Global Eikonal Condition for Lorentzian Distance Function in Noncommutative Geometry

Connes' noncommutative Riemannian distance formula is constructed in two steps, the first one being the construction of a path-independent geometrical functional using a global constraint on continuous functions. This paper generalizes this first step to Lorentzian geometry. We show that, in a...
