Non-Commutative Geometry| Non-Commutative Geometry |
In General > s.a. [manifolds];
holonomy; quantum
group; spectral geometry; Star
Product.
* Idea: Non-commutative
spaces are spaces with quantum group symmetry; They are based on (1) A non-commutative
algebra 
defined by
a star product which replaces the Abelian one of functions on a manifold,
with a representation on a Hilbert
space 
; (2) An exterior
differential algebra on 
(),
with d taking n-forms into (n+1)-forms; (3) Possibly some
additional structure,
like a Dirac operator.
* History: A precursor
was Snyder's spacetime with non-commuting coordinates; > s.a. quantum
spacetime.
Non-Commutative Spacetime > s.a. linear
connections; Hopf
Algebra; matrix [models]; quantum
spacetime; uncertainty.
* Semi-Riemannian: The
spectral triple can be generalized; One replaces Hilbert spaces with Krein
spaces, and Dirac operators are Krein-selfadjoint.

relations between coordinates become [xm, xn]
= i 
mn,
where mn is
a (constant) real antisymmetric matrix.
* Symmetries: Lie algebra
symmetries are replaced by Hopf algebra symmetries.
