It seems to be a folklore fact that the metric can be reconstructed up to conformal equivalence if one replaces the Dirac operator D by sign(D). We give a precise formulation and proof of this fact.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2007-06-15T16:28:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "58B34", "53C27", "53A30" ], "keywords": [ "conformal structures", "noncommutative geometry", "compact riemannian spin manifold", "dirac operator", "canonical spectral triple" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0704.2119B" } } }
