We study geodesics flows on curved quantum Riemannian geometries using a recent formulation in terms of bimodule connections and completely positive maps. We complete this formalism with a canonical ∗ operation on noncommutative vector fields. We show on a classical manifold how the Ricci tensor arises naturally in our approach as a term in the convective derivative of the divergence of the geodesic velocity field, and use this to propose a similar object in the noncommutative case. Examples…

Noncommutative Riemannian and Spin Geometry of the Standard q-Sphere
We study the quantum sphere as a quantum Riemannian manifold in the quantum frame bundle approach. We exhibit its 2-dimensional cotangent bundle as a direct sum Ω0,1⊕Ω1,0 in a double complex. We find
