PHD POSITION IN NONCOMMUTATIVE GEOMETRY AND FUNCTION THEORY (1.0 FTE)

The Mathematical Institute is looking for a PhD candidate to join the VIDI project From Ideals to Quantum Spaces, the noncommutative geometry of bounded symmetric domains, under the supervision of Francesca Arici

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

Applications are invited for a 4-year PhD position with Francesca Arici at the Mathematical Institute of the University of Leiden, as part of the VIDI project “The noncommutative geometry of bounded symmetric domains”. The overarching aim of this project is to achieve a comprehensive understanding of a wide spectrum of quantum spaces known as quantum symmetric domains, central to the framework of noncommutative geometry (NCG).
The proposed research revolves around the following key objectives:Characterise quantum symmetric domains and related algebras in terms of structural properties and topological and geometric invariants.
To achieve this objective, the candidate will combine the analytical tools from the theory of operator algebras and noncommutative geometry with the algebraic tools coming from the study of algebraic quantum groups and other noncommutative algebras.
You can get an idea of the research interests of your prospective supervisor from her homepage.
You will be joining an active and growing group around noncommutative geometry and functional analysis, within a larger group in Leiden specializing in Analysis and Dynamical Systems.
