  • Chapter
Noncommutative Differential Geometry and Its Applications to Physics

Part of the book series: Mathematical Physics Studies ((MPST,volume 23))

Abstract

These notes contain a survey of some aspects of the theory of graded differential algebras and of noncommutative differential calculi as well as of some applications connected with physics. They also give a description of several new developments.
