Noncommutative gauge theories with Endomorphism algebras

preprint2006arXivOpen access

Abstract

We formulate a Yang-Mills action principle for noncommutative connections on an endomorphism algebra of a vector bundle. It is shown that there is an influence of the topology of the vector bundle onto the structure of the vacuums of the theory in a non common way. This model displays a new kind of symmetry breaking mechanism. Some mathematical tools are developed in relation with endomorphism algebras and a new approach of the usual Chern-Weil homomorphism in topology is given.
