A reconstruction theorem for Connes-Landi deformations of commutative spectral triples

TL;DR
This work extends Connes's reconstruction theorem to Connes-Landi deformations of commutative spectral triples along a compact Abelian group $G$, introducing the notion of $\theta$-commutative spectral triples parameterised by $H^2(\widehat{G},\mathbb{T})$ and proving that a deformation by $\theta'$ yields a $(\theta+\theta')$-commutative triple.Using strict deformation quantisation, the authors develop a functorial deformation theory for $G$-equivariant Fréchet algebras and modules, and they establish that Connes-Landi deformations preserve regularity properties required for spectral geometry.They prove an extended reconstruction theorem guaranteeing that such deformed triples correspond to $G$-equivariant commutative geometry up to isomorphism, and they refine the splitting homomorphism to handle rational deformations, showing these are almost-commutative when the deformation parameter has finite order.Overall, the framework supports quantisation and dequantisation between $G$-equivariant commutative spectral triples and their Connes-Landi deformations, with significant implications for the spectral action on rational toric noncommutative manifolds and for Morita-type classifications in the rational regime.
Abstract
We formulate and prove an extension of Connes's reconstruction theorem for commutative spectral triples to so-called Connes-Landi or isospectral deformations of commutative spectral triples along the action of a compact Abelian Lie group $G$, also known as toric noncommutative manifolds. In particular, we propose an abstract definition for such spectral triples, where noncommutativity is entirely governed by a deformation parameter sitting in the second group cohomology of the Pontrjagin dual of $G$, and then show that such spectral triples are well-behaved under further Connes-Landi deformation, thereby allowing for both quantisation from and dequantisation to $G$-equivariant abstract commutative spectral triples. We then use a refinement of the Connes-Dubois-Violette splitting homomorphism to conclude that suitable Connes-Landi deformations of commutative spectral triples by a rational deformation parameter are almost-commutative in the general, topologically non-trivial sense.
