Jan 8, 2013 at 1:59 comment added Branimir Ćaćić @Z254R Is $\sqrt{d^\ast d}$ actually going to give you the "Dirac operator" of a spectral triple? From the look of it, I'd sooner expect $\sqrt{d^\ast d}$ to only be the absolute value of such an operator, and finding the correct "sign" is often the tricky part with constructing spectral triples from the ground up.
Jan 6, 2013 at 22:19 comment added Alexander Chervov Algebraic approach has advatage that it works on non-compact situations, so I would be very interested to know what can be "Casimir" for "free-R^n" - it should be related to our Manin matrices, but I do not see how this can be approached for the moment...
Jan 6, 2013 at 22:14 comment added Alexander Chervov Actually I do not see correct analogs of "Casimirs" in free setup... that is why it is somewhat surprising for me what you write... I may be quite wrong... Just feelings...
Jan 6, 2013 at 20:40 comment added Alexander Chervov for usual sphere we can do everything with algebra and NO analysis - sl(n) will act on sphere and Laplacian (=dd^*) = Casimir (center of U(sl)), and hence representation theory of sl(n) applies. Do expect something like this for "free-sphere" ? At least do you expect that non-commutative polynoms of degree less than "k" will be preserved by hypothetical Laplacian dd^* ?
Jan 6, 2013 at 15:22 comment added Liviu Nicolaescu Also, the metric enters in a more subtle way in the definition of $d^*$. The notion of adjoint uses some metric.
Jan 6, 2013 at 14:53 comment added Alexander Chervov please read second sentence as: At the moment it is not clear for me how to define "d" IN "free" setup ?
Jan 6, 2013 at 14:51 comment added Alexander Chervov I would add emphasize that main difference on "free-Sphere" from "just Sphere" is that x_i do NOT COMMUTE (just emphasize for better reading). At the moment it is not clear for me how to define "d" is "free" setup ? And also not clear for me definition of $\perp$, both free and non-free. Can we define "d" for "free-space" I mean if we do not impose condition $\sum x_i^2 =1 $ ? What will be the answer in this case ?
