A differential calculus on a ``space'' means the specification of a differential graded algebra (DGA), often interpreted as space of forms. In classical geometry, the ``space'' is a manifold and we have the de-Rham DGA, whereas in noncommutative geometry a ``space'' is described by a triple called spectral triple. A spectral triple is a tuple \((A, H, D)\), where \(A\) is an associative-algebra represented on the Hilbert space \(H\) and \(D\) is a Dirac-type operator on \(H\). Associated to a spectral triple, there are two canonical DGAs defined by \textit{A. Connes} [Noncommutative geometry. Transl. from the French by Sterling Berberian. San Diego, CA: Academic Press (1994; Zbl 0818.46076)] and \textit{J. Fröhlich} et al. [Commun. Math. Phys. 203, No. 1, 119--184 (1999; Zbl 0947.58010)]. The authors called them as the Dirac DGA and the FGR DGA. It is natural to ask if there is any way to compare these two DGAs so that one can declare one of them as truly noncommutative space of forms. The authors had computed two canonical DGAs for the quantum double suspended spectral triple under some conditions. It turns out that the FGR DGA becomes almost trivial for the quantum double suspended spectral triple. This helps authors to conclude that the Dirac DGA is more informative than the FGR DGA.
