A canonical trace associated with certain spectral triples.
We propose a new construction of characteristic classes for noncommutative algebraic principal bundles (Hopf-Galois extensions) with values in Hochschild and cyclic homology.
It is proven that every flat connection or covariant derivative ∇ on a left A-module M (with respect to the universal differential calculus) induces a right A-module structure on M so that ∇ is a bimodule connection on M or M is a flat differentiable bimodule. Similarly a flat hom-connection on a right A-module M induces a compatible left A-action.
A new Jordanian quantum complex 4-sphere together with an instanton-type idempotent is obtained as a suspension of the Jordanian quantum group .
This survey of the work of the author with several collaborators presents the way groupoids appear and can be used in index theory. We define the general tools, and apply them to the case of manifolds with corners, ending with a topological index theorem.
Using principles of quantum symmetries we derive the algebraic part of the real spectral triple data for the standard Podleś quantum sphere: equivariant representation, chiral grading γ, reality structure J and the Dirac operator D, which has bounded commutators with the elements of the algebra and satisfies the first order condition.
We present the review of noncommutative symmetries applied to Connes' formulation of spectral triples. We introduce the notion of equivariant spectral triples with Hopf algebras as isometries of noncommutative manifolds, relate it to other elements of theory (equivariant K-theory, homology, equivariant differential algebras) and provide several examples of spectral triples with their isometries: isospectral (twisted) deformations (including noncommutative torus) and finite spectral triples.
We consider two spectral triples related to the Kronecker foliation. The corresponding generalized Dirac operators are constructed from first and second order signature operators. Furthermore, we consider the differential calculi corresponding to these spectral triples. In one case, the calculus has a description in terms of generators and relations, in the other case it is an "almost free" calculus.
