First Steps Towards a Symplectic Dynamics
by Barney Bramham, Helmut Hofer
Publisher: arXiv 2011
Number of pages: 60
Description:
Both the field of dynamical systems and the field of symplectic geometry have rich theories and the time seems ripe to develop the common core with highly integrated ideas from both fields. We discuss problems which show how dynamical systems questions and symplectic ideas come together in a nontrivial way.

Introduction to Braided Geometry and q-Minkowski Spaceby Shahn Majid - arXiv
Systematic introduction to the geometry of linear braided spaces. These are versions of Rn in which the coordinates xi have braid-statistics described by an R-matrix. From this starting point we survey the author's braided-approach to q-deformation.

Noncommutative Geometry, Quantum Fields and Motivesby Alain Connes, Matilde Marcolli - American Mathematical Society
The unifying theme of this book is the interplay among noncommutative geometry, physics, and number theory. The two main objects of investigation are spaces where both the noncommutative and the motivic aspects come to play a role.
