Abstract

We consider the θ\theta-deformed quantum three sphere Sθ3S^3_\theta and study its Chern--Simons theory from a spectral point of view. We first construct a spectral triple on Sθ3S^3_\theta as a generalization of the Dirac geometry on S3S^3 . Since the choice of Dirac operator is not unique, we give two more natural spectral triples on Sθ3S^3_\theta related to the standard round metric. We then compute the Chern--Simons action with respect to the three spectral triples, it turns out that it is not a topological invariant, that is, it depends on the choice of Dirac operators.
