“…In order to investigate the differential-geometric structure of the fuzzy doughnut we mention first the definition the linear connection and the metric, specified in the frame formalism; for details we refer to [3,10]. Note that when the momenta exist the metric is given; otherwise there is a certain ambiguity which must be determined by field equations.…”

“…In the present formalism [3] the metric is 'real' if it satisfies the conditionḡ ba = S ab cd g cd . The definition of 'symmetry' of the metric is ambiguous: it can be defined either using the projection, P ab cd g cd = 0, or the flip S ab cd g cd = cg ab .…”

“…We use the definition of 3-algebra, given in terms of commutative diagrams, to explore the structure of dual coalgebra, and so to introduce a generalization of Hopf algebra [13,14]. To do this, we proceed as usually is done with the concept of coalgebra: a 3-coproduct is defined by inverting the arrows in the definition of the 3-associative algebra.…”

“…(SL(n, C)) Consider the group G = SL(n, C), where an element x = (a i j ) ∈ G has unit determinant, det x = 1. It is well known that the algebra generated by the functions a i j (x), with 2-coproduct defined by ∆a i j = k a i k ⊗ a k j is a Hopf algebra (see, for example, [14]), with counit given by…”

“…Introduction. Nowadays, interest has been established in non-Riemannian geometries derived in the low-energy string theory [18,64,65], noncommutative geometry [1,3,8,12,15,22,32,34,53,55,67,109,111,112], and quantum groups [33,35,36,37].

We present an introduction to the geometry of higher-order vector and covector bundles (including higher-order generalizations of the Finsler geometry and Kaluza-Klein gravity) and review the basic results on Clifford and spinor structures on spaces with generic local anisotropy modeled by anholonomic frames with associated nonlinear connection structures. We emphasize strong arguments for application of Finsler-like geometries in modern string and gravity theory, noncommutative geometry and noncommutative field theory, and gravity.2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 15A66, 58B20, 53C60, 83C60, 83E15.1. Introduction. Nowadays, interest has been established in non-Riemannian geometries derived in the low-energy string theory [18,64,65], noncommutative geometry [1,3,8,12,15,22,32,34,53,55,67,109,111,112], and quantum groups [33,35,36,37]. Various types of Finsler-like structures can be parametrized by generic off-diagonal metrics, which cannot be diagonalized by coordinate transforms but only by anholonomic maps with associated nonlinear connection (in brief, N-connection). Such structures may be defined as exact solutions of gravitational field equations in the Einstein gravity and its generalizations [75,79,80,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,102,103,104,105,109,110,111], for instance, in the metric-affine [19,23,56] Riemann-Cartan gravity [24,25]. Finsler-like configurations are considered in locally anisotropic thermodynamics, kinetics, related stochastic processes [85,96,107,108], and (super-) string theory [84,87,90,91,92].The following natural step in these lines is to elucidate the theory of spinors in effectively derived Finsler geometries and to relate this formalism of Clifford structures to noncommutative Finsler geometry. It should be noted that the rigorous definition of spinors for Finsler spaces and generalizations was not a trivial task because (on such spaces) there are no defined even local groups of automorphisms. The problem was solved in [82,83,88,89,93] by adapting the geometric constructions with respect to anholonomic frames with associated N-connection structure. The aim of this work is to outline the geometry of generalized Finsler spinors in a form more oriented to applications in modern mathematical physics.We start with some historical remarks: the spinors studied by mathematicians and physicists are connected with the general theory of Clifford spaces introduced in 1876 [14]. The theory of spinors and Clifford algebras play a major role in contemporary physics and mathematics. The spinors were discovered by Èlie Cartan in 1913 in 1190 S. I. VACARU AND N. A. VICOL mathematical form in his researches on representation group theory [10,11]; he showed that spinors furnish a linear representation of the groups of rotations of a space of arbitrary dimensions. The physicists Pauli [60] and Dirac [20] (in 1927, resp., for the three-dimensional and four-dimensional space-times) introduced spinors for the representation of the wave functions. In general relativity theory spinors and the Dirac equat...
