Learning Seminar on Free Analysis

Eli Shamovich, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

"Background and basics"

The study of free analysis --- a quantized version of complex analysis was initiated by Taylor and Voiculescu. Free analysis is the study of functions of several noncommuting complex variables. This is the introductory talk of the seminar. I will cover the origins of free analysis in the works of Taylor and Voiculescu. We will define noncommutative (nc) sets and functions and provide basic examples.
