<p><b>Noncommutative algebraic geometry</b> is a branch of <a href="Mathematics" title="Mathematics">mathematics</a>, and more specifically a direction in <a href="Noncommutative_geometry" title="Noncommutative geometry">noncommutative geometry</a>, that studies the geometric properties of formal duals of <a href="Non-commutative" class="mw-redirect" title="Non-commutative">non-commutative</a> <a href="Algebra" title="Algebra">algebraic objects</a> such as <a href="Ring_(mathematics)" title="Ring (mathematics)">rings</a> as well as geometric objects derived from them (e.g. by gluing along localizations or taking noncommutative <a href="Stack_quotient" class="mw-redirect" title="Stack quotient">stack quotients</a>).
</p><p>For example, noncommutative algebraic geometry is supposed to extend a notion of an <a href="Scheme_(mathematics)" title="Scheme (mathematics)">algebraic scheme</a> by suitable gluing of spectra of noncommutative rings; depending on how literally and how generally this aim (and a notion of spectrum) is understood in noncommutative setting, this has been achieved in various level of success. The noncommutative ring generalizes here a commutative <a href="Ring_of_regular_functions" class="mw-redirect" title="Ring of regular functions">ring of regular functions</a> on a <a href="Scheme_(mathematics)" title="Scheme (mathematics)">commutative scheme</a>. Functions on usual spaces in the traditional (commutative) <a href="Algebraic_geometry" title="Algebraic geometry">algebraic geometry</a> have a product defined by <a href="Pointwise_multiplication" class="mw-redirect" title="Pointwise multiplication">pointwise multiplication</a>; as the values of these functions <a href="Commutative_property" title="Commutative property">commute</a>, the functions also commute: <i>a</i> times <i>b</i> equals <i>b</i> times <i>a</i>. It is remarkable that viewing noncommutative associative algebras as algebras of functions on "noncommutative" would-be space is a far-reaching geometric intuition, though it formally looks like a fallacy.
</p><p>Much of the motivation for noncommutative geometry, and in particular for the noncommutative algebraic geometry, is from physics; especially from quantum physics, where the <a href="Observables" class="mw-redirect" title="Observables">algebras of observables</a> are indeed viewed as noncommutative analogues of functions, hence having the ability to observe their geometric aspects is desirable.
</p><p>One of the values of the field is that it also provides new techniques to study objects in commutative algebraic geometry such as <a href="Brauer_group" title="Brauer group">Brauer groups</a>.
</p><p>The methods of noncommutative algebraic geometry are analogs of the methods of commutative algebraic geometry, but frequently the foundations are different. Local behavior in commutative algebraic geometry is captured by <a href="Commutative_algebra" title="Commutative algebra">commutative algebra</a> and especially the study of <a href="Local_ring" title="Local ring">local rings</a>. These do not have a ring-theoretic analogue in the noncommutative setting; though in a categorical setup one can talk about <a href="Stack_(mathematics)" title="Stack (mathematics)">stacks</a> of local categories of <a href="Quasicoherent_sheaf" class="mw-redirect" title="Quasicoherent sheaf">quasicoherent sheaves</a> over noncommutative spectra. Global properties such as those arising from <a href="Homological_algebra" title="Homological algebra">homological algebra</a> and <a href="K-theory" title="K-theory">K-theory</a> more frequently carry over to the noncommutative setting.

<p>Commutative algebraic geometry begins by constructing the <a href="Spectrum_of_a_ring" title="Spectrum of a ring">spectrum of a ring</a>. The points of the algebraic variety (or more generally, <a href="Scheme_(mathematics)" title="Scheme (mathematics)">scheme</a>) are the <a href="Prime_ideal" title="Prime ideal">prime ideals</a> of the ring, and the functions on the algebraic variety are the elements of the ring. A noncommutative ring, however, may not have any proper non-zero two-sided prime ideals. For instance, this is true of the <a href="Weyl_algebra" title="Weyl algebra">Weyl algebra</a> of polynomial <a href="Differential_operator" title="Differential operator">differential operators</a> on affine space: The Weyl algebra is a <a href="Simple_ring" title="Simple ring">simple ring</a>. Therefore, one can for instance attempt to replace a prime spectrum by a <a href="Primitive_spectrum" class="mw-redirect" title="Primitive spectrum">primitive spectrum</a>: there are also the theory of <a href="Non-commutative_localization" class="mw-redirect" title="Non-commutative localization">non-commutative localization</a> as well as <a href="Descent_theory" class="mw-redirect" title="Descent theory">descent theory</a>. This works to some extent: for instance, <a href="Dixmier" class="mw-redirect" title="Dixmier">Dixmier</a>'s <i>enveloping algebras</i> may be thought of as working out non-commutative algebraic geometry for the primitive spectrum of an enveloping algebra of a <a href="Lie_algebra" title="Lie algebra">Lie algebra</a>. Another work in a similar spirit is <a href="Michael_Artin" title="Michael Artin">Michael Artin</a>’s notes titled “noncommutative rings”,<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> which in part is an attempt to study <a href="Representation_theory" title="Representation theory">representation theory</a> from a non-commutative-geometry point of view. The key insight to both approaches is that <a href="Irreducible_representations" class="mw-redirect" title="Irreducible representations">irreducible representations</a>, or at least <a href="Primitive_ideal" title="Primitive ideal">primitive ideals</a>, can be thought of as “non-commutative points”.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Modern_viewpoint_using_categories_of_sheaves">Modern viewpoint using categories of sheaves</h3></div>
<p>As it turned out, starting from, say, primitive spectra, it was not easy to develop a workable <a href="Sheaf_theory" class="mw-redirect" title="Sheaf theory">sheaf theory</a>. One might imagine this difficulty is because of a sort of quantum phenomenon: points in a space can influence points far away (and in fact, it is not appropriate to treat points individually and view a space as a mere collection of the points).
</p><p>Due to the above, one accepts a paradigm implicit in <a href="Pierre_Gabriel" title="Pierre Gabriel">Pierre Gabriel</a>'s thesis and partly justified by the <a href="Gabriel%E2%80%93Rosenberg_reconstruction_theorem" title="Gabriel–Rosenberg reconstruction theorem">Gabriel–Rosenberg reconstruction theorem</a> (after <a href="Pierre_Gabriel" title="Pierre Gabriel">Pierre Gabriel</a> and <a href="Alexander_L._Rosenberg" title="Alexander L. Rosenberg">Alexander L. Rosenberg</a>) that a commutative scheme can be reconstructed, up to isomorphism of schemes, solely from the <a href="Abelian_category" title="Abelian category">abelian category</a> of <a href="Quasicoherent_sheaf" class="mw-redirect" title="Quasicoherent sheaf">quasicoherent sheaves</a> on the scheme. <a href="Alexander_Grothendieck" title="Alexander Grothendieck">Alexander Grothendieck</a> taught that to do geometry one does not need a space, it is enough to have a category of sheaves on that would-be space; this idea has been transmitted to noncommutative algebra by <a href="Yuri_Manin" title="Yuri Manin">Yuri Manin</a>. There are, a bit weaker, reconstruction theorems from the derived categories of (quasi)coherent sheaves motivating the <b>derived noncommutative algebraic geometry</b> (see just below).

<p>Perhaps the most recent approach is through the <a href="Deformation_theory" class="mw-redirect" title="Deformation theory">deformation theory</a>, placing non-commutative algebraic geometry in the realm of <a href="Derived_algebraic_geometry" title="Derived algebraic geometry">derived algebraic geometry</a>.
</p><p>As a motivating example, consider the one-dimensional <a href="Weyl_algebra" title="Weyl algebra">Weyl algebra</a> over the <a href="Complex_number" title="Complex number">complex numbers</a> <b>C</b>. This is the quotient of the free ring <b>C</b>&lt;<i>x</i>, <i>y</i>&gt; by the relation
</p>
<dl><dd><i>xy</i> - <i>yx</i> = 1.</dd></dl>
<p>This ring represents the polynomial differential operators in a single variable <i>x</i>; <i>y</i> stands in for the differential operator ∂<sub><i>x</i></sub>. This ring fits into a one-parameter family given by the relations <span class="nowrap"><i>xy</i> - <i>yx</i> = α</span>. When α is not zero, then this relation determines a ring isomorphic to the Weyl algebra. When α is zero, however, the relation is the commutativity relation for <i>x</i> and <i>y</i>, and the resulting quotient ring is the polynomial ring in two variables, <b>C</b>[<i>x</i>, <i>y</i>]. Geometrically, the polynomial ring in two variables represents the two-dimensional <a href="Affine_space" title="Affine space">affine space</a> <b>A</b><sup>2</sup>, so the existence of this one-parameter family says that <i>affine space admits non-commutative deformations to the space determined by the Weyl algebra.</i> This deformation is related to the <a href="Symbol_of_a_differential_operator" class="mw-redirect" title="Symbol of a differential operator">symbol of a differential operator</a> and that <b>A</b><sup>2</sup> is the <a href="Cotangent_bundle" title="Cotangent bundle">cotangent bundle</a> of the affine line. (Studying the Weyl algebra can lead to information about affine space: The <a href="Dixmier_conjecture" title="Dixmier conjecture">Dixmier conjecture</a> about the Weyl algebra is equivalent to the <a href="Jacobian_conjecture" title="Jacobian conjecture">Jacobian conjecture</a> about affine space.)
</p><p>In this line of the approach, the notion of <i><a href="Operad" title="Operad">operad</a></i>, a set or space of operations, becomes prominent: in the introduction to (<a href="#CITEREFFrancis2008">Francis 2008</a>), Francis writes:

<p>One of the basic constructions in commutative algebraic geometry is the <a href="Proj_construction" title="Proj construction">Proj construction</a> of a <a href="Graded_commutative_ring" class="mw-redirect" title="Graded commutative ring">graded commutative ring</a>. This construction builds a <a href="Projective_algebraic_variety" class="mw-redirect" title="Projective algebraic variety">projective algebraic variety</a> together with a <a href="Very_ample_line_bundle" class="mw-redirect" title="Very ample line bundle">very ample line bundle</a> whose <a href="Homogeneous_coordinate_ring" title="Homogeneous coordinate ring">homogeneous coordinate ring</a> is the original ring. Building the underlying topological space of the variety requires localizing the ring, but building sheaves on that space does not. By a theorem of <a href="Jean-Pierre_Serre" title="Jean-Pierre Serre">Jean-Pierre Serre</a>, quasi-coherent sheaves on Proj of a graded ring are the same as graded modules over the ring up to finite dimensional factors. The philosophy of <a href="Topos_theory" class="mw-redirect" title="Topos theory">topos theory</a> promoted by <a href="Alexander_Grothendieck" title="Alexander Grothendieck">Alexander Grothendieck</a> says that the category of sheaves on a space can serve as the space itself. Consequently, in non-commutative algebraic geometry one often defines Proj in the following fashion: Let <i>R</i> be a graded <b>C</b>-algebra, and let Mod-<i>R</i> denote the category of graded right <i>R</i>-modules. Let <i>F</i> denote the subcategory of Mod-<i>R</i> consisting of all modules of finite length. Proj <i>R</i> is defined to be the quotient of the abelian category Mod-<i>R</i> by <i>F</i>. Equivalently, it is a <a href="Localization_of_a_category" title="Localization of a category">localization</a> of Mod-<i>R</i> in which two modules become isomorphic if, after taking their direct sums with appropriately chosen objects of <i>F</i>, they are isomorphic in Mod-<i>R</i>.
</p><p>This approach leads to a theory of <a href="Non-commutative_projective_geometry" class="mw-redirect" title="Non-commutative projective geometry">non-commutative projective geometry</a>. A non-commutative smooth projective curve turns out to be a smooth commutative curve, but for singular curves or smooth higher-dimensional spaces, the non-commutative setting allows new objects.
