Noncommutative geometry (à la Connes) (58B34) Kaluza-Klein and other higher-dimensional theories (83E15) Differential forms in global analysis (58A10) More general nonquantum field theories in mechanics of particles and systems (70S20)

Abstract: We describe a novel approach to dimensional reduction in classical field theory. Inspired by ideas from noncommutative geometry, we introduce extended algebras of differential forms over space-time, generalized exterior derivatives and generalized connections associated with the "geometry" of space-times with discrete extra dimensions. We apply our formalism to theories of gauge- and gravitational fields and find natural geometrical origins for an axion- and a dilaton field, as well as a Higgs field.
