On a closed 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold, we give a lower bound for the square of the first eigenvalue of the Yamabe operator in terms of the total Branson's Q-curvature. As a consequence, if the manifold is spin, we relate the first…
We construct a Dirac operator on the quantum sphere $S^2_q$ which is covariant under the action of $SU_q(2)$. It reduces to Watamuras' Dirac operator on the fuzzy sphere when $q\to 1$. We argue that our Dirac operator may be useful in…
We give a construction of a Dirac operator on a quantum group based on any simple Lie algebra of classical type. The Dirac operator is an element in the vector space $U_q(\g) \otimes \mathrm{cl}_q(\g)$ where the second tensor factor is a…
Definition of Dirac operators on the quantum group $SU_{q}(2)$ and the quantum sphere $S^{2}_{q \mu}$ are discussed. In both cases similar $SU_{q}(2)$-invariant form is obtained. It is connected with corresponding Laplace operators.
We investigate the spin $1/2$ fermions on quantum two spheres. It is shown that the wave functions of fermions and a Dirac Operator on quantum two spheres can be constructed in a manifestly covariant way under the quantum group $SU(2)_q$.…
We construct wave functions and Dirac operator of spin $1/2$ fermions on quantum four-spheres. The construction can be achieved by the q-deformed differential calculus which is manifestly $SO(5)_q$ covariant. We evaluate the engenvalue of…
A detailed study is made of the noncommutative geometry of $R^3_q$, the quantum space covariant under the quantum group $SO_q(3)$. For each of its two $SO_q(3)$-covariant differential calculi we find its metric, the corresponding frame and…
We construct noncommutative `Riemannian manifold' structures on dual quasitriangular Hopf algebras such as $C_q[SU_2]$ with its standard bicovariant differential calculus, using the quantum frame bundle formalism introduced previously. The…
A covariant - tensor method for $SU(2)_{q}$ is described. This tensor method is used to calculate q - deformed Clebsch - Gordan coefficients. The connection with covariant oscillators and irreducible tensor operators is established. This…
For the q-deformation G_q, 0<q<1, of any simply connected simple compact Lie group G we construct an equivariant spectral triple which is an isospectral deformation of that defined by the Dirac operator D on G. Our quantum Dirac operator…
The quantum disc is used to define a noncommutative analogue of a dense coordinate chart and of left-invariant vector fields on quantum SU(2). This yields two twisted Dirac operators for different twists that are related by a gauge…
Assume that the compact Riemannian spin manifold $(M^n,g)$ admits a $G$-structure with characteristic connection $\nabla$ and parallel characteristic torsion ($\nabla T=0$), and consider the Dirac operator $D^{1/3}$ corresponding to the…
We apply one of the formalisms of noncommutative geometry to $R^N_q$, the quantum space covariant under the quantum group $SO_q(N)$. Over $R^N_q$ there are two $SO_q(N)$-covariant differential calculi. For each we find a frame, a metric and…
Recent progress to construct Dirac operators and spinors on compact quantum groups is discussed. The case $SU_q(2)$ is studied carefully and the relationship between known approaches is explained. New examples are given.
We introduce a Dirac operator $D$ for the quantum group $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$, as an element of the tensor product of $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ with the Clifford algebra on two generators. We study the properties of $D$, including an analogue…
We compare the eigenvalues of the Dirac and Laplace operator on a two-dimensional torus with respect to the trivial spin structure. In particular, we compute their variation up to order 4 upon deformation of the flat metric, study the…
We derive a formula for the gravitational part of the spectral action for Dirac operators on 4-dimensional manifolds with totally anti-symmetric torsion. We find that the torsion becomes dynamical and couples to the traceless part of the…
We prove a lower bound for the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator on a compact Riemannian spin manifold depending on the scalar curvature as well as a chosen Codazzi tensor. The inequality generalizes the classical estimate from [2].
