Description
The Poulsen simplex is a canonical object in the theory of Choquet simplices. It can be characterized as the unique metrizable Choquet simplex with dense extreme boundary. In my talk I will explain what is the noncommutative Poulsen simplex, and why it plays a similar canonical role in the theory of noncommutative simplices. This is joint work with Ken Davidson and Matt Kennedy.
