Closed Strings and Non-Commutative/Non-Associative Geometry

In this talk I discuss that non-commutative and non-associative geometry emerges for closed strings moving in non-geometric backgrounds. The origin of closed string non-commutativity (non-associativity) is due to new closed string boundary conditions in the presence of non-geometric background fields. We will also discuss some aspects of closed string CFT in non-geometric target spaces.
