Properties of the differential calculus arising from the Dirac operator are studied and the results are compared to the commutative case of the sphere S 3 .

A corresponding framework has been developed by Woronowicz, more generally for Hopf algebras including quantum groups. A differential calculus is regarded as the most basic structure needed for the introduction of further geometric notions like linear connections and, moreover, for the formulation of field theories and dynamics on finite sets. Associated with each bicovariant first order differential calculus on a finite group is a braid operator which plays an important role for the construction of distinguished geometric structures. For a covariant calculus, there are notions of invariance for linear connections and tensors. All these concepts are explored for finite groups and illustrated with examples. Some results are formulated more generally for arbitrary associative (Hopf) algebras. In particular, the problem of extension of a connection on a bimodule (over an associative algebra) to tensor products is investigated, leading to the class of `extensible connections'. It is shown that invariance properties of an extensible connection on a bimodule over a Hopf algebra are carried over to the extension. Furthermore, an invariance property of a connection is also shared by a `dual connection' which exists on the dual bimodule (as defined in this work).

We investigate also whether such spectral triples admit a symmetry arising from the Hopf algebra structure of the finite algebra. We discuss examples of commutative algebras and groups algebras.

It is pointed out that real spectral triples, i.e., triples satisfying the reality structure J, can nevertheless contain specific and well-defined couplings of lepton doublets to right-handed up antiquarks, via scalar leptoquarks. We explore in detail the consequences of the possible existence of such leptoquarks, both for the Connes-Lott and the spectral action, and compare with physical bounds. For either case the results are in contradiction with experimental information.

A canonical connection is constructed, and is shown to coincide with the standard Dirac magnetic monopole.

The relevant family of new Dirac operators is given by rescaling one of two terms in the flat Dirac operator. We compute the dressed scalar curvature and show that the Gauss-Bonnet theorem holds (which is not covered by the general result of Connes and Moscovici).

It would seem however from the Standard Model, at least as far as the weak interactions are concerned, that a double-sheeted structure is the phenomenologically appropriate one at present accelerator energies. We examine here to what extent this latter structure can be considered as a singular limit of the former. LPTHE Orsay 95/75 November, 1995 * Laboratoire associé au CNRS, URA D0063

These spectral triples are given by weakening some of the conditions of a real spectral triple. We classify the irreducible almost real spectral triples on quantum lens spaces and we study unitary equivalences of such quantum lens spaces. Applying a useful characterization of principal U (1)-fibrations in noncommutative geometry, we show that all such quantum lens spaces are principal U (1)-fibrations over quantum teardrops.

Assuming that the cut-off function is not necessarily symmetric we find that that the scale invariant part of the perturbative expansion might differ from the spectral action of the flat three-torus by the eta invariant.

More specifically, a new notion of smoothness of algebras is proposed. This notion, termed differential smoothness combines the existence of a top form in a differential calculus over the algebra together with a strong version of the Poincar\'e duality realized as an isomorphism between complexes of differential and integral forms. The quantum two- and three-spheres, disc, plane or the noncommutative torus are all smooth in this sense. It is shown that noncommutative coordinate algebras of deformations of several examples of classical orbifolds such as the pillow orbifold, singular cones and lens spaces that are known to be homologically smooth are smooth in the hereby introduced sense too. Riemannian aspects of the noncommutative pillow and Moyal deformations of cones are also studied and spectral triples are constructed. In contrast to the classical situation, these triples satisfy the orientability con...
