Description of  Superstrings, Geometry, Topology, and C*-algebras (Proceedings of Symposia in Pure Mathematics, 81)

0821848879 rar The principal lecturer at the regional conference was Jonathan Rosenberg (U. of Maryland), but his lectures are published elsewhere, though he does provide a technical introduction explaining how the other 11 papers are linked. Among the topics are the functoriality of Rieffel's generalized fixed-point algebras for proper actions, division algebras and supersymmetry, Riemann-Roch and index formulae in twisted K-theory, noncommutative Yang-Mills theory for quantum Heisenberg manifolds, distances between matrix algebras that converge to coadjoint orbits, and geometric and topological structures related to M-branes.
