Bi-Graded Markovian Matrices as Non-Local Dirac Operators and a New Quantum Evolution

Measuring distances on a lattice in noncommutative geometry involves square, symmetric and real ``three-diagonal'' matrices, with the sum of their elements obeying a supremum condition, together with a constraint forcing the absolute value of the maximal eigenvalue to be equal to 1. In even dimensions, these matrices are unipotent of order two, while in odd dimensions only their squares are Markovian. We suggest that these bi-graded Markovian matrices (i.e. consisting in the square roots of Markovian matrices) can be thought of as non-local Dirac operators. The eigenvectors of these matrices are spinors. Treating these matrices as determining the stochastic time evolution of states might explain why one observes only left handed neutrinos. Some other physical interpretations are suggested. We end by presenting a mathematical conjecture applying to q-graded Markovian matrices.
