Dirac Operators and Spectral Geometry

Discrete spectral triples converging to dirac operators

We exhibit a series of discrete spectral triples converging to the canonical spectral triple of a finite dimensional manifold. Thus we bypass the non-go theorem of Gökeler and Schücker. Sort of counterexample. In [2] Connes gave the most general example of non commutative manifolds defined from finite spectral triples, and such discrete manifolds were classified independently by Krajewsky [5, 6...

Spectral Boundary Conditions for Generalizations of Laplace and Dirac Operators

Spectral boundary conditions for Laplace-type operators on a compact manifold X with boundary are partly Dirichlet, partly (oblique) Neumann conditions, where the partitioning is provided by a pseudodifferential projection; they have an interest in string and brane theory. Relying on pseudodifferential methods, we give sufficient conditions for the existence of the associated resolvent and heat...

Spectral Functionals, Nonholonomic Dirac Operators, and Noncommutative Ricci Flows

We formulate a noncommutative generalization of the Ricci flow theory in the framework of spectral action approach to noncommutative geometry. Grisha Perelman’s functionals are generated as commutative versions of certain spectral functionals defined by nonholonomic Dirac operators and corresponding spectral triples. We derive the formulas for spectral averaged energy and entropy functionals an...
