Graded non-commutative geometries (Q687749)

The author presents a short exposition of graded finite non-commutative geometries. The theory that serves as an example is based on the algebra of matrices \(M_ n(C)\). This noncommutative algebra replaces the algebra of functions on a manifold. Consequently, vector fields, forms and connections are constructed. The gauge theory can be introduced without the notion of internal manifold. Some physical applications, the similarities with the standard model and the graded version of this geometry are also discussed.
