NON-COMMUTATIVE CONNECTIONS OF THE SECOND KIND
Abstract
A connection-like objects, termed hom-connections are defined in the realm of non-commutative geometry. The definition is based on the use of homomorphisms rather than tensor products. It is shown that hom-connections arise naturally from (strong) connections in non-commutative principal bundles. The induction procedure of hom-connections via a map of differential graded algebras or a differentiable bimodule is described. The curvature for a hom-connection is defined, and it is shown that flat hom-connections give rise to a chain complex.
