Abstract

Given the algebra, Hilbert space H, grading and real structure of the finite spectral triple of the Standard Model, we classify all possible Dirac operators such that H is a self-Morita equivalence bimodule for the associated Clifford algebra.

Notes

  1. For a general spectral triple, despite the notations, this is not the same decomposition that appears in [7, §4], although in the Standard Model case the two decompositions coincide.
