Abstract

We study the convergence aspects of the metric on spectral truncations of geometry. We find general conditions on sequences of operator system spectral triples that allows one to prove a result on Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of the corresponding state spaces when equipped with Connes' distance formula. We exemplify this result for spectral truncations of the circle, Fourier series on the circle with a finite number of Fourier modes, and matrix algebras that converge to the sphere.
