Abstract: We review the construction of the Dirac operator and its properties in Riemannian geometry and show how the asymptotic expansion of the trace of the heat kernel determines the spectral invariants of the Dirac operator and its index. We also point out that the Einstein-Hilbert functional can be obtained as a linear combination of the first two spectral invariants of the Dirac operator. Next, we report on our previous attempts to generalize the notion of the Dirac operator to the case of Matrix Geometry, when instead of a Riemannian metric there is a matrix valued self-adjoint symmetric two-tensor that plays a role of a ``non-commutative metric. We construct invariant first-order and second-order self-adjoint elliptic partial differential operators, that can be called ``non-commutative Dirac operator and non-commutative Laplace operator. We construct the corresponding heat kernel for the non-commutative Laplace type operator and compute its first two spectral invariants. A linear combination of these two spectral invariants gives a functional that can be considered as a non-commutative generalization of the Einstein-Hilbert action.
