Finiteness of metrics on state spaces

Operator Algebras 2024-02-21 v3

Abstract

We show that Connes' metric on the state space associated with a spectral triple is nowhere infinite exactly when it is globally bounded. Moreover, we produce a family of simple examples showing that this is not automatically the case.
