Description

We quickly review the notion of spectral triples - the noncommutative generalization of Riemannian spin manifolds devised by Alain Connes - and propose extensions of it to the Lorentzian and anti-Lorentzian signatures, which we call "spectral spacetimes". We motivate this definition and give several examples. (paper)
