Non-commutative geometry and physics: A review of selected recent results

Research output: Contribution to journal › Review article › peer-review

Abstract

This review is based on two lectures given at the 2000 TMR school in Torino (TMR school on contemporary String Theory and Brane Physics, 26 January - 2 February 2000, Torino, Italy). We discuss two main themes: (a) Moyal-type deformations of gauge theories, as emerging from M-theory and open string theories, and (b) the non-commutative geometry of finite groups, with the explicit example of Z₂, and its application to Kaluza - Klein gauge theories on discrete internal spaces.
