Abstract:
It is known that the spin structure on a Riemannian manifold can be extended to noncommutative geometry using the notion of a spectral triple. For finite geometries, the corresponding finite spectral triples are completely described in terms of matrices and classified using diagrams. When tensorized with the ordinary space-time geometry, finite spectral triples give rise to Yang-Mills theories with spontaneous symmetry breaking, whose characteristic features are given within the diagrammatic approach: vertices of the diagram correspond to gauge multiplets of chiral fermions and links to Yukawa couplings.
