Spectral distance on the Moyal plane

  • 1. Universitaet Goettingen (Germany). Courant Centre

Description

We compute the spectral distance, defined in Connes' noncommutative geometry, in the Moyal plane. We find that the distance between the eigenstates m,m+1 of the quantum harmonic oscillator is proportional to m-1/2. We also show how to truncate the Moyal spectral triple in order to obtain quantum metric spaces in the sense of Rieffel.
