Twisted Index Theory on Good Orbifolds, I: Noncommutative Bloch Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the twisted index theory of elliptic operators on orbifold covering spaces of compact good orbifolds, which are invariant under a projective action of the orbifold fundamental group. We apply these results to obtain qualitative results on real and complex hyperbolic spaces in 2 and 4 dimensions, related to generalizations of the Bethe-Sommerfeld conjecture and the Ten Martini Problem, on the spectrum of self adjoint elliptic operators which are invariant under a projective action of a discrete cocompact group.

متن کاملTwisted Index Theory on Good Orbifolds, Ii: Fractional Quantum Numbers
This paper uses techniques in noncommutative geometry as developed by Alain Connes [Co2], in order to study the twisted higher index theory of elliptic operators on orbifold covering spaces of compact good orbifolds, which are invariant under a projective action of the orbifold fundamental group, continuing our earlier work [MM]. We also compute the range of the higher cyclic traces on K-theory...
متن کاملOn Positivity of the Kadison Constant and Noncommutative Bloch Theory
In [V. Mathai, K-theory of twisted group C∗-algebras and positive scalar curvature, Contemp. Math. 231 (1999) 203–225], we established a natural connection between the Baum-Connes conjecture and noncommutative Bloch theory, viz., the spectral theory of projectively periodic elliptic operators on covering spaces. We elaborate on this connection here and provide significant evidence for a fundame...
متن کاملRegularization of Non-commutative SYM by Orbifolds with Discrete Torsion and SL(2, Z) Duality
We construct a nonperturbative regularization for Euclidean noncommutative supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories with four (N = (2, 2)) , eight (N = (4, 4)) and sixteen (N = (8, 8)) supercharges in two dimensions. The construction relies on orbifolds with discrete torsion, which allows noncommuting space dimensions to be generated dynamically from zero dimensional matrix model in the deconstructio...
متن کاملNoncommutative Gauge Theory, Divergences and Closed Strings
We study the renormalization of non-commutative gauge theories with matter. As in the scalar field theory cases, there are logarithmic infrared divergences resulting from integrating out high momentum modes. In order to reproduce the correct infrared behaviour, the Wilsonian effective action has to include certain ’‘closed string“ modes with prescribed couplings. In the case of quiver gauge the...
