Operator algebras and geometry
In the early 1980's topologists and geometers for the first time came across unfamiliar words like C^*-algebras and von Neumann algebras through the discovery of new knot invariants (by V.F.R. Jones) or through a remarkable result on the relationship between characteristic classes of foliations and the types of certain von Neumann algebras. During the following two decades, a great deal of progress was achieved in studying the interaction between geometry and analysis, in particular in noncommu…

Summary
In the early 1980's topologists and geometers for the first time came across unfamiliar words like C^*-algebras and von Neumann algebras through the discovery of new knot invariants (by V.F.R. Jones) or through a remarkable result on the relationship between characteristic classes of foliations and the types of certain von Neumann algebras. During the following two decades, a great deal of progress was achieved in studying the interaction between geometry and analysis, in particular in noncommutative geometry and mathematical physics. The present book provides an overview of operator algebra.
