Abstract: I will discuss some basics of p-adic numbers, some examples of $C^*$-algebras that naturally arise from the crossed product of the continuous functions on $Z_p$ with automorphisms and endomorphisms coming from the action of p-adic multiplication. I will also discuss some basic structure, including identifying ideals, short exact sequences and if time allows some K-Theory.

Noncommutative geometry in NYC

Series comments: Noncommutative Geometry studies an interplay between spatial forms and algebras with non-commutative multiplication. Our seminar welcomes talks in Number Theory, Geometric Topology and Representation Theory linked to the context of Operator Algebras. All talks are kept at the entry-level accessible to the graduate students and non-experts in the field. To join us click meet.google.com/zjd-ehrs-wtx (5 min in advance) and igor DOT v DOT nikolaev AT gmail DOT com to subscribe/unsubscribe for the mailing list, to propose a talk or to suggest a speaker. Pending speaker's consent, we record and publish all talks at the hyperlink "video" on speaker's profile at the "Past talks" section. The slides can be posted by providing the organizers with a link in the format "myschool.edu/~myfolder/myslides.pdf". The duration of talks is 1 hour plus or minus 10 minutes.
