Spectral distance on the Moyal plane — •Pierre Martinetti — Universität Göttingen and Courant Centre

We compute the spectral distance, defined in Connes’ Noncommutative Geometry, in the Moyal plane. We find that the distance between the eigenstates m, m+1 of the quantum harmonic oscillator is proportional to m^−1/2. We also show how to truncate the Moyal spectral triple in order to obtain quantum metric spaces in the sense of Rieffel.
