Abstract: We construct a 3^+ summable spectral triple (A(SU_q(2)),H,D) over the quantum group SU_q(2) which is equivariant with respect to a left and a right action of U_q(su(2)). The geometry is isospectral to the classical case since the spectrum of the operator D is the same as that of the usual Dirac operator on the 3-dimensional round sphere. The presence of an equivariant real structure J demands a modification in the axiomatic framework of spectral geometry, whereby the commutant and first-order properties need be satisfied only modulo infinitesimals of arbitrary high order.


The authors show how to construct a noncommutative 3-dimensional spectral geometry on the manifold of the quantum group \(\text{SU}_q (2)\). This is done by building \(a\) \(3^+\)-summable spectral triple \((\mathcal A(\text{SU}_q (2)),\mathcal H, D)\), which is equivariant with respect to a left and a right action of \(\mathcal U_q (su(2))\). The geometry is isospectral to the classical case in the sense that the spectrum of the operator \(D\) is the same as the spectrum of the usual Dirac operator on the 3-sphere \(\text{SU} (2)\) with the round metric. The construction is presented in a precise and elegant way.
