$κ$-deformation, affine group and spectral triples

A regular spectral triple is proposed for a two-dimensional $κ$-deformation. It is based on the naturally associated affine group $G$, a smooth subalgebra of $C^*(G)$, and an operator $\caD$ defined by two derivations on this subalgebra. While $\caD$ has metric dimension two, the spectral dimension of the triple is one. This bypasses an obstruction described in \cite{IochMassSchu11a} on existence of finitely-summable spectral triples for a compactified $κ$-deformation.

$κ$-Deformation and Spectral Triples

The aim of the paper is to answer the following question: does $κ$-deformation fit into the framework of noncommutative geometry in the sense of spectral triples? Using a compactification of time, we get a discrete version of $κ$-Minkowski deformation via $C^*$-algebras of groups. The dynamical system of the underlying groups (including some Baumslag--Solitar groups) is used in order to construct \emph{finitely summable} spectral triples. This allows to bypass an obstruction to finite-summability appearing when using the common regular representation.

Spectral action on SU_q(2)

The spectral action on the equivariant real spectral triple over \A(SU_q(2)) is computed explicitly. Properties of the differential calculus arising from the Dirac operator are studied and the results are compared to the commutative case of the sphere S^3.

Spectral action on noncommutative torus

The spectral action on noncommutative torus is obtained, using a Chamseddine--Connes formula via computations of zeta functions. The importance of a Diophantine condition is outlined. Several results on holomorphic continuation of series of holomorphic functions are obtained in this context.

Generalized kappa-Deformations and Deformed Relativistic Scalar Fields on Noncommutative Minkowski Space

We describe the generalized kappa-deformations of D=4 relativistic symmetries with finite masslike deformation parameter kappa and an arbitrary direction in kappa-deformed Minkowski space being noncommutative. The corresponding bicovariant differential calculi on kappa-deformed Minkowski spaces are considered. Two distinguished cases are discussed: 5D noncommutative differential calculus (kappa-deformation in time-like or space-like direction), and 4D noncommutative differential calculus having the classical dimension (noncommutative kappa-deformation in light-like direction). We introduce also left and right vector fields acting on functions of noncommutative Minkowski coordinates, and describe the noncommutative differential realizations of kappa-deformed Poincare algebra. The kappa-deformed Klein-Gordon field on noncommutative Minkowski space with noncommutative time (standard kappa-deformation) as well as noncommutative null line (light-like kappa-deformation) are discussed. Following our earlier proposal (see {1,2]) we introduce an equivalent framework replacing the local noncommutative field theory by the nonlocal commutative description with suitable nonlocal star product multiplication rules. The modification of Pauli--Jordan commutator function is described and the kappa-dependence of its light-cone behaviour in coordinate space is explicitly given. The problem with the kappa-deformed energy- momentum conservation law is recalled.

Deformations of Differential Calculi

It has been suggested that quantum fluctuations of the gravitational field could give rise in the lowest approximation to an effective noncommutative version of Kaluza-Klein theory which has as extra hidden structure a noncommutative geometry. It would seem however from the Standard Model, at least as far as the weak interactions are concerned, that a double-sheeted structure is the phenomenologically appropriate one at present accelerator energies. We examine here to what extent this latter structure can be considered as a singular limit of the former.

Noncommutative Geometry of Finite Groups

A finite set can be supplied with a group structure which can then be used to select (classes of) differential calculi on it via the notions of left-, right- and bicovariance. A corresponding framework has been developed by Woronowicz, more generally for Hopf algebras including quantum groups. A differential calculus is regarded as the most basic structure needed for the introduction of further geometric notions like linear connections and, moreover, for the formulation of field theories and dynamics on finite sets. Associated with each bicovariant first order differential calculus on a finite group is a braid operator which plays an important role for the construction of distinguished geometric structures. For a covariant calculus, there are notions of invariance for linear connections and tensors. All these concepts are explored for finite groups and illustrated with examples. Some results are formulated more generally for arbitrary associative (Hopf) algebras. In particular, the problem of extension of a connection on a bimodule (over an associative algebra) to tensor products is investigated, leading to the class of `extensible connections'. It is shown that invariance properties of an extensible connection on a bimodule over a Hopf algebra are carried over to the extension. Furthermore, an invariance property of a connection is also shared by a `dual connection' which exists on the dual bimodule (as defined in this work).
