About the Project

The application of Operator Algebras and K-theory to understand structural problems arising in statistical mechanics and conformal quantum field theory.
Operator Algebras and Noncommutative Geometry has become a central field in mathematics with applications and connections across mathematics and theoretical physics. The project integrates algebra, analysis, geometry and topology and applications in and drawing inspiration from physical problems – statistical mechanics and conformal quantum field theory. The field is important worldwide with centres in Vanderbilt, Berkeley, UCLA, Harvard, Toronto, Kyoto, Tokyo, Canberra, and Sydney and numerous centres in Europe. The proposer has strong links with all of these – including ongoing collaborations with Gannon in Canada, Grossman at UNSW and Kawahigashi at Tokyo University
