Title: | Noncommutative curves and noncommutative surfaces | Authors: | Stafford, JT VAN DEN BERGH, Michel |
Issue Date: | 2001 | Publisher: | AMER MATHEMATICAL SOC | Source: | BULLETIN OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY, 38(2). p. 171-216 | Abstract: | In this survey article we describe some geometric results in the theory of noncommutative rings and, more generally, in the theory of abelian categories. Roughly speaking and by analogy with the commutative situation, the category of graded modules modulo torsion over a noncommutative graded ring of quadratic, respectively cubic, growth should be thought of as the noncommutative analogue of a projective curve, respectively surface. This intuition has led to a remarkable number of nontrivial insights and results in noncommutative algebra. Indeed, the problem of classifying noncommutative curves (and noncommutative graded rings of quadratic growth) can be regarded as settled. Despite the fact that no classification of noncommutative surfaces is in sight, a rich body of nontrivial examples and techniques, including blowing up and down, has been developed. | Notes: | Univ Michigan, Dept Math, Ann Arbor, MI 48109 USA.
