Cette these etudie l'aspect metrique de la geometrie non commutative a travers la formulation de Connes de la distance entre etats d'une algebre. Sont etudies des exemples d'espaces finis et le modele standard ou le champs de Higgs…
We investigate whether the identification between Connes' spectral distance in noncommutative geometry and the Monge-Kantorovich distance of order 1 in the theory of optimal transport - that has been pointed out by Rieffel in the…
Quantum groups and quantum homogeneous spaces - developed by several authors since the 80's - provide a large class of examples of algebras which for many reasons we interpret as `coordinate algebras' over noncommutative spaces. This…
We discuss the relation between the Wasserstein distance of order 1 between probability distributions on a metric space, arising in the study of Monge-Kantorovich transport problem, and the spectral distance of noncommutative geometry.…
In noncommutative geometry, Connes's spectral distance is an extended metric on the state space of a C*-algebra generalizing Kantorovich's dual formula of the Wasserstein distance of order 1 from optimal transport. It is expressed as a…
Notes from a course given at Oujda university, Morocco, october 2002 - march 2003 within the support of a fellowship from the Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie. These notes present a brief introduction to Connes' non commutative…
We continue the study of fuzzy geometries inside Connes' spectral formalism and their relation to multimatrix models. In this companion paper to [arXiv 2007:10914, Ann. Henri Poincar\'e] we propose a gauge theory setting based on…
This is a compilation of some well known propositions of Alain Connes concerning the use of noncommutative geometry in mathematical physics.
Our aim in this review article is to present the applications of Connes' noncommutative geometry to elementary particle physics. Whereas the existing literature is mostly focused on a mathematical audience, in this article we introduce the…
For almost twenty years, a search for a Lorentzian version of the well-known Connes' distance formula has been undertaken. Several authors have contributed to this search, providing important milestones, and the time has now come to put…
This PhD thesis aims at describing the applications of noncommutative geometry to particle physics and quantum field theory. It includes a brief survey of the basic principles and definitions of noncommutative geometry such as spectral…
We show that when non-commutative quantum mechanics is formulated on the Hilbert space of Hilbert-Schmidt operators (referred to as quantum Hilbert space) acting on a classical configuration space, spectral triplets as introduced by Connes…
This contribution is an introduction to the metric aspect of noncommutative geometry, with emphasize on the Moyal plane. Starting by questioning "how to define a standard meter in a space whose coordinates no longer commute?", we list…
We give a brief overview on the relation between Connes spectral distance in noncommutative geometry and the Wasserstein distance of order 1 in optimal transport. We first recall how these two distances coincide on the space of probability…
This thesis concerns the research on a Lorentzian generalization of Alain Connes' noncommutative geometry. In the first chapter, we present an introduction to noncommutative geometry within the context of unification theories. The second…
In this paper, we study the properties of Connes spectral distances between quantum states under unitary transformations. We mainly focus on spectral triples with matrix algebras acting on finite dimensional Hilbert spaces via some linear…
This paper is devoted to the study of the Monge-Kantorovich theory of optimal mass transport and its applications, in the special case of one-dimensional and circular distributions. More precisely, we study the Monge-Kantorovich distances…
We give an overview on the metric aspect of noncommutative geometry, especially the metric interpretation of gauge fields via the process of "fluctuation of the metric". Connes' distance formula associates to a gauge field on a bundle P…
Connes' non-commutative geometry (NCG) is a generalization of Riemannian geometry that is particularly apt for expressing the standard model of particle physics coupled to Einstein gravity. In a previous paper, we suggested a reformulation…
Noncommutative geometry is based on an idea that an associative algebra can be regarded as "an algebra of functions on a noncommutative space". The major contribution to noncommutative geometry was made by A. Connes, who, in particular,…
