This paper contains the first written exposition of some ideas (announced in a previous survey) on an approach to quantum gravity based on Tomita-Takesaki modular theory and A. Connes non-commutative geometry aiming at the reconstruction of…
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…
This PhD thesis aims at combining the framework of noncommutative geometry and supersymmetry. A particular class of non-commutative geometries called almost-commutative geometries can be used to describe particle theories. This thesis…
We report on some recent work on deformation of spaces, notably deformation of spheres, describing two classes of examples. The first class of examples consists of noncommutative manifolds associated with the so called $\theta$-deformations…
We survey some aspects of the theory of noncommutative manifolds focusing on the noncommutative analogs of two-dimensional tori and low-dimensional spheres. We are particularly interested in those aspects of the theory that link the…
A large class of noncommutative spherical manifolds was obtained recently from cohomology considerations. A one-parameter family of twisted 3-spheres was discovered by Connes and Landi, and later generalized to a three-parameter family by…
We review a gravitational model based on noncommutative geometry and the spectral action principle. The space-time geometry is described by the tensor product of a four-dimensional Riemanian manifold by a discrete noncommutative space…
Non-anticommutative Grassmann coordinates in four-dimensional twist-deformed N=1 Euclidean superspace are decomposed into geometrical ones and quantum shift operators. This decomposition leads to the mapping from the commutative to the…
A construction of conservation laws for $\sigma$-models in two dimensions is generalized in the framework of noncommutative geometry of commutative algebras. This is done by replacing the ordinary calculus of differential forms with other…
We illustrate an isomorphic representation of the observable algebra for quantum mechanics in terms of the functions on the projective Hilbert space, and its Hilbert space analog, with a noncommutative product in terms of explicit…
We describe basic concepts of noncommutative geometry and a general construction extending the familiar duality between ordinary spaces and commutative algebras to a duality between Quotient spaces and Noncommutative algebras. Basic tools…
This is a brief review where some basic elements of non-commutative geometry are given. The rules and ingredients that enter in the construction of the standard model and grand unification models in non-commutative geometry are summarized.…
In this paper we use considerations of non-commutative geometry to deduce a model for QCD interactions. The model also explains within the same theoretical framework hitherto purely phenomenological characteristics of the quarks like their…
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…
Observable properties of a classical physical system can be modelled deterministically as functions from the space of pure states to outcomes; dually, states can be modelled as functions from the algebra of observables to outcomes. The…
We introduce Hopf algebroid covariance on Woronowicz's differential calculus. Using it, we develop quite a general framework of noncommutative complex geometry that subsumes the one in [2]. We present transverse complex and K\"ahler…
These lectures notes are an intoduction for physicists to several ideas and applications of noncommutative geometry. The necessary mathematical tools are presented in a way which we feel should be accessible to physicists. We illustrate…
In a recent paper, algebraic descriptions for all non-relativistic spins were derived by elementary means directly from the Lie algebra $\specialorthogonalliealgebra{3}$, and a connection between spin and the geometry of Euclidean…
We illustrate the various ways in which the algebraic framework of noncommutative geometry naturally captures the short-distance spacetime properties of string theory. We describe the noncommutative spacetime constructed from a vertex…
Around 1980 Connes extended the notions of geometry to the non-commutative setting. Since then {\it non-commutative geometry} has turned into a very active area of mathematical research. As a first non-trivial example of a non-commutative…
