Abstract: (Elsevier)
In this paper, we construct Laplace–Beltrami operators associated with arbitrary Riemannian metrics on noncommutative tori of any dimension. These operators enjoy the main properties of the Laplace–Beltrami operators on ordinary Riemannian manifolds. The construction takes into account the non-triviality of the group of modular automorphisms. On the way we introduce notions of Riemannian density and Riemannian volumes for noncommutative tori on noncommutative tori.
