Description

The quantization of Einstein's theory of gravitation is one of the main unsolved problems of current physics, and it seems clear that its solution will require new mathematical developments. In this sense, noncommutative geometry is one of the most adequate mathematical constructions to describe the quantum nature of spacetime geometry at very high energies. Therefore, this COST action aims to create a network of the best European experts in the field of non-commutative geometry and its relations with the theory of classical and quantum gravitation.
