Noncommutative principal chiral models — •Folkert Müller-Hoissen1 and Aristophanes Dimakis2 — 1Max-Planck-Institut für Strömungsforschung, Bunsenstrasse 10, D-37073 Göttingen — 2Mathematics Department, GR-83200 Karlovasi, Samos, Greece
An analogue of the Hodge operator is introduced in a framework
of noncommutative geometry. The complete integrability of
classical 2-dimensional principal chiral models is then extended
to a class of generalized principal chiral models on associative
and noncommutative algebras. An example of special interest is
the algebra of smooth functions (in two dimensions) with the
Moyal product.
