The study deforms infinitesimal diffeomorphisms of a smooth manifold to construct Einstein’s equations for gravity on noncommutative manifolds. The deformation, based on a general twist, yields a differential geometry on a noncommutative algebra of functions with a star‑product, and briefly considers non‑anticommutative superspaces. The studied noncommutative spaces are very rich, and the resulting differential geometry is covariant under deformed diffeomorphisms and coordinate independent.
We study a deformation of infinitesimal diffeomorphisms of a smooth manifold. The deformation is based on a general twist. This leads to a differential geometry on a noncommutative algebra of functions whose product is a star-product. The class of noncommutative spaces studied is very rich. Non-anticommutative superspaces are also briefly considered. The differential geometry developed is covariant under deformed diffeomorphisms and it is coordinate independent. The main target of this work is the construction of Einstein's equations for gravity on noncommutative manifolds.
