Multiplicativity of Connes’ calculus

Publication date 10 February 2020

Abstract: We consider the quadruples

, (m a t h c a l A, m a t h b b V, D, g a m m a)

where

m a t h c a l A

is a unital, associative

m a t h b b K,

-algebra represented on the

m a t h b b K,

-vector space

m a t h b b V

,

D i n m a t h c a l E n d (m a t h b b V)

,

g a m m a i n m a t h c a l E n d (m a t h b b V)

is a

m a t h b b Z_{2}

-grading operator which commutes with

m a t h c a l A

and anticommutes with

D

. We prove that the collection of such quadruples, denoted by

, w i d e t i l d e m a t h c a l S p e c,

, is a monoidal category. We consider the monoidal subcategory

, w i d e t i l d e m a t h c a l S p e c_{s u b},

of objects of

, w i d e t i l d e m a t h c a l S p e c,

for which

g a m m a i n p i (m a t h c a l A)

. We show that there is a covariant functor

, m a t h c a l G : w i d e t i l d e m a t h c a l S p e c l o n g r i g h t a r r o w w i d e t i l d e m a t h c a l S p e c_{s u b},

. Let

be the differential graded algebra defined by Connes ([Con2]) and

D G A

denotes the category of differential graded algebras over the field

m a t h b b K,

. We show that

m a t h c a l F : w i d e t i l d e m a t h c a l S p e c_{s u b} l o n g r i g h t a r r o w D G A,

, given by

, is a monoidal functor. To show that

, m a t h c a l F c i r c m a t h c a l G,

is not trivial we explicitly compute it for the cases of compact manifold and the noncommutative torus along with the associated cohomologies.
