| Popis: | We study aspects of noncommutative Riemannian geometry of the path algebra arising from the Kronecker quiver with N arrows. To start with, the framework of derivation based differential calculi is recalled together with a discussion on metrics and bimodule connections compatible with the *-structure of the algebra. As an illustration, these concepts are applied to the noncommutative torus where examples of torsion free and metric (Levi-Civita) connections are given. In the main part of the paper, noncommutative geometric aspects of (generalized) Kronecker algebras are considered. The structure of derivations and differential calculi is explored, and torsion free bimodule connections are studied together with their compatibility with hermitian forms, playing the role of metrics on the module of differential forms. Moreover, for several different choices of Lie algebras of derivations, non-trivial Levi-Civita connections are constructed. Comment: 30 pages |
