Dixmier traces on noncompact isospectral deformations

摘要

We extend the isospectral deformations of Connes, Landi and Dubois-Violette to the case of Riemannian spin manifolds carrying a proper action of the noncompact abelian group R-l. Under deformation by a torus action, a standard formula relates Dixmier traces of measurable operators to integrals of functions on the manifold. We show that this relation persists for actions of R-l, under mild restrictions on the geometry of the manifold which guarantee the Dixmier traceability of those operators. (C) 2006 Elsevier Inc.
