Derivation-based noncommutative field theories on \(AF\) algebras. (English) Zbl 07822285

Summary: In this paper, we start the investigation of a new natural approach to “unifying” noncommutative gauge field theories (NCGFT) based on approximately finite-dimensional (\(AF\)) \(C^\ast\)-algebras. The defining inductive sequence of an \(AF\) \(C^\ast\)-algebra is lifted to enable the construction of a sequence of NCGFT of Yang-Mills-Higgs types. This paper focuses on derivation-based noncommutative field theories. A mathematical study of the ingredients involved in the construction of a NCGFT is given in the framework of \(AF\) \(C^\ast\)-algebras: derivation-based differential calculus, modules, connections, metrics and Hodge \(\star\)-operators, and Lagrangians. Some physical applications concerning mass spectra generated by Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking Mechanisms (SSBM) are proposed using numerical computations for specific situations.
