Algebraic connections on parallel universes
Abstract
For any manifold M, we introduce a -graded differential algebra , which, in particular, is a bi-module over the associative algebra C(M M). We then introduce the corresponding covariant differentials and show how this construction can be interpreted in terms of Yang-Mills and Higgs fields. This is a particular example of noncommutative geometry. It differs from the prescription of Connes in the following way: The definition of does not rely on a given Dirac-Yukawa operator acting on a space of spinors.
