A spectral triple for a solenoid based on the Sierpinski gasket (Q2023422)

This very detailed and very well written paper is divided into six sections. After this introduction, Section 2 contains some preliminary notions on fractals and spectral triples, Section 3 describes the geometry of the ramified covering and the corresponding inductive structure, together with its functional counterpart given by a family of compatible spectral triples. Section 4 concerns the self-similarity structure of the Sierpinski solenoid, whence the description of the inductive family of \(C^*\)-algebras as algebras of bounded functions on the fractafold. Section 5 describes the algebra of geometric operators and the construction of a semicontinuous semifinite trace on it. Finally, the semifinite spectral triple together with its main features are contained in Section 6.
