  • On Pythagoras Theorem for Products of Spectral Triples
    Letters in Mathematical Physics, 2013
    Co-Authors: Francesco D’andrea, Pierre Martinetti
    Abstract:

    We discuss a version of Pythagoras Theorem in noncommutative geometry. Usual Pythagoras Theorem can be formulated in terms of Connes’ distance, between pure states, in the product of commutative spectral triples. We investigate the generalization to both non-pure states and arbitrary spectral triples. We show that Pythagoras Theorem is replaced by some Pythagoras inequalities, that we prove for the product of arbitrary (i.e. non-necessarily commutative) spectral triples, assuming only some unitality condition. We show that these inequalities are optimal, and we provide non-unital counter-examples inspired by K -homology.

  • Pythagoras Theorem in Noncommutative Geometry
    arXiv: Mathematical Physics, 2015
    Co-Authors: Francesco D'andrea
    Abstract:

    After a review of the results in arXiv:1203.3184 [math-ph] about Pythagorean inequalities for products of spectral triples, I will present some new results and discuss classes of spectral triples and states for which equality holds.

  • Rational Trigonometry in Higher Dimensions and a Diagonal Rule for 2-planes in Four-dimensional space
    KoG, 2017
    Co-Authors: Norman J. Wildberger
    Abstract:

    We extend rational trigonometry to higher dimensions by introducing rational invariants between $k$-subspaces of $n$-dimensional space to give an alternative to the canonical or principal angles studied by Jordan and many others, and their angular variants. We study in particular the cross, spread and det-cross of $2$-subspaces of four-dimensional space, and show that Pythagoras Theorem, or the Diagonal Rule, has a natural generalization forsuch $2$-subspaces.

  • Chromogeometry and Relativistic Conics
    2009
    Co-Authors: Norman J. Wildberger
    Abstract:

    If Q1 = Q(A2,A3), Q2 = Q(A1,A3) and Q3 = Q(A1,A2) are the quadrances of a triangle A1A2A3, then PythagorasTheorem and its converse can together be stated as: A1A3 is perpendicular to A2A3 precisely when Q1 + Q2 = Q3. Figure 1 shows an example where Q1 = 5, Q2 = 20 and Q3 = 25. As indicated for the large square, these areas may also be calculated by subdivision and (translational) rearrangement, followed by counting cells. There is a sister Theorem—the Triple quad formula—that Euclid did not know, but which is fundamental for rational trigonometry, introduced in [2]: A1A3 is parallel to A2A3 precisely when

  • The ancient Greeks present: Rational Trigonometry
    arXiv: Metric Geometry, 2008
    Co-Authors: Norman J. Wildberger
    Abstract:

    Pythagoras' Theorem, the area of a triangle as one half the base times the height, and Heron's formula are amongst the most important and useful results of ancient Greek geometry. Here we look at all three in a new and improved light, using quadrance not distance. This leads to a simpler and more elegant trigonometry, in which angle is replaced by spread, and which extends to arbitrary fields and more general quadratic forms.
