An orbifold is a Morita equivalence class of a proper {\' e}tale Lie groupoid. A unitary equivalence class of spectral triples over the algebra of smooth invariant functions are associated with any compact spin orbifold. In the case of an…
Twisted complex $K$-theory can be defined for a space $X$ equipped with a bundle of complex projective spaces, or, equivalently, with a bundle of C$^*$-algebras. Up to equivalence, the twisting corresponds to an element of $H^3(X;\Z)$. We…
This paper is the second part of a series of papers on noncommutative geometry and conformal geometry. In this paper, we compute explicitly the Connes-Chern character of an equivariant Dirac spectral triple. The formula that we obtain for…
We explicitly calculate the Grothendieck $K$-theory ring of a smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stack and define an analog of the Chern character. In addition, we calculate $K$-theory pushforwards and pullbacks for weighted blowups of reduced…
In the setting of a proper, cocompact action by a locally compact, unimodular group $G$ on a Riemannian manifold, we construct equivariant spectral flow of paths of Dirac-type operators. This takes values in the $K$-theory of the group…
Almost commutative models provide a framework for Connes' work on the standard model of particle physics. These models are constructed as products of a the canonical spectral triple of a compact connected spin manifold with a finite…
We use equivariant methods to establish basic properties of orbifold K-theory. We introduce the notion of twisted orbifold K-theory in the presence of discrete torsion, and show how it can be explicitly computed for global quotients.
We introduce a twisted version of $K$-theory with coefficients in a $C^*$-algebra $A$, where the twist is given by a new kind of gerbe, which we call Morita bundle gerbe. We use the description of twisted $K$-theory in the torsion case by…
We decompose the twisted index obstruction $\theta(M)$ against positive scalar curvature metrics for oriented manifolds with spin universal cover into a pairing of a twisted $K$-homology with a twisted $K$-theory class and prove that…
We study an index of a transversal Dirac operator on an odd-dimensional manifold $X$ with locally free $\mathbb{S}^1$-action. One difficulty of using heat kernel method lies in the understanding of the asymptotic expansion as $t\to 0^+$. By…
This paper establishes a link between Noncommutative Geometry and canonical quantum gravity. A semi-finite spectral triple over a space of connections is presented. The triple involves an algebra of holonomy loops and a Dirac type operator…
The purpose of the paper is twofold: First, known results of the noncommutative spin geometry of the standard Podles sphere are extended by discussing Poincare duality and orientability. In the discussion of orientability, Hochschild…
We study a noncommutative analogue of a spacetime foliated by spacelike hypersurfaces, in both Riemannian and Lorentzian signatures. First, in the classical commutative case, we show that the canonical Dirac operator on the total spacetime…
We consider the Dirac operator of a general metric in the canonical conformal class on the noncommutative two torus, twisted by an idempotent (representing the $K$-theory class of a general noncommutative vector bundle), and derive a local…
We present examples of equivariant noncommutative Lorentzian spectral geometries. The equivariance with respect to a compact isometry group (or quantum group) allows to construct the algebraic data of a version of spectral triple geometry…
We provide sufficient conditions to factorise an equivariant spectral triple as a Kasparov product of unbounded classes constructed from the group action on the algebra and from the fixed point spectral triple. Our results are for the…
We construct certain spectral triples in the sense of A. ~Connes and H. \~Moscovici (``The local index formula in noncommutative geometry'' {\it Geom. Funct. Anal.}, 5(2):174--243, 1995) that is transversally elliptic but not necessarily…
For an integral cohomology class H of degree n+2 on a space X, we define twisted Morava K-theory K(n)(X; H) at the prime 2, as well as an integral analogue. We explore properties of this twisted cohomology theory, study a twisted…
A proper etale Lie groupoid is modelled as a (noncommutative) spectral geometric space. The spectral triple is built on the algebra of smooth functions on the groupoid base which are invariant under the groupoid action. Stiefel-Whitney…
We develop a theory of motivic spectra in a broad generality; in particular $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy invariance is not assumed. As an application, we prove that $K$-theory of schemes is a universal Zariski sheaf of spectra which is equipped…
