Associative Algebraic Geometry

Arvid Siqveland, Cand. Scient. (Master) at University of Oslo 1990 under the supervision of O Arnfinn Laudal, Dr Scient. (PhD) at University of Oslo 1996 under the supervision of O Arnfinn Laudal. Siqveland has published a series of articles on deformation theory, half of them on noncommutative deformation theory. He has been on the editorial board of several East-European mathematical Journals and was very active in the Nordic Baltic Algebraic Geometry and Mathematical Physics cooperation (AGMP) during his period as a Dean for the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences at USN from 2006–2014. He was one of the authors of the book Noncommutative Deformation Theory published in 2017, and in 2021, O Arnfinn Laudal published the book Mathematical Models in Science which Siqveland helped in editing. This was when he understood that there was a missing link between deformation theory and mathematical models, and that this link was a noncommutative algebraic geometry.
