The well known relation between extended supersymmetry and complex geometry in the non-linear sigma-models is reviewed, and some recent developments related to the introduction of the non-anti-commutativity, in the context of the…
Finslerian extensions of Special and General Relativity -- commonly referred to as Very Special and Very General Relativity -- necessitate the development of a unified Lorentz-Finsler geometry. However, the scope of this geometric framework…
Based on Berenstein and Retakh's notion of noncommutative polygons we introduce and study noncommutative frieze patterns. We generalize several notions and fundamental properties from the classic (commutative) frieze patterns to…
We apply quantum group methods for noncommutative geometry to the $Z_2\times Z_2$ lattice to obtain a natural Dirac operator on this discrete space. This then leads to an interpretation of the Higgs fields as the discrete part of spacetime…
A summary of noncommutative spectral geometry as an approach to unification is presented. The role of the doubling of the algebra, the seeds of quantization and some cosmological implications are briefly discussed.
What is the distance between two points in spacetime? This is a basic geometric question, which so far has no single, definitive answer. Unlike their Riemannian cousins, Lorentzian manifolds are not known to carry a canonical distance…
In this second part of the paper, we define spectral spacetimes, a noncommutative generalization of Lorentzian orientable spacetimes of even dimension with a spin structure. There are two main differences with spectral triples: the…
We extend the construction of [19] by introducing spaces of generalized tensor fields on smooth manifolds that possess optimal embedding and consistency properties with spaces of tensor distributions in the sense of L. Schwartz. We thereby…
We consider examples of the $\mathbb H$-type groups with the natural horizontal distribution generated by the commutation relations of the group. In the contrast with the previous studies we furnish the horizontal distribution with the…
We survey the geometry of Lagrange and Finsler spaces and discuss the issues related to the definition of curvature of nonholonomic manifolds enabled with nonlinear connection structure. It is proved that any commutative Riemannian geometry…
We briefly review ideas about ``noncommutativity of space-time'' and approaches toward a corresponding theory of gravity.
The third modification of the space-time geometry is considered. (The first modification is the spacial relativity, the second one is the general relativity.) After the third modification of the space-time geometry the motion of free…
We study the Hamilton formalism for Connes-Lott models, i.e., for Yang-Mills theory in non-commutative geometry. The starting point is an associative $*$-algebra $\cA$ which is of the form $\cA=C(I,\cAs)$ where $\cAs$ is itself a…
We review the noncommutative approach to the standard model. We start with the introduction if the mathematical concepts necessary for the definition of noncommutative spaces, and manifold in particular. This defines the framework of…
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 investigate the geode and some of its generalizations from the point of view on noncommutative symmetric functions.
This informal introduction is an extended version of a three hours lecture given at the 6th Peyresq meeting ``Integrable systems and quantum field theory''. In this lecture, we make an overview of some of the mathematical results which…
In this work, Einstein's view of geometry as physical geometry is taken into account in the analysis of diverse issues related to the notions of inertial motion and inertial reference frame. Einstein's physical geometry enables a…

A construction of conservation laws for $\sigma$-models in two dimensions is generalized in the framework of noncommutative geometry of commutative algebras. This is done by replacing the ordinary calculus of differential forms with other…
