Central European Journal of Mathematics

Abstract

This is an extended version of a talk given by the author at the conference “Algebra and Topology in Interaction” on the occasion of the 70th Anniversary of D.B. Fuchs at UC Davis in September 2009. It is a brief survey of an area originated around 1995 by I. Gelfand and the speaker.
