Introduction to the Noncommutative Residue 

 

ABSTRACT:  The noncommutative residue is a trace on the algebra of pseudodifferential operators which was independently discovered by Wodzicki and Guillemin. It has many applications in geometric analysis, noncommutative geometry and mathematical physics. The aim of this talk will be to present an elementary construction of the noncommutative residue and to give an overview of its main properties.
