In this paper, we derive some spectral (0,4)-tensor functionals by four one-forms and the Dirac operator and the noncommutative residue on even-dimensional compact spin manifolds without boundary. Then, we extend these spectral (0,4)-tensor…
A detailed study is made of the noncommutative geometry of $R^3_q$, the quantum space covariant under the quantum group $SO_q(3)$. For each of its two $SO_q(3)$-covariant differential calculi we find its metric, the corresponding frame and…
We argue that the spectrum of the QCD Dirac operator near zero virtuality can be described by random matrix theory. As in the case of classical random matrix ensembles of Dyson we have three distinct classes: the chiral orthogonal ensemble…
This paper extends the notion of a spectral triple to a relative spectral triple, an unbounded analogue of a relative Fredholm module for an ideal $J\triangleleft A$. Examples include manifolds with boundary, manifolds with conical…
The quantum disc is used to define a noncommutative analogue of a dense coordinate chart and of left-invariant vector fields on quantum SU(2). This yields two twisted Dirac operators for different twists that are related by a gauge…
In this note, we consider the Dirac operator $D$ on a Riemannian symmetric space $M$ of noncompact type. Using representation theory we show that $D$ has point spectrum iff the $\hat A$-genus of its compact dual does not vanish. In this…
The Dirac equation in a curved spacetime depends on a field of coefficients (essentially the Dirac matrices), for which a continuum of different choices are possible. We study the conditions under which a change of the coefficient fields…
The Dirac equation in spherically symmetric fields is separated in two different tetrad frames. One is the standard cartesian (fixed) frame and the second one is the diagonal (rotating) frame. After separating variables in the Dirac…
We study the quantum sphere $C_q[S^2]$ as a quantum Riemannian manifold in the quantum frame bundle approach. We exhibit its 2-dimensional cotangent bundle as a direct sum $\Omega^{0,1}\oplus\Omega^{1,0}$ in a double complex. We find the…
We formulate a quantum group analogue of the group of orinetation-preserving Riemannian isometries of a compact Riemannian spin manifold, more generally, of a (possibly $R$-twisted in the sense of a paper of one of the authors, and of…
We describe an approach to the noncommutative instantons on the 4-sphere based on quantum group theory. We quantize the Hopf bundle S^7 --> S^4 making use of the concept of quantum coisotropic subgroups. The analysis of the semiclassical…
We review recent progress in the analytic study of random matrix models suggested by noncommutative geometry. One considers fuzzy spectral triples where the space of possible Dirac operators is assigned a probability distribution. These…
We introduce a \emph{q}-differential operator adapted to \emph{q}-spinor variables, establishing a corresponding \emph{q}-spinor chain rule and defining both standard and Dirac-type \emph{q}-differential operators. Integral formulas in…
We propose an ansatz for the commutative canonical spin_c Dirac operator on CP^2 in a global geometric approach using the right invariant (left action-) induced vector fields from SU(3). This ansatz is suitable for noncommutative…
We apply Dirac's square root idea to constraints for embedded 4-geometries swept by a 3-dimensional membrane. The resulting Dirac-like equation is then analyzed for general coordinates as well as for the case of a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker…
A representation of the Lorentz group is given in terms of 4 X 4 matrices defined over a simple non-division algebra. The transformation properties of the corresponding four component spinor are studied, and shown to be equivalent to the…
The odd dimensional quantum sphere $S_q^{2\ell+1}$ is a homogeneous space for the quantum group $SU_q(\ell+1)$. A generic equivariant spectral triple for $S_q^{2\ell+1}$ on its $L_2$ space was constructed by Chakraborty & Pal. We prove…
This paper presents a geometric and analytic derivation of Dirac-Dunkl operators as symmetry reductions of the flat Dirac operator on Euclidean space. Starting from the standard Dirac operator, we restrict to a fundamental Weyl chamber of a…
In this letter we derive a deformed Dirac equation invariant under the k-Poincare` quantum algebra. A peculiar feature is that the square of the k-Dirac operator is related to the second Casimir (the k-deformed squared Pauli-Lubanski…
The main issues of the spectral theory of Dirac operators are presented, namely: transformation operators, asymptotics of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions, description of symmetric and self-adjoint operators in Hilbert space, expansion in…
