C*algebras and differential geometry | | Alain Connes

15 Dec 2000 | | Journal: | Compt.Rend.Acad.Sci.(Ser.I Math.) A290 (1980) 599-604 | | Subject: | hep-th | | Abstract: | This is the translation to appear in the "SUPERSYMMETRY 2000 - Encyclopaedic Dictionary" of the original paper, published in March 1980, (C.R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. A-B, 290, 1980) in which basic notions of noncommutative geometry were introduced and applied to noncommutative tori. These include connections on finite projective modules, their curvature, and the Chern character. Finite projective modules on the noncommutative two-torus $ Tb^2_{ heta}$ were realized as Schwartz spaces of vector valued functions on $Rb$. Explicit constant curvature connections were constructed and a basic integrality phenomenon of the total curvature was displayed. The pseudo-differential calculus and the Atiyah-Singer index theorems were extended to Lie group actions on $C^*$ algebras and used to explain the above integrality of the total curvature by an index formula for finite difference-differential operators on the line. Recent interest in the hep-th literature for basic notions of noncommutative geometry in the case of noncommutative tori (cf for instance hep-th/0012145 for an excellent review) prompted us to make the English translation of the original paper available. | | Source: | arXiv, hep-th/0101093 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
