Limit Sets as Examples in Noncommutative Geometry
نویسنده
چکیده
The fundamental group of a hyperbolic manifold acts on the limit set, giving rise to a cross-product C∗-algebra. We construct nontrivial K-cycles for the cross-product algebra, thereby extending some results of Connes and Sullivan to higher dimensions. We also show how the Patterson-Sullivan measure on the limit set can be interpreted as a center-valued KMS state.

Some Aspects of Noncommutative Geometry and Physics
An introduction is given to some selected aspects of noncommutative geometry. Simple examples in this context are provided by finite sets and lattices. As an application, it is explained how the nonlinear Toda lattice and a discrete time version of it can be understood as generalized σ-models based on noncommutative geometries. In particular, in this way one achieves a simple understanding of t...
متن کاملAlgebraic Noncommutative Geometry
A noncommutative algebra A, called an algebraic noncommutative geometry, is defined, with a parameter ε in the centre. When ε is set to zero, the commutative algebra A0 of algebraic functions on an algebraic manifold M is obtained. This A0 is a subalgebra of Cω(M), which is dense if M is compact. The generators of A define an immersion of M into Rn, and M inherits a Poisson structure as the lim...
متن کاملIntersecting Connes Noncommutative Geometry with Quantum Gravity
An intersection of Noncommutative Geometry and Loop Quantum Gravity is proposed. Alain Connes’ Noncommutative Geometry provides a framework in which the Standard Model of particle physics coupled to general relativity is formulated as a unified, gravitational theory. However, to this day no quantization procedure compatible with this framework is known. In this paper we consider the noncommutat...
متن کاملNonpertubative Effects of Extreme Localization in Noncommutative Geometry
“Extremely” localized wavefunctions in noncommutative geometry have disturbances that are localized to distances smaller than √ θ, where θ is the “area” parameter that measures noncommutativity. In particular, distributions such as the sign function or the Dirac delta function are limiting cases of extremely localized wavefunctions. It is shown that Moyal star products of extremely localized wa...
متن کاملNoncommutative Residues and a Characterisation of the Noncommutative Integral
We continue the study of the relationship between Dixmier traces and noncommutative residues initiated by A. Connes. The utility of the residue approach to Dixmier traces is shown by a characterisation of the noncommutative integral in Connes’ noncommutative geometry (for a wide class of Dixmier traces) as a generalised limit of vector states associated to the eigenvectors of a compact operator...
