Theme of Conference:

This first workshop will focus on the mathematics of noncommutative
differential geometry, centered on cyclic cohomology. Current trends to be
covered include: (a) Strong progress in noncommutative Chern-Weil theory
and the cyclic cohomology of Hopf algebras, sparked by work on the
transverse index theory of foliations. (b) The growing deep connection
between noncommutative geometry and number theory, in particular the
relation between the theory of motives in the sense of Grothendieck and
noncommutative geometry. (c) Related developments in algebraic K-theory,
triangulated categories, quantum group methods.

Invited Speakers to Include (to be confirmed):

P Baum, A Connes, C Consani, N Higson, M Karoubi, M Khalkhali, M
Kontsevich, M Marcolli, H Moscovici, R Nest, R Plymen, G Segal, B Tsygan,
M Wodzicki, G Yu.

Location and Cost:

The conference will take place at the Newton Institute and
accommodation for participants will be provided in single study bedrooms
with shared bathroom at Wolfson
Court. The conference package, costing £480, includes
accommodation, breakfast and dinner from dinner on Sunday 30 July
2006 to breakfast on Saturday 5 August 2006, and
lunch and refreshments during the days that lectures take place.
Participants who wish to attend but do not require the Conference Package
will be charged a registration fee of £40. Self-supporting participants
are very welcome to apply.
