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…
Recent development in noncommutative geometry generalization of gauge theory is reviewed. The mathematical apparatus is reduced to minimum in order to allow the non-mathematically oriented physicists to follow the development in the…
These are expanded lecture notes of a mini-course whose objectives were to introduce the basic concepts, constructions and techniques of noncommutative geometry, as well as their uses as a framework for modelling quantum spacetime. Key…
The restrictions imposed on the strong force in the `non-commutative standard model' are examined. It is concluded that given the framework of non-commutative geometry and assuming the electroweak sector of the standard model many details…
Noncommutative geometry applied to the standard model of electroweak and strong interactions was shown to produce fuzzy relations among masses and gauge couplings. We refine these relations and show then that they are exhaustive.
Noncommutative geometry has become popular mathematics for describing speculative physics beyond the Standard Model. Noncommutative QED has long been known to fit within the framework of the Standard-Model Extension (SME). We argue in this…
I try to assess the weak and strong points of the standard model of electro-magnetic, weak and strong forces, how it can be derived from general relativity by generalizing Riemannian to noncommutative geometry and what post- and predictions…
We discuss a general method of revealing both space-space and space-time noncommuting structures in various models in particle mechanics exhibiting reparametrisation symmetry. Starting from the commuting algebra in the conventional gauge,…
An introduction is given to some selected aspects of noncommutative geometry. Simple examples in this context are provided by finite sets and lattices. As an application, it is explained how the nonlinear Toda lattice and a discrete time…

In this review we present some of the fundamental mathematical structures which permit to define noncommutative gauge field theories. In particular, we emphasize the theory of noncommutative connections, with the notions of curvatures and…
In this paper I discuss connections between the noncommutative geometry approach to the standard model on one side, and the internal space coming from strings on the other. The standard model in noncommutative geometry is described via the…
The calculation of the standard model Lagrangian of classical field theory within the framework of noncommutative geometry is sketched using a variant with 18 parameters. Improvements compared with the traditional formulation are contrasted…
We review the construction of particle physics models in the framework of non-commutative geometry. We first give simple examples, and then progress to outline the Connes-Lott construction of the standard Weinberg-Salam model and our…
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…
We investigate the geometric interpretation of the Standard Model based on noncommutative geometry. Neglecting the $S_0$-reality symmetry one may introduce leptoquarks into the model. We give a detailed discussion of the consequences (both…
A summary of noncommutative spectral geometry as an approach to unification is presented. The role of the doubling of the algebra, the seeds of quantization and some cosmological implications are briefly discussed.
This is a brief description of the classical part of the Standard Model of particles and interactions, using the language of vector bundles over the spacetime and operations on them.
