Recently, we found the supersymmetric counterpart of the spectral triple. When we restrict the representation space to the fermionic functions of matter fields, the counterpart which we name "the triple" reduces to the original spectral…
We analyze the perturbative quantization of the spectral action in noncommutative geometry and establish its one-loop renormalizability in a generalized sense, while staying within the spectral framework of noncommutative geometry. Our…
We generalize to topologically non-trivial gauge configurations the description of the Einstein-Yang-Mills system in terms of a noncommutative manifold, as was done previously by Chamseddine and Connes. Starting with an algebra bundle and a…
We extend inner fluctuations to spectral triples that do not fulfill the first-order condition. This involves the addition of a quadratic term to the usual linear terms. We find a semi-group of inner fluctuations, which only depends on the…
The product of a non-commutative matrix spectral triple with a simple two-dimensional internal space is considered. This is interpreted as a non-commutative spacetime that contains one charged Dirac fermion and its antiparticle. The inner…
There are two notions of Yang-Mills action functional in noncommutative geometry. We show that for noncommutative n-torus both these notions agree. We also prove a structure theorem on the Hermitian structure of a finitely generated…
We derive the noncommutative Chern-Simons action induced by Dirac fermions coupled to a background gauge field, for the fundamental, antifundamental, and the adjoint representation. We discuss properties of the noncommutative Chern-Simons…
The noncommutative spectral action extends our familiar notion of commutative spaces, using the data encoded in a spectral triple on an almost commutative space. Varying a rather simple action, one can derive all of the standard model of…
We extend our sum over topologies formula to fermions. We show that fermionic fields display an instability with respect to topology fluctuations. We present some phenomenological arguments for a modification of the action in the case of…
We discuss the concept of gauge-invariant fields for non-abelian gauge theories. Infinitesimal fluctuations around a given gauge field can be split into physical and gauge fluctuations. Starting from some reference field the gauge-invariant…
We propose that the fermionic part of the action in the framework of the noncommutative description of the Standard Model is spectral, in an analogous way to the bosonic part of the action that is customary considered as being spectral. We…
We study the effective action of quantum mechanical SU(N) Yang-Mills theories with sixteen supersymmetries and N>2. We show that supersymmetry requires that the eight fermion terms in the supersymmetric completion of the $v^4$ terms be…
Quantization of the noncommutative geometric spectral action has so far been performed on the final component form of the action where all traces over the Dirac matrices and symmetry algebra are carried out. In this work, in order to…
By generalizing the Fujikawa approach, we show in the path-integral formalism: (1) how the infinitesimal variation of the fermion measure can be integrated to obtain the full anomalous chiral action; (2) how the action derived in this way…
We study renormalizability aspects of the spectral action for the Yang-Mills system on a flat 4-dimensional background manifold, focusing on its asymptotic expansion. Interpreting the latter as a higher-derivative gauge theory, a…
In this short note we review the interpretation of the spectral action for the Yang-Mills system in noncommutative geometry as a higher-derivative gauge theory, adopting an asymptotic expansion in a cutoff parameter. We recall our previous…
In this paper, we derive the five-dimensional non-Abelian $\mathcal{N}=1$ Chern-Simons action from its established definition of variation with respect to an infinitesimal deformation of the vector prepotential in a projective superspace…
Consistent Yang--Mills anomalies $\int\om_{2n-k}^{k-1}$ ($n\in\N$, $ k=1,2, \ldots ,2n$) as described collectively by Zumino's descent equations $\delta\om_{2n-k}^{k-1}+\dd\om_{2n-k-1}^{k}=0$ starting with the Chern character…
We establish renormalizability of the full spectral action for the Yang-Mills system on a flat 4-dimensional background manifold. Interpreting the spectral action as a higher-derivative gauge theory, we find that it behaves unexpectedly…
We discuss the behavior of theories of fermions coupled to Chern-Simons gauge fields with a non-abelian gauge group in three dimensions and at finite temperature. Using non-perturbative arguments and gauge invariance, and in contradiction…
