We study the spectral functional tr f(D+A) for a suitable function f, a self-adjoint operator D having compact resolvent, and a certain class of bounded self-adjoint operators A. Such functionals were introduce by Chamseddine and Connes in…

We introduce an intrinsic deformation of the algebra of smooth functions on a compact Riemannian manifold using only the Laplace spectral decomposition. The construction twists the canonical multiplication-projection channels by unimodular…

We consider a generic curved non-commutative torus extending the notion of conformally deformed non-commutative torus from \cite{Connes-Tretkoff}. In general, a curved non-commutative torus is no longer represented by a spectral triple, not…

We show the non-positivity of the Einstein-Hilbert action for conformal flat Riemannian metrics. The action vanishes only when the metric is constant flat. This recovers an earlier result of Fathizadeh-Khalkhali in the setting of spectral…

A Dirac operator is presented that will yield a 1+ summable regular even spectral triple for all noncommutative compact surfaces defined as subalgebras of the Toeplitz algebra. Connes' conditions for noncommutative spin geometries are…

Within the framework of Connes' noncommutative geometry, the notion of an almost commutative manifold can be used to describe field theories on compact Riemannian spin manifolds. The most notable example is the derivation of the Standard…

Let $N$ be a connected and simply connected nilpotent Lie group, $\Lambda$ a lattice in $N$, and $X=N/\Lambda$ the corresponding nilmanifold. Let $Aff(X)$ be the group of affine transformations of $X$. We characterize the countable…

This paper is the 2nd part of a two-paper series whose aim is to give a detailed description of Connes' pseudodifferential calculus on noncommutative $n$-tori, $n\geq 2$. We make use of the tools introduced in the 1st part to deal with the…

We show that the spectral action, when perturbed by a gauge potential, can be written as a series of Chern--Simons actions and Yang--Mills actions of all orders. In the odd orders, generalized Chern--Simons forms are integrated against an…

We study spectral properties of a class of global infinite order pseudo-differential operators and obtain the asymptotic behaviour of the spectral counting functions of such operators. Unlike their finite order counterparts, their spectral…

In this paper, we investigate some new spectral torsion which is the extension of spectral torsion for Dirac operators, and compute the spectral torsion associated with nonminimal de Rham-Hodge operators on manifolds with (or without)…

We review aspects of our formalism for differential geometry on noncommutative and nonassociative spaces which arise from cochain twist deformation quantization of manifolds. We work in the simplest setting of trivial vector bundles and…

We consider the spectral action within the context of a 4-dimensional manifold with torsion and show that, in the vacuum case, the equations of motion reduce to Einstein's equations, securing the linear stability of the theory. To…

These lectures notes are an intoduction for physicists to several ideas and applications of noncommutative geometry. The necessary mathematical tools are presented in a way which we feel should be accessible to physicists. We illustrate…

We relate the recently defined spectral torsion with the algebraic torsion of noncommutative differential calculi on the example of the almost-commutative geometry of the product of a closed oriented Riemannian spin manifold $M$ with the…

We construct spectral triples on all Podles quantum spheres. These noncommutative geometries are equivariant for a left action of $U_q(su(2))$ and are regular, even and of metric dimension 2. They are all isospectral to the undeformed round…

The spectral distance for noncommutative Moyal planes is considered in the framework of a non compact spectral triple recently proposed as a possible noncommutative analog of non compact Riemannian spin manifold. An explicit formula for the…

Topological and geometrical methods are used to calculate the pseudorotational part of the vibronic spectrum for an electronic triplet of an octahedral, tetrahedral, or icosahedral molecule. The calculations take into account the nontrivial…
