Quantum diffusion on almost commutative spectral triples and spinor bundles

Abstract: Based on the observation that Cacic [10]'s characterization of almost commutative spectral triples as Clifford module bundles can be pushed to endomorphim algebras of Dirac bundles, with the geometric Dirac operator related to the Dirac operator of the spectral triple by a perturbation, the question of complete positivity of the heat semigroups generated by connection laplacian and Dirac and Kostant's cubic Dirac laplacians is approached using spin geometry and C *-Dirichlet forms. The geometric heat semigroups for on endomorphosm algebras of spinor bundles are shown to be quantum dynamical semigroups and the existence of covariant quantum stochastic flows associated to the heat semigroups on spinor bundles over reductive homogeneous spaces is established using the construction of Sinha and Goswami [34].
