The spectral torsion for the one form rescaled Dirac operator
Jian Wang, Yong Wang
TL;DR
This work extends the notion of spectral torsion to the one-form rescaled Dirac operator $\widetilde{D}=c(V)(D+\sqrt{-1}c(X))c(V)$ on even-dimensional closed spin manifolds, using the noncommutative residue framework of spectral triples. It derives a Lichnerowicz-type formula for $\widetilde{D}^2$ and develops the necessary symbol calculus in normal coordinates to compute the inverse-symbol expansion. The main result is an explicit local formula for the spectral torsion $\mathscr{S}_{\widetilde{D}}(c(\widetilde{u}),c(\widetilde{v}),c(\widetilde{w}))$, expressed as a scaled integral over $M$ of a combination involving $\|V\|$, the inner products of $\widetilde{u},\widetilde{v},\widetilde{w}$, and their actions on $\|V\|^{2}$. This provides a concrete geometric quantity linking spectral data to the rescaling data $(V,X)$ in noncommutative-geometry language and lays groundwork for further exploration in twisted spectral triples and inner fluctuations.
Abstract
The spectral torsion is defined by three vector fields and Dirac operators and the noncommutative residue. Motivated by the spectral torsion and the one form rescaled Dirac operator, we give some new spectral torsion which is the extension of spectral torsion for Dirac operators, and compute the spectral torsion for the one form rescaled Dirac operator on even-dimensional spin manifolds without boundary.
