MIMS Workshop on
New Directions in Noncommutative Geometry
10-11 July 2008

This workshop is part of the MIMS New Directions series of workshops taking place in MIMS throughout 2008. We like to think of this workshop as a sequel to the six-month programme on Noncommutative Geometry at the Isaac Newton Institute in 2006. The meeting will provide an opportunity to present the best results of the interim period, and to identify promising new directions for research. Within noncommutative geometry, the Baum-Connes conjecture unifies two themes:

• the cohomology of the admissible duals of Lie groups and p-adic groups
• K-theory of C*-algebras attached to groups and metric spaces

These two themes will be the focus of the workshop. The workshop will also be a celebration of Roger Plymen's 65th birthday.

This is an informal 2-day workshop limited to about 30 participants.

A poster is available.
