Forces from noncommutative geometry

Abstract

Einstein derived general relativity from Riemannian geometry. Connes extends this derivation to noncommutative geometry and obtains electro-magnetic, weak and strong forces. These are pseudo forces, that accompany the gravitational force just as in Minkowskian geometry the magnetic force accompanies the electric force. The main physical input of Connes' derivation is parity violation. His main output is the Higgs boson which breaks the gauge symmetry spontaneously and gives masses to gauge and Higgs bosons.
