Nonassociative Riemannian Geometry by Twisting

From MaRDI portal
Publication:6216636




Abstract: Many quantum groups and quantum spaces of interest can be obtained by cochain (but not cocycle) twist from their corresponding classical object. This failure of the cocycle condition implies a hidden nonassociativity in the noncommutative geometry already known to be visible at the level of differential forms. We extend the cochain twist framework to connections and Riemannian structures and provide examples including twist of the S7 coordinate algebra to a nonassociative hyperbolic geometry in the same category as that of the octonions.
