Noncommutative versions of manifolds can be defined in many different ways, depending on both aim and original motivation. In this talk, I will define a Poisson structure on the intersection of d-2 hypersurfaces, where each hypersurface is described as the zero set of a real polynomial in d variables. A noncommutative algebra A is then defined via a set of relations, which are obtained from the structure of the Poisson algebra on the intersection, and A may be regarded as a "noncommutative coordinate ring". For specific families of hypersurfaces, it turns out that the (hermitian) representation theory of A respects certain geometric properties of the intersection. Apart from some remarks on the general low-degree cases, I will present a family of hypersurfaces (of varying geometry) that provides an example where one can explicitly study the relationship between geometry and representation theory.
