Noncommutative Geometric Gauge Theory from Superconnections
نویسنده
چکیده
Noncommutative geometric gauge theory is reconstructed based on the superconnection concept. The bosonic action of the Connes-Lott model including the symmetry breaking Higgs sector is obtained by using a new generalized derivative, which consists of the usual 1-form exterior derivative plus an extra element called the matrix derivative, for the curvatures. We first derive the matrix derivative based on superconnections and then show how the matrix derivative can give rise to spontaneous symmetry breaking. We comment on the correspondence between the generalized derivative and the generalized Dirac operator of the Connes-Lott model.

Quiver Gauge Theory of Nonabelian Vortices and Noncommutative Instantons in Higher Dimensions
We construct explicit BPS and non-BPS solutions of the Yang-Mills equations on the noncommutative space R θ ×S2 which have manifest spherical symmetry. Using SU(2)-equivariant dimensional reduction techniques, we show that the solutions imply an equivalence between instantons on R θ ×S2 and nonabelian vortices on R θ , which can be interpreted as a blowing-up of a chain of D0-branes on R θ into...
متن کاملNew Type of Vector Gauge Theory from Noncommutative Geometry
Using the formalism of noncommutative geometric gauge theory based on the superconnection concept, we construct a new type of vector gauge theory possessing a shift-like symmetry and the usual gauge symmetry. The new shift-like symmetry is due to the matrix derivative of the noncommutative geometric gauge theory, and this gives rise to a mass term for the vector field without introducing the Hi...
متن کاملSuperconnections and Higher Index Theory
Let M be a smooth closed spin manifold. The higher index theorem computes the pairing between the group cohomology of π1(M) and the Chern character of the “higher” index of a Dirac-type operator on M. Using superconnections, we give a heat equation proof of this theorem on the level of differential forms on a noncommutative base space. As a consequence, we obtain a new proof of the Novikov conj...
متن کاملApplication of Noncommutative Differential Geometry on Lattice to Anomaly Analysis in Abelian Lattice Gauge Theory
The chiral anomaly in lattice abelian gauge theory is investigated by applying the geometric and topological method in noncommutative differential geometry(NCDG). A new kind of double complex and descent equation are proposed on infinite hypercubic lattice in arbitrary even dimensional Euclidean space, in the framework of NCDG. Using the general solutions to proposed descent equation, we derive...
متن کاملEffective Field Theory for Noncommutative Spacetime: a Toy Model
A novel geometric model of a noncommutative plane has been constructed. We demonstrate that it can be construed as a toy model for describing and explaining the basic features of physics in a noncommutative spacetime from a field theory perspective. The noncommutativity is induced internally through constraints and does not require external interactions. We show that the noncommutative space-ti...
