Covariant Star Product on Semi-Conformally Flat Noncommutative Calabi-Yau Manifolds and Noncommutative Topological Index Theorem

Abstract

A differential geometric version of noncommutative topological index theorem is worked out for covariant star products on noncommutative vector bundles. For start, a noncommutative manifold is considered as a product space X = Y * Z, wherein Y is a closed manifold, and Z is a flat Calabi-Yau m-fold. Also a semi-conformally flat metric is considered for X which leads to a dynamical noncommutative spacetime from the viewpoint of noncommutative gravity. Based on the Kahler form of Z the noncommutative star product is defined covariantly on vector bundles over X. This covariant star product leads to the celebrated Groenewold-Moyal product for trivial vector bundles and their flat connections, such as C^\infty(X). Hereby, the noncommutative characteristic classes are defined properly and the noncommutative Chern-Weil theory is established by considering the covariant star product and the superconnection formalism. Finally, the index of the noncommutative version of elliptic operators is studied and the noncommutative topological index theorem is stated accordingly.
