Noncommutative Geometry
Time: 14:00
Speaker: Ali Moatadelro (Western)
Title: "Metric aspects of noncommutative geometry VI"
Room: MC 106

Abstract: My aim was to explain four formulas of Riemannian geometry due to Alain Connes which have analogues in NCG. So far we discussed a dual version formula of geodesic distance on a manifold which is stated in terms of algebra of smooth functions, Dirac operator in the Hilbert space of spinors. We also talked about Weyl's formula which gives us the integration against the volume form in this set up. Next we introduced Connes' differential forms and their inner product to bring in Yang-Mills action. In the upcoming talk, I shall try to reach the third formula which states the relation between Connes differential graded algebra and de Rham algebra of differential forms on the manifold.
