Abstract
Using the Levi-Civita connection on the noncommutative differential one-forms of a spectral triple , we define the full Riemann curvature tensor, the Ricci curvature tensor and scalar curvature. We give a definition of Dirac spectral triples and derive a general Weitzenbock formula for them. We apply these tools to -deformations of compact Riemannian manifolds. We show that the Riemann and Ricci tensors transform naturally under -deformation, whereas the connection Laplacian, Clifford representation of the curvature and the scalar curvature are all invariant under deformation.
