Abstract:
I will present in my talk the joint work with Chamseddine and Mukhanov, in which we introduce an equation on operators in Hilbert space whose solutions yield 4-dimensional manifolds and where the spectral action gives gravity coupled with the standard model. The picture that emerges is that the euclidean space-time unfolds to macroscopic size from the product of two 4-spheres of Planckian size.
