THE SPECTRAL APPROACH TO GEOMETRY AND PHYSICS

by Prof. CONNES Alain (College de France)

Tuesday 7 Oct 2008, 16:00 → 18:00 Europe/Rome

Aula Conversi (Dip. di Fisica - Edificio G. Marconi)

Colloquio congiunto Dip. di Fisica - Dip. di Matematica. This talk will explain general aspects connecting geometry and physics such as the spectral approach to the standard model coupled to gravity and its recent developments. In particular we will discuss the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix as an invariant in Riemaniann geometry, complementary to the spectral invariants.
