Non-Commutative Resistance Networks

In the setting of finite-dimensional C*-algebras A we define what we call a Riemannian metric for A, which when A is commutative is very closely related to a finite resistance network. We explore the relationship with Dirichlet forms and corresponding seminorms that are Markov and Leibniz, with corr...

Description
Summary:In the setting of finite-dimensional C*-algebras A we define what we call a Riemannian metric for A, which when A is commutative is very closely related to a finite resistance network. We explore the relationship with Dirichlet forms and corresponding seminorms that are Markov and Leibniz, with corresponding matricial structure and metric on the state space. We also examine associated Laplace and Dirac operators, quotient energy seminorms, resistance distance, and the relationship with standard deviation.
