Abstract

We study geodesics in noncommutative geometry by means of bimodule connections and completely positive maps using the Kasparov, Stinespring, Gel’fand, Naĭmark & Segal (KSGNS) construction. This is motivated from classical geometry, and we also consider examples on the algebras M_2 and C(Z_n)thou...

Abstract: We study geodesics in noncommutative geometry by means of bimodule connections and completely positive maps using the Kasparov, Stinespring, Gel’fand, Naĭmark & Segal (KSGNS) construction. This is motivated from classical geometry, and we also consider examples on the algebras M_2 and C(Z_n)though restricting to classical time. On the way we have to consider the reality of a noncommutative vector field, and for this we propose a definition depending on a state on the algebra.
