Abstract

We formulate a quantum group analogue of the group of orinetation-preserving Riemannian isometries of a compact Riemannian spin manifold, more generally, of a (possibly RR-twisted in the sense of a paper of one of the authors, and of compact type) spectral triple. The main advantage of this formulation, which is directly in terms of the Dirac operator, is that it does not need the existence of any `good ' Laplacian as in our previous works on quantum isometry groups. Several interesting examples, including those coming from Rieffel-type deformation as well as the equivariant spectral triples on SUμ(2)SU_\mu(2) and Sμ02S^2_{\mu 0} are dicussed.
