英文摘要：

As a first step at developing a theory of noncommutative nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations, we analyze noncommutative analogues of Laplace's equation and its variants (some of the them nonlinear) over noncommutative tori. Along the way we prove noncommutative analogues of many results in classical analysis, such as Wiener's Theorem on functions with absolutely convergent Fourier series, and standard existence and non-existence theorems on elliptic functions. We show that many many classical methods, including the Maximum Principle, the direct method of the calculus of variations, the use of the Leray-Schauder Theorem, etc., have analogues in the noncommutative setting.

Laplace-Beltrami Operators on Noncommutative Tori

In this paper, we construct Laplace-Beltrami operators associated with arbitrary Riemannian metrics on noncommutative tori of any dimension. These operators enjoy the main properties of the Laplace-Beltrami operators on ordinary Riemannian manifolds. The construction takes into account the non-triviality of the group of modular automorphisms. On the way we introduce notions of Riemannian density and Riemannian volumes for noncommutative tori.

The Yang-Mills functional and Laplace's equation on quantum Heisenberg manifolds

In this paper, we discuss the Yang-Mills functional and a certain family of its critical points on quantum Heisenberg manifolds using noncommutative geometrical methods developed by A. Connes and M. Rieffel. In our main result, we construct a certain family of connections on a projective module over a quantum Heisenberg manifold that give rise to critical points of the Yang-Mills functional. Moreover, we show that this set of solutions can be described as a set of solutions to Laplace's equation on quantum Heisenberg manifolds.

Derivations and Reflection Positivity on the Quantum Cylinder

We describe the general structure of unbounded derivations in the quantum cylinder. We prove a noncommutative analog of reflection positivity for Laplace-type operators in a noncommutative cylinder following the ideas of Jaffe and Ritter proof of reflection positivity for Laplace operators on manifolds equipped with a reflection.

Heat asymptotics for nonminimal Laplace type operators and application to noncommutative tori

Let $P$ be a Laplace type operator acting on a smooth hermitean vector bundle $V$ of fiber $\mathbb{C}^N$ over a compact Riemannian manifold given locally by $P= - [g^{μν} u(x)\partial_μ\partial_ν+ v^ν(x)\partial_ν+ w(x)]$ where $u,\,v^ν,\,w$ are $M_N(\mathbb{C})$-valued functions with $u(x)$ positive and invertible. For any $a \in Γ(\text{End}(V))$, we consider the asymptotics $\text{Tr} (a e^{-tP}) \underset{t \downarrow 0^+}{\sim} \,\sum_{r=0}^\infty a_r(a, P)\,t^{(r-d)/2}$ where the coefficients $a_r(a, P)$ can be written locally as $a_r(a, P)(x) = \text{tr}[a(x) \mathcal{R}_r(x)]$. The co…

On a Poisson summation formula for noncommutative tori

It is proved that a maximal abelian subalgebra of the noncommutative torus commutes with the Laplace operator on a complex torus. As a corollary, one gets an analog of the Poisson summation formula for noncommutative tori.

Variations in noncommutative potential theory: finite energy states, potentials and multipliers

In this work we undertake an extension of various aspects of the potential theory of Dirichlet forms from locally compact spaces to noncommutative C*-algebras with trace. In particular we introduce finite-energy states, potentials and multipliers of Dirichlet spaces. We prove several results among which the celebrated Deny's embedding theorem and the Deny's inequality, the fact that the carre' du champ of bounded potentials are finite-energy functionals and the relative supply of multipliers.

Dixmier Trace Formulas and Negative Eigenvalues of Schroedinger Operators on Curved Noncommutative Tori

In a previous paper we established Cwikel-type estimates on noncommutative tori and used them to get analogues in this setting of the Cwikel-Lieb-Rozenblum (CLR) and Lieb-Thirring inequalities for negative eigenvalues of fractional Schrödinger operators. In this paper, we focus on "curved" NC tori, where the role of the usual Laplacian is played by Laplace-Beltrami operators associated with arbitrary Riemannian metrics. The Cwikel-type estimates of our previous paper are extended to pseudodifferential operators and powers of Laplace-Beltrami operators. There are several applications of these e…

Connes Trace Theorem for Curved Noncommutative Tori. Application to Scalar Curvature

In this paper we prove a version of Connes' trace theorem for noncommutative tori of any dimension~$n\geq 2$. This allows us to recover and improve earlier versions of this result in dimension $n=2$ and $n=4$ by Fathizadeh-Khalkhali. We also recover the Connes integration formula for flat noncommutative tori of McDonald-Sukochev-Zanin. As a further application we prove a curved version of this integration formula in terms of the Laplace-Beltrami operator defined by an arbitrary Riemannian metric. For the class of so-called self-compatible Riemannian metrics (including the conformally flat metr…

Finite dimensional subspaces of noncommutative $L_p$ spaces

We prove the following noncommutative version of Lewis's classical result. Every n-dimensional subspace E of Lp(M) (1<p<\infty) for a von Neumann algebra M satisfies d_{cb}(E, RC^n_{p'}) \leq c_p n^{\abs{1/2-1/p}} for some constant c_p depending only on $p$, where $1/p +1/p' =1$ and $RC^n_{p'} = [R_n\cap C_n, R_n+C_n]_{1/p'}$. Moreover, there is a projection $P:Lp(M) --> Lp(M)$ onto E with $\norm{P}_{cb} \leq c_p n^{\abs{1/2-1/p}}.$ We follow the classical change of density argument with appropriate noncommutative variations in addition to the opposite trick.

Noncommutative Riemannian Geometry and Diffusion on Ultrametric Cantor Sets

An analogue of the Riemannian Geometry for an ultrametric Cantor set (C, d) is described using the tools of Noncommutative Geometry. Associated with (C, d) is a weighted rooted tree, its Michon tree. This tree allows to define a family of spectral triples giving the Cantor set the structure of a noncommutative Riemannian manifold. The family of spectral triples is indexed by the space of choice functions which is shown to be the analogue of the sphere bundle of a Riemannian manifold. The Connes metric coming from the Dirac operator D then allows to recover the metric on C. The corresponding ze…

A new proof of the noncommutative Banach-Stone theorem

Surjective isometries between unital C*-algebras were classified in 1951 by Kadison. In 1972 Paterson and Sinclair handled the nonunital case by assuming Kadison's theorem and supplying some supplementary lemmas. Here we combine an observation of Paterson and Sinclair with variations on the methods of Yeadon and the author, producing a fundamentally new proof of the structure of surjective isometries between (nonunital) C*-algebras. In the final section we indicate how our techniques may be applied to classify surjective isometries of noncommutative Lp spaces, extending some recent results of …

Analyticity and spectral properties of noncommutative Ricci flow in a matrix geometry

We study a first variation formula for the eigenvalues of the Laplacian evolving under the Ricci flow in a simple example of a noncommutative matrix geometry, namely a finite dimensional representation of a noncommutative torus. In order to do so, we first show that the Ricci flow in this matrix geometry is analytic.
