We study self-similar ultrametric Cantor sets arising from stationary Bratteli diagrams. We prove that such a Cantor set C is bi-Lipschitz embeddable in R^(d+1), where d denotes the integer part of its Hausdorff dimension. We compute this…

Pearson and Bellissard recently built a spectral triple - the data of Riemanian noncommutative geometry - for ultrametric Cantor sets. They derived a family of Laplace-Beltrami like operators on those sets. Motivated by the applications to…

A class of ultrametric Cantor sets $(C, d_{u})$ introduced recently in literature (Raut, S and Datta, D P (2009), Fractals, 17, 45-52) is shown to enjoy some novel properties. The ultrametric $d_{u}$ is defined using the concept of {\em…

An ultrametric Cantor set can be seen as the boundary of a rooted weighted tree called the Michon tree. The notion of Assouad dimension is re-interpreted as seen on the Michon tree. The Assouad dimension of an ultrametric Cantor set is…

We introduce the notion of a semi-Riemannian spectral triple which generalizes the notion of spectral triple and allows for a treatment of semi-Riemannian manifolds within a noncommutative setting. It turns out that the relevant spaces in…

We propose a construction for spectral triple on algebras associated with subshifts. One-dimensional subshifts provide concrete examples Z-actions on Cantor sets. The C*-algebra of this dynamical system is generated by functions in C(X) and…

Noncommutative geometry is used to study the local geometry of ultrametric spaces and the geometry of trees at infinity. Connes's example of the noncommutative space of Penrose tilings is interpreted as a non-Hausdorff orbit space of a…

Within a framework of noncommutative geometry, we develop an analogue of (pseudo) Riemannian geometry on finite and discrete sets. On a finite set, there is a counterpart of the continuum metric tensor with a simple geometric…

We give a survey of selected topics in noncommutative geometry, with some emphasis on those directly related to physics, including our recent work with Dirk Kreimer on renormalization and the Riemann-Hilbert problem. We discuss at length…

Given a C*-algebra A with a semicontinuous semifinite trace tau acting on the Hilbert space H, we define the family R of bounded Riemann measurable elements w.r.t. tau as a suitable closure, a la Dedekind, of A, in analogy with one of the…

The Laplace-Beltrami operator of a smooth Riemannian manifold is determined by the Riemannian metric. Conversely, the heat kernel constructed from its eigenvalues and eigenfunctions determines the Riemannian metric. This work proves the…

For metric spaces, the doubling property, the uniform disconnectedness, and the uniform perfectness are known as quasi-symmetric invariant properties. The David-Semmes uniformization theorem states that if a compact metric space satisfies…

Motivated by considerations of euclidean quantum gravity, we investigate a central question of spectral geometry, namely the question of reconstructability of compact Riemannian manifolds from the spectra of their Laplace operators. To this…

We construct several $C^*$-algebras and spectral triples associated to the Berkovich projective line $\mathbb{P}^1_{\mathrm{Berk}}({\mathbb{C}_p})$. In the commutative setting, we construct a spectral triple as a direct limit over finite…

In this paper, we construct Laplace-Beltrami operators associated with arbitrary Riemannian metrics on noncommutative tori of any dimension. These operators enjoy the main properties of the Laplace-Beltrami operators on ordinary Riemannian…

We systematically extend the elementary differential and Riemannian geometry of classical $\mathrm{U}(1)$-gauge theory to the noncommutative setting by combining recent advances in noncommutative Riemannian geometry with the theory of…

In this paper, we present two new ways to associate a spectral triple to a higher-rank graph $\Lambda$. Moreover, we prove that these spectral triples are intimately connected to the wavelet decomposition of the infinite path space of…

In this paper we continue the study of dilatation structures, introduced in math.MG/0608536 . A dilatation structure on a metric space is a kind of enhanced self-similarity. By way of examples this is explained here with the help of the…

We consider a family of Riemannian manifolds M such that for each unit speed geodesic gamma of M there exists a distinguished bijective correspondence L between infinitesimal translations along gamma and infinitesimal rotations around it.…

By introducing new deformations on symbolic Cantor sets and ultrametric spaces, we prove that doubling ultrametric spaces admit bilipschitz embedding into Cantor sets. If in addition the spaces are uniformly perfect, we show that they are…
