A representation of general translation-invariant star products ⋆ in the algebra of [Formula: see text] is introduced which results in the Moyal–Weyl–Wigner quantization. It provides a matrix model for general translation-invariant noncommutative quantum field theories in terms of the noncommutative calculus on differential graded algebras. Upon this machinery a cohomology theory, the so-called ⋆-cohomology, with groups [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], is worked out which provides a cohomological framework to formulate general translation-invariant noncommutative quantum field theories based on the achievements for the commutative fields, and is comparable to the Seiberg–Witten map for the Moyal case. Employing the Chern–Weil theory via the integral classes of [Formula: see text] a noncommutative version of the Chern character is defined as an equivariant form which contains topological information about the corresponding translation-invariant noncommutative Yang–Mills theory. Thereby, we study the mentioned Yang–Mills theories with three types of actions of the gauge fields on the spinors, the ordinary, the inverse, and the adjoint action, and then some exact solutions for their anomalous behaviors are worked out via employing the homotopic correlation on the integral classes of ⋆-cohomology. Finally, the corresponding consistent anomalies are also derived from this topological Chern character in the ⋆-cohomology.

We study the "quantized calculus" corresponding to the algebraic ideas related to "twisted cyclic cohomology" introduced in [12]. With very similar definitions and techniques as those used in [9], we define and study "twisted entire cyclic cohomology" and the "twisted Chern character" associated with an appropriate operator theoretic data called "twisted spectral data", which consists of a spectral triple in the conventional sense of noncommutative geometry [1] and an additional positive operator having some specified properties. Furthermore, it is shown that given a spectral triple (in the conventional sense) which is equivariant under the (co-) action of a compact matrix pseudogroup, it is possible to obtain a canonical twisted spectral data and hence the corresponding (twisted) Chern character, which will be invariant (in the usual sense) under the (co-)action of the pseudogroup, in contrast to the fact that the Chern character coming from the conventional noncommutative geometry need not to be invariant. In the last section, we also try to detail out some remarks made in [3], in the context of a new definition of invariance satisfied by the conventional (untwisted) cyclic cocycles when lifted to an appropriate larger algebra.

AbstractWe introduce and study tetrahedron instantons, which can be realized in string theory by $$\hbox {D}1$$ D 1 -branes probing a configuration of intersecting $$\hbox {D}7$$ D 7 -branes in flat spacetime with a proper constant B-field. Physically they capture instantons on $$\mathbb {C}^{3}$$ C 3 in the presence of the most general intersecting real codimension-two supersymmetric defects. Moreover, we construct the tetrahedron instantons as particular solutions of general instanton equations in noncommutative field theory. We analyze the moduli space of tetrahedron instantons and discuss the geometric interpretations. We compute the instanton partition function both via the equivariant localization on the moduli space of tetrahedron instantons and via the elliptic genus of the worldvolume theory on the $$\hbox {D}1$$ D 1 -branes probing the intersecting $$\hbox {D}7$$ D 7 -branes, obtaining the same result. The instanton partition function of the tetrahedron instantons lies between the higher-rank Donaldson–Thomas invariants on $$\mathbb {C}^{3}$$ C 3 and the partition function of the magnificent four model, which is conjectured to be the mother of all instanton partition functions. Finally, we show that the instanton partition function admits a free field representation, suggesting the existence of a novel kind of symmetry which acts on the cohomology of the moduli spaces of tetrahedron instantons.

As the title suggests, the main subject of this thesis is the study of symmetries of noncommutative spaces and related equivariant cohomologies. We focus on deformations of classical geometries coming from the action of some symmetry. A close relation between the deformation of the symmetry and the deformation of the space on which it acts is at the heart of our approach; we will use this idea to generate noncommutative geometries, and to de¯ne algebraic models for the equivariant cohomology of such actions.
