Title: Noncommutative geometry and the field with one element
Abstract: I will discuss the interplay between quantum statistical
mechanical systems associated to certain arithmetic
quotients in noncommutative geometry and some approaches
to the construction of algebraic geometry over the
non-existing field with one element. The lecture will
be mostly based on joint work with Connes and Consani.
