Gromov-Hausdorff distance for quantum metric spaces
Colloquium| Speaker: | Prof. Marc Rieffel, UC Berkeley |
| Location: | 593 Kerr |
| Start time: | Mon, Nov 27 2000, 4:10PM |
Description
I will give the definition of
"compact quantum metric spaces", with motivation and examples, including quantum tori.
Then I will recall the definition of Gromov-Hausdorff distance for ordinary compact metric
spaces, and show how to adapt this definition to quantum metric spaces. I will discuss its
properties. Finally I will show that this notion applies nicely to the quantum tori.
