Quantum geometry of field extensions

Abstract

We show that noncommutative differential forms on k[x]k[x], kk a field, are of the form Ω1=kλ[x]\Omega^1=k_\lambda[x] where kλkk_\lambda\supset k is a field extension. We compute the case CRC\supset R explicitly, where Ω1\Omega^1 is 2-dimensional. We study the induced quantum de Rahm complex, its cohomology and the associated moduli space of flat connections.
