Non-Commutative Gravity  

In General > s.a. 2D gravity; 3D gravity; action for general relativity.
* Motivation: May be able to "smoothly" interpolate between different spatial topologies.
* Einstein equation: The effects of non-commutativity can be taken into account by keeping the standard form of the Einstein tensor on the left-hand side of the equation and introducing a modified energy-momentum tensor as a source on the right-hand side.
* Remark: The Wodzicki residue of D–2, with D the Dirac operator, is proportional to the EH action [@ Kastler CMP(95)].
