Abstract

By combining the generalized exterior algebra of forms over a noncommutative algebra with the gauging of discrete directions and the associated Higgs fields, we consider the construction of the bosonic sector of left-right symmetric models of the form SU(2) L ⊗ SU(2) R ⊗ U(1). We see that within this formalism maximal use can be made of the gauge connection associated with the noncommutative graded algebra.
