Noncommutative Generalization of Wilson Lines

Abstract: A classical Wilson line is a cooresponedce between closed paths and elemets of a gauge group. However the noncommutative geometry does not have closed paths. But noncommutative geometry have good generalizations of both: the covering projection, and the group of covering transformations. These notions are used for a construction of noncommutative Wilson lines. Wilson lines can also be constructed as global pure gauge fields on the universal covering space. The noncommutative analog of this construction is also developed.
