A Super Version of the Connes-Moscovici Hopf Algebra

We define a super version of the Connes-Moscovici Hopf algebra, $\mathcal{H}_1$. For that, we consider the supergroup $G^s=Diff^+(\mathbb{R}^{1,1})$ of orientation preserving diffeomorphisms of the superline $\mathbb{R}^{1,1}$ and define two (super) subgroups $G^s_1$ and $G^s_2$ of $G^s$ where $G^s_1$ is the supergroup of affine transformations. The super Hopf algebra $\mathcal{H} ^s_1$ is defined as a certain bicrossproduct super Hopf algebra of the super Hopf algebras attached to $G^s_1$ and $G^s_2$. We also give an explicit description of $\mathcal{H} ^s_1$ in terms of generators and relations.

The Gauss-Bonnet Theorem for Noncommutative Two Tori With a General Conformal Structure

In this paper we give a proof of the Gauss-Bonnet theorem of Connes and Tretkoff for noncommutative two tori $\mathbb{T}_θ^2$ equipped with an arbitrary translation invariant complex structure. More precisely, we show that for any complex number $τ$ in the upper half plane, representing the conformal class of a metric on $\mathbb{T}_θ^2$, and a Weyl factor given by a positive invertible element $k \in C^{\infty}(\mathbb{T}_θ^2)$, the value at the origin, $ζ(0)$, of the spectral zeta function of the Laplacian $\triangle'$ attached to $(\mathbb{T}_θ^2, τ, k)$ is independent of $τ$ and $k$.

A Short Survey of Cyclic Cohomology

This is a short survey of some aspects of Alain Connes' contributions to cyclic cohomology theory in the course of his work on noncommutative geometry over the past 30 years.

The homogeneous coordinate ring of the quantum projective plane

We define holomorphic structures on canonical line bundles on the quantum projective plane. The space of holomorphic sections of these line bundles will determine the quantum homogeneous coordinate ring of $\qp^2_q$. We also show that the holomorphic structure of $\qp^2_q$ is naturally represented by a twisted positive Hochschild 4-cocycle.

Holomorphic structures on the quantum projective line

We show that much of the structure of the 2-sphere as a complex curve survives the q-deformation and has natural generalizations to the quantum 2-sphere - which, with additional structures, we identify with the quantum projective line. Notably among these is the identification of a quantum homogeneous coordinate ring with the coordinate ring of the quantum plane. In parallel with the fact that positive Hochschild cocycles on the algebra of smooth functions on a compact oriented 2-dimensional manifold encode the information for complex structures on the surface, we formulate a notion of twisted positivity for twisted Hochschild and cyclic cocycles and exhibit an explicit twisted positive Hochschild cocycle for the complex structure on the sphere.

Hopf cyclic cohomology in braided monoidal categories

We extend the formalism of Hopf cyclic cohomology to the context of braided categories. For a Hopf algebra in a braided monoidal abelian category we introduce the notion of stable anti-Yetter-Drinfeld module. We associate a para-cocyclic and a cocyclic object to a braided Hopf algebra endowed with a braided modular pair in involution in the sense of Connes and Moscovici. When the braiding is symmetric the full formalism of Hopf cyclic cohomology with coefficients can be extended to our categorical setting.

Lectures on Noncommutative Geometry

This text is an introduction to a few selected areas of Alain Connes' noncommutative geometry written for the volume of the school/conference "Noncommutative Geometry 2005" held at IPM Tehran. It is an expanded version of my lectures which was directed at graduate students and novice in the subject.

Bivariant Hopf cyclic cohomology

For module algebras and module coalgebras over an arbitrary bialgebra, we define two types of bivariant cyclic cohomology groups called bivariant Hopf cyclic cohomology and bivariant equivariant cyclic cohomology. These groups are defined through an extension of Connes' cyclic category $Λ$. We show that, in the case of module coalgebras, bivariant Hopf cyclic cohomology specializes to Hopf cyclic cohomology of Connes and Moscovici and its dual version by fixing either one of the variables as the ground field. We also prove an appropriate version of Morita invariance for both of these theories.

Hopf Modules and Noncommutative Differential Geometry

We define a new algebra of noncommutative differential forms for any Hopf algebra with an invertible antipode. We prove that there is a one to one correspondence between anti-Yetter-Drinfeld modules, which serve as coefficients for the Hopf cyclic (co)homology, and modules which admit a flat connection with respect to our differential calculus. Thus we show that these coefficient modules can be regarded as ``flat bundles'' in the sense of Connes' noncommutative differential geometry.

Excision in Hopf cyclic homology

In this paper we show that both variants of the Hopf cyclic homology has excision under some natural homological conditions on the objects and the coefficient module.

Cup Products in Hopf-Cyclic Cohomology

We construct cup products of two different kinds for Hopf-cyclic cohomology. When the Hopf algebra reduces to the ground field our first cup product reduces to Connes' cup product in ordinary cyclic cohomology. The second cup product generalizes Connes-Moscovici's characteristic map for actions of Hopf algebras on algebras.

Stable anti-Yetter-Drinfeld modules

We define and study a class of entwined modules (stable anti-Yetter-Drinfeld modules) that serve as coefficients for the Hopf-cyclic homology and cohomology. In particular, we explain their relationship with Yetter-Drinfeld modules and Drinfeld doubles. Among sources of examples of stable anti-Yetter-Drinfeld modules, we find Hopf-Galois extensions with a flipped version of the Miyashita-Ulbrich action.

Cyclic Homology of DG Coalgebras and a Kuenneth Formula

In this note we extend the cyclic homology functor, and in particular the periodic cyclic homology, to the category of DG (= differential graded) coalgebras. We are partly motivated by the question of products and coproducts in the cyclic homology of algebras, pioneered by A.Connes. As an application we show how one can start from the classical shuffle map in homological algebra and algebraic topology, interpreted by Husemoller, Moore and Stasheff as a morphism of DG coalgebras, and build a theory of products and coproducts in periodic and negative cyclic homology. One of the key ingredients is the idea of X-complex due to Cuntz and Quillen, suitably extended to DG colagebras.

On Cyclic Homology of A_{\infty} Algebras

We present an approach to cyclic homology of A_{\infty} algebras. Our main technical tool is the concept of X-complex due to Cuntz and Quillen. This, in particular, enables us to compute the periodic cyclic homology of an A_{\infty} algebra in terms of the periodic cyclic homology of its homology.
