We introduce a new family of metrics, called functional metrics, on noncommutative tori and study their spectral geometry. We define a class of Laplace type operators for these metrics and study their spectral invariants obtained from the heat trace asymptotics. A formula for the second density of the heat trace is obtained. In particular, the scalar curvature density and the total scalar curvature of functional metrics are explicitly computed in all dimensions for certain classes of metrics…

Curvature in noncommutative geometry

Our understanding of the notion of curvature in a noncommutative setting has progressed substantially in the past 10 years. This new episode in noncommutative geometry started when a Gauss-Bonnet…

Connes’s trace theorem for curved noncommutative tori: Application to scalar curvature

In this paper we prove a version of Connes' trace theorem for noncommutative tori of any dimension~$n\geq 2$. This allows us to recover and improve earlier versions of this result in dimension $n=2$…

The Ricci curvature in noncommutative geometry

Motivated by the local formulae for asymptotic expansion of heat kernels in spectral geometry, we propose a definition of Ricci curvature in noncommutative settings. The Ricci operator of an oriented…

A Scalar Curvature Formula For the Noncommutative 3-Torus

We compute the scalar curvature of a curved noncommutative 3-torus. To perturb the flat metric, the standard volume form on the noncommutative 3-torus is conformally perturbed and the corresponding…

Modular Curvature for Noncommutative Two-Tori

In this paper we investigate the curvature of conformal deformations by noncommutative Weyl factors of a flat metric on a noncommutative 2-torus, by analyzing in the framework of spectral triples…

Hypergeometric function and modular curvature

We first show that hypergeometric functions appear naturally as spectral functions when applying pseudo-differential calculus to decipher heat kernel asymptotic in the situation where the symbol…

An Asymmetric Noncommutative Torus

We introduce a family of spectral triples that describe the curved noncommuta- tive two-torus. The relevant family of new Dirac operators is given by rescaling one of two terms in the flat Dirac…
