Monopoles, Vortices and Kinks in the Framework of Non-Commutative Geometry
Noncommutative differential geometry allows a scalar field to be regarded as a gauge connection, albeit on a discrete space. We explain how the underlying gauge principle corresponds to the independence of physics on the choice of vacuum state, should it be nonunique. A consequence is that Yang-Mill...
