Noncommutative geometry and a class of completely integrable models (Q1574913): Difference between revisions

A generalization of classical (pseudo-) Riemannian geometries is obtained by generalizing the concept of differential forms. To this end the authors introduce a Hodge operator in a framework of noncommutative geometry. The authors present a class of completely integrable generalized harmonic maps into matrix algebras which are noncommutative analogues of harmonic maps into groups.
