Particle models from special Jordan backgrounds and spectral triples

Abstract

We put forward a definition for spectral triples and algebraic backgrounds based on Jordan coordinate algebras. We also propose natural and gauge-invariant bosonic configuration spaces of fluctuated Dirac operators and compute them for general, almost-associative, Jordan, coordinate algebras. We emphasize that the theory so obtained is not equivalent with usual associative noncommutative geometry, even when the coordinate algebra is the self-adjoint part of a $C^{\ast }$-algebra. In particular, in the Jordan case, the gauge fields are always unimodular, thus curing a long-standing problem in noncommutative geometry.
