Abstract

Two years ago, we found the supersymmetric counterpart of the spectral triple which specified noncommutative geometry. Based on the triple, we derived gauge vector supermultiplets, Higgs supermultiplets of the minimum supersymmetric standard model and its action. However, unlike the famous theories of Connes and his co-workers, the action does not couple to gravity. In this paper, we obtain the supersymmetric Dirac operator DM(SG)\mathcal{D}_M^{(SG)} on the Riemann-Cartan curved space replacing derivatives which appear in that of the triple with the covariant derivatives of general coordinate transformation. We apply the supersymmetric version of the spectral action principle and investigate the heat kernel expansion on the square of the Dirac operator. As a result, we obtain a new supergravity action which does not include the Ricci curvature tensor.
