什么是非交换几何(非交换拓扑)（What is non-commutative geometry (non-switching topology)） At the Christmas party, someone asked me what the geometry was. I regret that I had given a huge, bullshit explanation, so now Im reinterpreting it as compensation for more than one person. Because I only know the initial motivation for the non-commutative geometry, I think thats more of a non-commutative topology, so I can only explain what a non-commutative topology is. What is topology. Classic description is said that if there is a rubber band, get it arbitrary bending, stretching, compressing, as long as you promise not to tear a hole, not the different parts of the tape together. The properties that are invariant under various deformation are called topological properties. To understand the topological nature of an object, we only need two types of information: 1. What are the components of this thing? 2. What points are very close to each other (this is a very clear one). A little bit more technical, the first type of information is to describe this thing as a collection, what is the element in it. The second type of information is the so-called topology, and there are known ways to describe this type of information. If you know what a set is, what the topological structure is, then its a topological space, and you can look at its topological properties. Like a surface in three dimensions. Obviously we know what it is as a set (some points in the three-dimensional space), and we intuitively know which ones are closer together. So the surface is a topological space. In fact we have a way of turning a lot of things into a topological space. For example, put all the polynomial functions in the interval [0, 1] together, and call it P. There is a way to add a (meaningful) topology to P to make P a topological space. There are many things that can be determined by topology. Or consider the interval [0, 1]. Intuitively we know what the continuous function is on [0, 1]. Its just the function o
