Levi-Civita connections for a class of spectral triples (Q1986556)

The authors give a definition of Levi-Civita connection for spectral triples which satisfies existence and uniqueness in several examples: Connes-Dubois-Violette-Rieffel deformations of compact Riemannian manifolds obtained from free and isometric torus actions, quantum Heisenberg manifolds, the fuzzy 3-sphere, and Connes-Landi deformations of spectral triples. Levi-Civita connections as such, are defined on 1-forms instead of the derivations used in other approaches.
