Spectral triples and Toeplitz operators

We give examples of spectral triples, in the sense of A. Connes, constructed using the algebra of Toeplitz operators on smoothly bounded strictly pseudoconvex domains in $C^n$, or the star product for the Berezin-Toeplitz quantization. Our main tool is the theory of generalized Toeplitz operators on the boundary of such domains, due to Boutet de Monvel and Guillemin.Comment: 31 page

κ\kappa-deformation, affine group and spectral triples

A regular spectral triple is proposed for a two-dimensional $\kappa$-deformation. It is based on the naturally associated affine group $G$, a smooth subalgebra of $C^*(G)$, and an operator \caD defined by two derivations on this subalgebra. While \caD has metric dimension two, the spectral dimension of the triple is one. This bypasses an obstruction described in \cite{IochMassSchu11a} on existence of finitely-summable spectral triples for a compactified $\kappa$-deformation.Comment: 29 page

Spectral action in noncommutative geometry: An example

International audienceThis is a report on a joint work [12] with D. Essouabri, C. Levy and A. Sitarz. The spectral action on noncommutative torus is obtained, using a Chamseddine–Connes formula via computations of zeta functions. The importance of a Diophantine condition is outlined as far as the difficulties to go beyond. Some results on holomorphic continuation of series of holomorphic functions are presented

Spectral action on noncommutative torus

The spectral action on noncommutative torus is obtained, using a Chamseddine--Connes formula via computations of zeta functions. The importance of a Diophantine condition is outlined. Several results on holomorphic continuation of series of holomorphic functions are obtained in this context.Comment: 57 page

Moyal Planes are Spectral Triples

Axioms for nonunital spectral triples, extending those introduced in the unital case by Connes, are proposed. As a guide, and for the sake of their importance in noncommutative quantum field theory, the spaces $\R^{2N}$ endowed with Moyal products are intensively investigated. Some physical applications, such as the construction of noncommutative Wick monomials and the computation of the Connes--Lott functional action, are given for these noncommutative hyperplanes.Comment: Latex, 54 pages.

Pythagoras' Theorem on a 2D-Lattice from a "Natural" Dirac Operator and Connes' Distance Formula

One of the key ingredients of A. Connes' noncommutative geometry is a generalized Dirac operator which induces a metric(Connes' distance) on the state space. We generalize such a Dirac operator devised by A. Dimakis et al, whose Connes' distance recovers the linear distance on a 1D lattice, into 2D lattice. This Dirac operator being "naturally" defined has the so-called "local eigenvalue property" and induces Euclidean distance on this 2D lattice. This kind of Dirac operator can be generalized into any higher dimensional lattices.Comment: Latex 11pages, no figure
