How to choose a spectral triple?
Monday, October 25 3pm, 646 PGH
Abstract
|
A spectral triple associated to a C*-algebra may, for a given
C*-algebra, be obtained in different ways. Is there a
“right” smooth structure associated to a given C*-algebra?
In collaboration with Cristina Ivan, Michel Lapidus, and Elmar Schrohe, we
have studied ways of assigning spectral triples to commutative
C*-algebras where the spectrum is a fractal set in the plane.
A fractal has no smooth structure, but some parts of a differentiable
structure can be expressed in terms of a spectral triple, and in this way
make sense, also for a fractal set. For the Sierpinski Gasket we have
constructed an infinite family of spectral triples to choose from, and I
will try to indicate which one to choose if you want to emphasize that the
spectral triple shall reflect a specific geometric property of the gasket.
