Deformations of Algebras in Noncommutative Geometry
by Travis Schedler
Publisher: arXiv 2015
Number of pages: 120
Description:
In these notes, we give an example-motivated review of the deformation theory of associative algebras in terms of the Hochschild cochain complex as well as quantization of Poisson structures, and Kontsevich's formality theorem in the smooth setting. We then discuss quantization and deformation via Calabi-Yau algebras and potentials.

Homological Methods in Noncommutative Geometryby D. Kaledin
The first seven lectures deal with the homological part of the story (cyclic homology, its various definitions, various additional structures it possesses). Then there are four lectures centered around Hochschild cohomology and the formality theorem.

Noncommutative Geometry, Quantum Fields and Motivesby Alain Connes, Matilde Marcolli - American Mathematical Society
The unifying theme of this book is the interplay among noncommutative geometry, physics, and number theory. The two main objects of investigation are spaces where both the noncommutative and the motivic aspects come to play a role.
