Abstract: An analogue of a spectral triple over SUq(2) is constructed for which the usual assumption of bounded commutators with the Dirac operator fails. An analytic expression analogous to that for the Hochschild class of the Chern character for spectral triples yields a non-trivial twisted Hochschild 3-cocycle. The problems arising from the unbounded commutators are overcome by defining a residue functional using projections to cut down the Hilbert space.


To describe the geometry of quantum groups and their homogeneous spaces requires that we generalise the axioms for noncommutative smooth manifolds and spectral triples. Several generalisations have been suggested in recent years. This article works out another example and constructs a variant of a spectral triple over the quantum group SU\(_q(2)\). This is not a spectral triple because the crucial axiom about bounded commutators \([D,a]\) is violated. Nevertheless, the authors manage in a somewhat ad hoc way to associate a twisted Hochschild 3-cocycle to this situation. This turns out to be the standard twisted 3-cocycle on SU\(_q(2)\). Besides the usual data used in a spectral triple, they also cut operators down with certain projections to get finite results.
