We start from a noncompact Lie algebra isomorphic to the Dirac algebra and relate this Lie algebra in a brief review to low energy hadron physics described by the compact group SU(4). This step permits an overall physical identification of…
Choosing the appropriate geometry in which to express the equations of fundamental physics can have a determinant effect on the simplicity of those equations and on the way they are perceived. The point of departure in this paper is the…
We describe noncommutative geometric aspects of twisted deformations, in particular of the spheres in Connes and Landi [8] and in Connes and Dubois Violette [7], by using the differential and integral calculus on these spaces that is…
The development of Noncommutative Geometry is creating a reworking and new possibilities in physics. This paper identifies some of the commutation and derivation structures that arise in particle and field interactions and fundamental…
Any finite-dimensional commutative (associative) graded algebra with all nonzero homogeneous subspaces one-dimensional is defined by a symmetric coefficient matrix. This algebraic structure gives a basic kind of $A$-graded algebras…
This is an extended version of a communication made at the international conference ``Noncommutative Geometry and Physics'' held at Orsay in april 2007. In this proceeding, we make a review of some noncommutative constructions connected to…
We consider a four-dimensional space-time supplemented by two discrete points assigned to a $Z_2$ algebraic structure and develop the formalism of noncommutative geometry. By setting up a generalised vielbein, we study the metric structure.…
We systematically extend the elementary differential and Riemannian geometry of classical $\mathrm{U}(1)$-gauge theory to the noncommutative setting by combining recent advances in noncommutative Riemannian geometry with the theory of…
We study Dirac operators on resolutions of Riemannian orbifolds by developing a uniform elliptic theory. The key idea is to view orbifolds as conically fibred singular (CFS) spaces and resolve them by gluing asymptotically conical…
I give a summary review of the research program using noncommutative geometry as a framework to determine the structure of space-time. Classification of finite noncommutative spaces under few assumptions reveals why nature chose the…
This paper is a very brief and gentle introduction to non-commutative geometry geared primarily towards physicists and geometers. It starts with a brief historical description of the motivation for non-commutative geometry and then goes on…
Non-commutative electrodynamics obtained through the Seiberg-Witten map ceases to have equivalent action-level and equation-level realizations once fixed external currents are introduced, and in the action-level construction associated with…
We study perturbations of the flat geometry of the noncommutative two-dimensional torus T^2_\theta (with irrational \theta). They are described by spectral triples (A_\theta, \H, D), with the Dirac operator D, which is a differential…
Geometric properties of operators of quantum Dirac constraints and physical observables are studied in semiclassical theory of generic constrained systems. The invariance transformations of the classical theory -- contact canonical…
Gauge fields have a natural metric interpretation in terms of horizontal distance. The latest, also called Carnot-Caratheodory or subriemannian distance, is by definition the length of the shortest horizontal path between points, that is to…
Connes' noncommutative approach to the standard model of electromagnetic, weak and strong forces is sketched as well as its unification with general relativity.
This is a survey article of geometric properties of noncommutative symmetric spaces of measurable operators $E(\mathcal{M},\tau)$, where $\mathcal{M}$ is a semifinite von Neumann algebra with a faithful, normal, semifinite trace $\tau$, and…
Earlier we have shown that interacting electron-positron and electromagnetic fields can be considered as a certain microscopic distortion of pseudo-Euclidean properties of the Minkovsky 4-space-time. The known Dirac and Maxwell equations…
It is shown that the differential geometry of space-time, can be expressed in terms of the algebra of operators on a bundle of Hilbert spaces. The price for this is that the algebra of smooth functions on space-time has to be made…
The notion of quantum symmetry has recently been extended to include reduced-dimensional transformations and algebraic structures beyond groups. Such generalized symmetries lead to exotic phases of matter and excitations that defy Landau's…
