Abstract

In this note, we present a new way to associate a spectral triple to the noncommutative CC^*-algebra C(Λ)C^*(\Lambda) of a strongly connected finite higher-rank graph Λ\Lambda. We generalize a spectral triple of Consani and Marcolli from Cuntz-Krieger algebras to higher-rank graph CC^*-algebras C(Λ)C^*(\Lambda), and we prove that these spectral triples are intimately connected to the wavelet decomposition of the infinite path space of Λ\Lambda which was introduced by Farsi, Gillaspy, Kang, and Packer in 2015. In particular, we prove that the wavelet decomposition of Farsi et al. describes the eigenspaces of the Dirac operator of this spectral triple.
