Abstract: An orbifold is a Morita equivalence class of a proper {' e}tale Lie groupoid. A unitary equivalence class of spectral triples over the algebra of smooth invariant functions are associated with any compact spin orbifold. In the case of an effective spin orbifold we construct a collection of spectral triples over the smooth convolution algebras of the representatives of the Morita equivalence class.

Review text

A typical noncommutative geometric space is constructed by means of an analytic deformation of a function algebra on a manifold. Orbifolds are examples of analytic deformations of singular spaces. The theory of spectral triples has proven to be a successful model for extensions of the theory of Riemannian manifolds to the noncommutative geometric realm.NEWLINENEWLINEThe study of singular noncommutative deformations is somewhat out of the scope of the spectral triple formulation of noncommutative geometry since the axioms of the spectral triples are specific to smooth manifolds without singularities.NEWLINENEWLINEThe goal of the paper under review is to develop Dirac spectral triples over function algebras of orbifolds in the differential geometric context. An orbifold (groupoid) is modeled as a Morita equivalence class of a proper etale Lie groupoid. A Morita equivalence class consists of those Lie groupoids which share the same orbit space, including its singularities.NEWLINENEWLINEAssociated with an orbifold there are two relevant complex function algebras: the algebra of smooth invariant functions and the smooth convolution algebra. The paper under review develops spectral triples over both algebras under certain natural conditions.
