Please Note: This will be a 2 hour talk.

In this lecture the analog of Riemannian manifold will be introduced through the notion of spectral triple. The recent work on the case of a metric Cantor set, endowed with an ultrametric, will be described in detail during this lecture. An analog of the Laplace Beltrami operator for a metric Cantor set will be defined and studied
