Spectral action for a one-parameter family of Dirac operators SU(2) and SU(3)

摘要

The one-parameter family of Dirac operators containing the Levi-Civita, cubic, and the trivial Dirac operators on a compact Lie group is analyzed. The spectra for the one-parameter family of Dirac Laplacians on SU(2) and SU(3) are computed by considering a diagonally embedded Casimir operator. Then the asymptotic expansions of the spectral actions for SU(2) and SU(3) are computed, using the Poisson summation formula and the two-dimensional Euler-Maclaurin formula, respectively. The inflation potential and slow-roll parameters for the corresponding pure gravity inflationary theory are generated, using the full asymptotic expansion of the spectral action on SU(2).
