Abstract
We study details of geometry of noncommutative de Sitter space: we determine the Riemann and Ricci curvature tensors, the energy and the Laplacian. We find, in particular, that fuzzy de Sitter space is an Einstein space, . The Laplacian, defined in the noncommutative frame formalism, is not hermitian and gives nonunitary evolution. When symmetrically ordered, it has the usual quadratic form (when acting on functions in representation space, ): we find its eigenstates and discuss its spectrum. This result is a first step in a study of the scalar field Laplacian, , and its propagator.
