Abstract

We give a new definition of Levi-Civita connection for a noncommutative pseudo-Riemannian metric on a noncommutative manifold given by a spectral triple. We prove the existence-uniqueness result for a class of modules of one forms over a large class of noncommutative manifolds, including the matrix geometry of the fuzzy 3-sphere, the quantum Heisenberg manifolds and Connes-Landi deformations of spectral triples on the Connes-Dubois Violette-Rieffel-deformation of a compact manifold equipped with a free toral action. It is interesting to note that in the example of the quantum Heisenberg manifold, the definition of metric compatibility given in the paper by Frolich et al failed to ensure the existence of a unique Levi-Civita connection. In the case of the matrix geometry, the Levi-Civita connection that we get coincides with the unique real torsion-less unitary connection obtained by Frolich et al.

Brunnian braids and the inclusion from double shuffle Lie algebra to Kashiwara-Vergne Lie algebra

Schneps \cite{Schneps2012,Schneps2025} and Enriquez-Furusho \cite{EF4} proved that the double shuffle Lie algebra $\mathfrak{dmr}_0$ embeds into the Kashiwara--Vergne Lie algebra $\mathfrak{krv}_2$. We give a Brunnian braid interpretation of a related embedding into the symmetric Kashiwara--Vergne Lie algebra $\mathfrak{krv}_2^{\mathrm{sym}}$. More precisely, the map \[ φ\longmapsto \bigl(φ(-x_0-x_1,x_0),φ(-x_0-x_1,x_1)\bigr) \] defines an injective Lie algebra homomorphism from the subalgebra of $\mathfrak{dmr}_0$ satisfying the condition \[ [x_0,φ(-x_0-x_1,x_0)] +[x_1,φ(-x_0-x_1,x_1)]=0 \] into $\mathfrak{krv}_2^{\mathrm{sym}}$. The proof reformulate the double shuffle and symmetric Kashiwara--Vergne relations through abelianizations of Brunnian Lie algebras associated with the disk and punctured disks. We generalize this inclusion in two directions. First, replacing these abelianizations by higher lower central series quotients yields generalizations of relations and implications among them. Second, we establish explicit identities relating the linear pentagon defect to the stuffle coproduct, the divergence map, and the necklace cobracket.

Birational Equivalences for Kac--Moody Borel Enveloping Algebras

A Coxeter ordering of the simple roots of a finite-rank Kac--Moody algebra determines a finite family of commuting real-root vectors. We prove that $U^{\geq0}(\mathfrak g)$ is birationally equivalent to $Z\otimes\mathbb A_n$, where $Z$ is the residual Coxeter centralizer, by identifying the Coxeter localization $U^{\geq0}(\mathfrak g)[\mathbf X^{-1}]$ with $Z\otimes\mathbb A_n[\mathbf x^{-1}]$. For symmetrizable Cartan matrices the residual algebra is generated by finite Coxeter windows and is finitely presented. For the generic quantum Borel with torus dual to the root lattice, we prove the analogous birational equivalence.

Kontsevich's Cocycle Construction and Quantization of the Loday-Quillen-Tsygan Theorem

We relate graph complexes, Calabi-Yau $A_\infty$-categories and Kontsevich's cocycle construction. Our main result produces a commutative square of shifted Poisson algebras; one of its edges is the Loday-Quillen-Tsygan map, generalized to $A_\infty$-categories. We describe a quantized version via Beilinson-Drinfeld algebras. The larger context is to provide categorical methods which relate enumerative geometry (as in mirror symmetry) and large $N$ gauge theories.
