We review some aspects of the implementation of spacetime symmetries in noncommutative field theories, emphasizing their origin in string theory and how they may be used to construct theories of gravitation. The geometry of canonical…
Symmetry groups allow to transform solutions of differential equations continuously into other solutions. This property can be used for the observability analysis of infinite-dimensional systems with input and output. In this contribution,…
For a marked surface $\Sigma$ and a semisimple algebraic group $G$ of adjoint type, we study the Wilson line morphism $g_{[c]}:\mathcal{P}_{G,\Sigma} \to G$ associated with the homotopy class of an arc $c$ connecting boundary intervals of…
We analyze the $1/\theta$ and 1/N expansions of the Wilson loop averages $<W(C)>_{U_\theta (N)}$ in the two-dimensional noncommutative $U_\theta (N)$ gauge theory with the parameter of noncommutativity $\theta$. For a generic rectangular…
Linear connections are introduced on a series of noncommutative geometries which have commutative limits. Quasicommutative corrections are calculated.
Non commutative geometry is creating new possibilities for physics. Quantum spacetime geometry and post inflationary models of the universe with matter creation have an enormous range of scales of time, distance and energy in between. There…
We study a deformation of infinitesimal diffeomorphisms of a smooth manifold. The deformation is based on a general twist. This leads to a differential geometry on a noncommutative algebra of functions whose product is a star-product. The…
We study geodesics in noncommutative geometry by means of bimodule connections and completely positive maps using the Kasparov, Stinespring, Gel'fand, Naimark & Segal (KSGNS) construction. This is motivated from classical geometry, and we…
We develop the fundamentals of a new theory of convex geometry -- which we call "broken line convex geometry". This is a theory of convexity where the ambient space is the rational tropicalization of a cluster variety, as opposed to an…
This paper develops the tools of formal algebraic geometry in the setting of noncommutative manifolds, roughly ringed spaces locally modeled on the free associative algebra. We define a notion of noncommutative coordinate system, which is a…
Connes' noncommutative approach to the standard model of electromagnetic, weak and strong forces is sketched as well as its unification with general relativity.
Endomorphisms algebras can replace the concept of principal fiber bundle. Gauge theories are reformulated within this algebraic framework and further generalized to unify ordinary connections and Higgs fields. A 'noncommutative Maxwell'…
We address the treatment of gauge theories within the framework that is formed from combining the machinery of noncommutative symplectic geometry, as introduced by Kontsevich, with Costello's approach to effective gauge field theories…
We associate a noncommutative curve to a periodic, bipartite, planar dimer model with polygonal boundary. It determines the inverse Kasteleyn matrix and hence all correlations. It may be seen as a quantization of the limit shape…
We give an overview of the applications of noncommutative geometry to physics. Our focus is entirely on the conceptual ideas, rather than on the underlying technicalities. Starting historically from the Heisenberg relations, we will explain…
We reconsider the perturbative expansion of the Wilson loop in 2d noncommutative gauge theories, using an improved integration method. For the class of maximally crossed diagrams in the $\theta \to \infty$ limit we find an intriguing…
The possible role of gravity in a noncommutative geometry is investigated. Due to the Moyal *-product of fields in noncommutative geometry, it is necessary to complexify the metric tensor of gravity. We first consider the possibility of a…
In this note we discuss local gauge-invariant operators in noncommutative gauge theories. Inspired by the connection of these theories with the Matrix model, we give a simple construction of a complete set of gauge-invariant operators. We…
By combining the generalized exterior algebra of forms over a noncommutative algebra with the gauging of discrete directions and the associated Higgs fields, we consider the construction of the bosonic sector of left-right symmetric models…
We show that a large class of Euclidean extended supersymmetric lattice gauge theories constructed in [hep-lat/0302017 - hep-lat/0503039] can be regarded as compact formulations by using the polar decomposition of the complex link fields.…
