1 Introduction
The spectral action introduced by Chamseddine–Connes plays an important role [3] in noncommutative geometry. More precisely, given a spectral triple where is an algebra acting on the Hilbert space and is a Dirac-like operator (see [8, 23]), they proposed a physical action depending only on the spectrum of the covariant Dirac operator
[TABLE]
where is a one-form represented on , so has the decomposition
[TABLE]
with , , is a real structure on the triple corresponding to charge conjugation and depending on the dimension of this triple and comes from the commutation relation
[TABLE]
This action is defined by
[TABLE]
where is any even positive cut-off function which could be replaced by a step function up to some mathematical difficulties investigated in [16]. This means that counts the spectral values of less than the mass scale (note that the resolvent of is compact since, by assumption, the same is true for , see Lemma 3.1 below).
In [18], the spectral action on NC-tori has been computed only for operators of the form and computed for in [20]. It appears that the implementation of the real structure via , does change the spectral action, up to a coefficient when the torus has dimension 4. Here we prove that this can be also directly obtained from the Chamseddine–Connes analysis of [4] that we follow quite closely. Actually,

Moreover, the coefficient related to the constant term in (5) can be computed from the unperturbed spectral action since it has been proved in [4] (with an invertible Dirac operator and a 1-form such that is also invertible) that
[TABLE]
using . We will see how this formula can be extended to the case a noninvertible Dirac operator and noninvertible perturbation of the form where .
All this results on spectral action are quite important in physics, especially in quantum field theory and particle physics, where one adds to the effective action some counterterms explicitly given by (6), see for instance [2, 3, 4, 5, 17, 22, 18, 20, 28, 35, 36, 37, 38].
Since the computation of zeta functions is crucial here, we investigate in section 2 residues of series and integrals. This section contains independent interesting results on the holomorphy of series of holomorphic functions. In particular, the necessity of a Diophantine constraint is naturally emphasized.
In section 3, we revisit the notions of pseudodifferential operators and their associated zeta functions and of dimension spectrum. The reality operator is incorporated and we pay a particular attention to kernels of operators which can play a role in the constant term of (5). This section concerns general spectral triple with simple dimension spectrum.
Section 4 is devoted to the example of the noncommutative torus. It is shown that it has a vanishing tadpole.
In section 5, all previous technical points are then widely used for the computation of terms in (5) or (6).
Finally, the spectral action (6) is obtained in section 6 and we conjecture that the noncommutative spectral action of has terms proportional to the spectral action of on the commutative torus.

2.1 Residues of series and integral
In order to be able to compute later the residues of certain series, we prove here the following
Theorem 2.1**.**
Let be a polynomial function where is the homogeneous part of of degree . The function
[TABLE]
has a meromorphic continuation to the whole complex plane .
Moreover is not entire if and only if . In that case, has only simple poles at the points , , with
[TABLE]
The proof of this theorem is based on the following lemmas.
Lemma 2.2**.**
For any polynomial of total degree and any , we have
[TABLE]
uniformly in verifying , where .
Proof.
By linearity, we may assume without loss of generality that is a monomial. It is easy to prove (for example by induction on ) that for all and :
[TABLE]
It follows that for all , we have uniformly in verifying :
[TABLE]
By Leibniz formula and (7), we have uniformly in verifying :
[TABLE]
Lemma 2.3**.**
Let be a polynomial of degree . Then, the difference
[TABLE]
which is defined for , extends holomorphically on the whole complex plane .
Proof.
We fix in the sequel a function verifying for all
[TABLE]
The function , and , is in and depends holomorphically on .
Lemma 2.2 above shows that is a “gauged symbol” in the terminology of [24, p. 4]. Thus [24, Theorem 2.1] implies that extends holomorphically on the whole complex plane . However, to be complete, we will give here a short proof of Lemma 2.3:
It follows from the classical Euler–Maclaurin formula that for any function of class verifying and for any , that we have
[TABLE]
where is the Bernoulli function of order (it is a bounded periodic function.)
Fix and . Applying this to the function (we use Lemma 2.2 to verify hypothesis), we obtain that for any :
[TABLE]
where .
By Lemma 2.2,
[TABLE]
Thus converges absolutely and define a holomorphic function in the half plane .
Since is an arbitrary integer, by letting and using above, we conclude that:
[TABLE]
has a holomorphic continuation to the whole complex plane .
After iterations, we obtain that
[TABLE]
has a holomorphic continuation to the whole .
To finish the proof of Lemma 2.3, it is enough to notice that:
and , ;
is a holomorphic function on . ∎
Proof of Theorem 2.1.
Using the polar decomposition of the volume form in , we get for ,
[TABLE]
Lemma 2.3 now gives the result. ∎
2.2 Holomorphy of certain series
Before stating the main result of this section, we give first in the following some preliminaries from Diophantine approximation theory:
Definition 2.4**.**
*(i) Let . A vector is said to be diophantine if there exists such that , and .
We note the set of diophantine vectors and the set of diophantine vectors.*
(ii) A matrix (real matrices) will be said to be diophantine if there exists such that is a diophantine vector of .
Remark. A classical result from Diophantine approximation asserts that for all , the Lebesgue measure of is zero (i.e almost any element of is diophantine.)
Let . If its row of index is a diophantine vector of (i.e. if ) then and thus is a diophantine matrix. It follows that almost any matrix of is diophantine.
The goal of this section is to show the following
Theorem 2.5**.**
Let be a homogeneous polynomial of degree and let be in ( times, ). Then,
(i) Let . We define .
*1. If , then has a meromorphic continuation to the whole complex plane .
Moreover if is the unit sphere and its Lebesgue measure, then is not entire if and only if . In that case, has only a simple pole at the point , with .*
2. If , then extends holomorphically to the whole complex plane .
(ii) Suppose that is diophantine. For any , the function
[TABLE]
extends meromorphically to the whole complex plane with only one possible pole on .
Moreover, if we set and , then
1. If , then is a simple pole of and
[TABLE]
2. If , then extends holomorphically to the whole complex plane .
(iii) Suppose that is diophantine. For any , the function
[TABLE]
where extends holomorphically to the whole complex plane .
Proof of Theorem 2.5: First we remark that
If then . So, the point follows from Theorem 2.1;
. Thus, the point rises
easily from and Theorem 2.1.
So, to complete the proof, it remains to prove the items and .
The direct proof of is easy but is not sufficient to deduce of which the proof is more delicate and requires a more precise (i.e. more effective) version of . The next lemma gives such crucial version, but before, let us give some notations:
[TABLE]
We set degdeg, the degree of .
By convention we set deg.
Lemma 2.6**.**
Let . We assume that for some . For all , we define formally,
[TABLE]
Then for all , all and all , there exist positive constants , and such that extends holomorphically to the half-plane and verifies in it:
[TABLE]
Remark 2.7**.**
The important point here is that we obtain an explicit bound of in which depends on the vector only through , so depends on and indirectly on (in the sequel, will vary.) In particular the constants , and do not depend on the vector but only on . This is crucial for the proof of items and of Theorem 2.5!
2.2.1 Proof of Lemma 2.6 for :
Let be a fixed integer, and set .
We will prove Lemma 2.6 by induction on deg. More precisely, in order to prove case , it suffices to prove that:
Lemma 2.6 is true for all verifying deg.
Let with . If Lemma 2.6 is true for all such that deg,
then it is also true for all satisfying deg.
Step 1: Checking Lemma 2.6 for deg.
Let verifying deg. It is easy to see that we have uniformly in and in :
[TABLE]
It follows that converges absolutely and defines a holomorphic function in the half plane . Therefore, we have for any :
[TABLE]
Thus, Lemma 2.6 is true when deg.
Step 2: Induction.
Now let satisfying and suppose that Lemma 2.6 is valid for all verifying deg. Let with deg. We will prove that also verifies conclusions of Lemma 2.6:
There exist of degree and such that and deg.
Since uniformly in , we deduce that converges absolutely in .
Since is a bijection from into , it follows that we also have for
[TABLE]
Let . We have uniformly in
[TABLE]
Thus, for ,
[TABLE]
Set and .
Set also for all .
Since , it follows from (9) that
[TABLE]
where is a holomorphic function in the half plane , in which it satisfies the bound .
Moreover it is easy to see that, for any ,
[TABLE]
Relation (10) and the induction hypothesis imply then that
[TABLE]
Since , then (11) implies that satisfies conclusions of Lemma 2.6. This completes the induction and the proof for .
2.2.2 Proof of Lemma 2.6 for :
Let be a fixed integer. Let and deg where is the degree of the polynomial . Set also .
Since for , it follows that and converge absolutely in the half plane .
Moreover, we have for verifying :
[TABLE]
In addition we have uniformly in verifying ,
[TABLE]
So (2.2.2) and Lemma 2.6 for imply that Lemma 2.6 is also true for . This completes the proof of Lemma 2.6. ∎
2.2.3 Proof of item of Theorem 2.5:
Since , there exists such that . In particular . Therefore, satisfies the assumption of Lemma 2.6 with . Thus, for all , has a holomorphic continuation to the half-plane . It follows, by letting , that has a holomorphic continuation to the whole complex plane .
2.2.4 Proof of item of Theorem 2.5:
Let , and . We assume that is a diophantine matrix. Set and of degree .
It is easy to see that for :
[TABLE]
So
[TABLE]
converges absolutely in the half plane .
Moreover with the notations of Lemma 2.6, we have for all verifying :
[TABLE]
But is diophantine, so there exists and such
[TABLE]
We deduce that
[TABLE]
It follows that there exists , and such that
[TABLE]
Therefore, for any , the vector verifies the assumption of Lemma 2.6 with the same . Moreover and in (14) are also independent on .
We fix now . Lemma 2.6 implies that there exist positive constants , and such that for all , extends holomorphically to the half plane and verifies in it the bound
[TABLE]
This and (14) imply that for any compact set included in the half plane , there exist two constants and (independent on ) such that
[TABLE]
It follows that has a holomorphic continuation to the half plane .
This and ( 13) imply that has a holomorphic continuation to . Since is an arbitrary integer, by letting , it follows that has a holomorphic continuation to the whole complex plane which completes the proof of the theorem. ∎
Remark 2.8**.**
*By equation (11), we see that a Diophantine condition is sufficient to get Lemma 2.6. Our Diophantine condition appears also (in equivalent form) in Connes [7, Prop. 49] (see Remark 4.2 below). The following heuristic argument shows that our condition seems to be necessary in order to get the result of Theorem 2.5:
For simplicity we assume (but the argument extends easily to any ).
Let . We know (see this reflection formula in [15, p. 6]) that for any ,*
[TABLE]
So, for any , the existence of meromorphic continuation of is equivalent to the existence of meromorphic continuation of
[TABLE]
So, for at least one , we must have
It follows that for any , uniformly in . Therefore, our Diophantine condition seems to be necessary.
2.2.5 Commutation between sum and residue
Let . Recall that is the set of the Schwartz sequences on . In other words, if and only if for all , is bounded on . We note that if is a polynomial, , and a real-valued function, then is a Schwartz sequence on , where
[TABLE]
In the following, we will use several times the fact that for any such that and , we have
[TABLE]
Lemma 2.9**.**
There exists a polynomial of degree and with positive coefficients such that for any , and such that and for all , the following holds:
[TABLE]
Proof.
Let’s fix such that . Using two times (16), Cauchy–Schwarz inequality and the fact that , we get
[TABLE]
Since , and if , we find
[TABLE]
Taking P(X_{1},\cdots,X_{p}):=5^{p}\big{(}1+4({\sum}_{j=1}^{p}X_{j})^{4}\big{)}^{p} now gives the result. ∎
Lemma 2.10**.**
Let , , be a homogeneous polynomial function of degree , , , , be a real-valued function on and
[TABLE]
with if, for , one of the denominators is zero.
For all such that , the series
[TABLE]
is absolutely summable. In particular,
[TABLE]
Proof.
Let such that . By Lemma 2.9 we get, for ,
[TABLE]
where and is a polynomial of degree with positive coefficients. Thus, where and . The summability of is implied by the fact that . The summability of is a consequence of the fact that . Finally, as a product of two summable series, is a summable series, which proves that is also absolutely summable. ∎
Definition 2.11**.**
Let be a function on where is an open neighborhood of [math] in .
We say that satisfies (H1) if and only if there exists such that
(i) for any , extends as a holomorphic function on , where is the open disk of center 0 and radius ,
*(ii) the series is summable,where .
We say that satisfies (H2) if and only if there exists such that*
(i) for any , extends as a holomorphic function on ,
(ii) for any such that , the series is summable, where .
Remark 2.12**.**
Note that (H1) implies (H2). Moreover, if satisfies (H1) (resp. (H2) for , then it is straightforward to check that extends as an holomorphic function on (resp. on ).
Corollary 2.13**.**
With the same notations of Lemma 2.10, suppose that , then, the function satisfies (H1).
Proof.
Let’s fix such that . Since , is inside the half-plane of absolute convergence of the series defined by . Thus, is holomorphic on .
Since \big{|}|k|^{-s}\big{|}\leq|k|^{\rho} for all and , we get as in the above proof
[TABLE]
Since , the series is summable.
Thus, where . We have already seen that the series is summable, so we get the result. ∎
We note that if and both satisfy (H1) (or (H2)), then so does . In the following, we will use the equivalence relation
[TABLE]
Lemma 2.14**.**
Let and be two functions on where is an open neighborhood of [math] in , such that and such that satisfies (H2). Then
[TABLE]
Proof.
Since , satisfies (H2) for a certain . Let’s fix such that and define as the circle of center 0 and radius . We have
[TABLE]
where and . The fact that satisfies (H2) entails that the series is summable. Thus, since , the series is summable, so, as a consequence, which gives the result. ∎
2.3 Computation of residues of zeta functions
Since, we will have to compute residues of series, let us introduce the following
Definition 2.15**.**
[TABLE]
where is the Riemann zeta function (see [25] or [14]).
By the symmetry , it is clear that these functions all vanish for odd values of .
Let us now compute in terms of :
Since , exchanging the components and , we get
[TABLE]
Similarly,
[TABLE]
but it is difficult to write explicitly in terms of and other when at least four indices are non zero.
When all are even, is a nonzero series of fractions where is a homogeneous polynomial of degree . Theorem 2.1 now gives us the following
Proposition 2.16**.**
* has a meromorphic extension to the whole plane with a unique pole at . This pole is simple and the residue at this pole is*
[TABLE]
*when all are even or this residue is zero otherwise.
In particular, for ,*
[TABLE]
and for ,
[TABLE]
Proof.
Equation (17) follows from Theorem (2.1)
[TABLE]
and standard formulae (see for instance [32, VIII,1;22]). Equation (18) is a straightforward consequence of Equation (17). Equation (19) can be checked for the cases and . ∎
Note that is an Epstein zeta function associated to the quadratic form , so satisfies the following functional equation
[TABLE]
Since for any negative even integer and is meromorphic on with only one pole at with residue according to previous proposition, so we get . We have proved that

[TABLE]
2.4.2 Residues of a class of zeta functions
In this section we will prove the following result, used in Proposition 5.4 for the computation of the spectrum dimension of the noncommutative torus:
Theorem 2.17**.**
(i) Let be a diophantine matrix, and \widetilde{a}\in\mathcal{S}\big{(}(\mathbb{Z}^{n})^{2q}\big{)}. Then
[TABLE]
has a meromorphic continuation to the whole complex plane with at most simple possible poles at the points where .
(ii) Let and set . Then is a finite set and is a pole of if and only if
[TABLE]
with and the convention . In that case is a simple pole of residue .
In order to prove the theorem above we need the following
Lemma 2.18**.**
For all we have
[TABLE]
uniformly in and verifying .
Proof.
For , we have uniformly in and verifying ,
[TABLE]
In that case,

In particular , and . Inequality (23) implies that for all and for all ,

Let . We deduce from the previous that for any and verifying and for all , we have
[TABLE]
It follows that for any , we have uniformly in and verifying and for all ,
[TABLE]
where for all and
[TABLE]

Proof of Theorem 2.17.
All , , and are fixed as above and we define formally for any
[TABLE]
Thus, still formally,
[TABLE]
It is clear that converges absolutely in the half plane where .
Let . Lemma 2.18 implies that for any and for such that ,
[TABLE]
where is a holomorphic function in the half-plane and verifies in it the bound uniformly in .
It follows that
[TABLE]

[TABLE]
In particular there exists such that extends holomorphically to the half-plane and verifies in it the bound uniformly in .
Let us note formally
[TABLE]
Equation (26) and imply that
[TABLE]
where means modulo a holomorphic function in .
Recall the decomposition and we decompose similarly Theorem 2.5 now implies that for all and ,
-
the map has a meromorphic continuation to the whole complex plane with only one simple possible pole at ,
-
the residue at this point is equal to
[TABLE]
where . If the right hand side is zero, is holomorphic on .
By (27), we deduce therefore that has a meromorphic continuation on the halfplane , with only simple possible poles in the set Taking now yields the result.
Let and set . If , then and , so is finite.
With a chosen such that , we get by (27) and (28)
[TABLE]
with the convention . Thus, is a pole of if and only if . ∎
3 Noncommutative integration on a simple spectral triple
In this section, we revisit the notion of noncommutative integral pioneered by Alain Connes, paying particular attention to the reality (Tomita–Takesaki) operator and to kernels of perturbed Dirac operators by symmetrized one-forms.
3.1 Kernel dimension
We will have to compare here the kernels of and which are both finite dimensional:
Lemma 3.1**.**
Let be a spectral triple with a reality operator and chirality . If is a one-form, the fluctuated Dirac operator
[TABLE]
(where , ) is an operator with compact resolvent, and in particular its kernel is a finite dimensional space. This space is invariant by and .
Proof.
Let be a bounded operator and let be in the resolvent of and be in the resolvent of . Then
[TABLE]
Since is compact by hypothesis and since the term in bracket is bounded, has a compact resolvent. Applying this to , has a finite dimensional kernel (see for instance [27, Theorem 6.29]).
Since according to the dimension, , commutes or anticommutes with , commutes with the elements in the algebra and (see [10] or [23, p. 405]), we get and which gives the result. ∎
3.2 Pseudodifferential operators
Let be a given real regular spectral triple of dimension .
We note
[TABLE]
and are thus finite-rank selfadjoint bounded operators. We remark that and are selfadjoint invertible operators with compact inverses.
Remark 3.2**.**
Since we only need to compute the residues and the value at 0 of the , functions, it is not necessary to define the operators or and the associated zeta functions. However, we can remark that all the work presented here could be done using the process of Higson in [26] which proves that we can add any smoothing operator to or such that the result is invertible without changing anything to the computation of residues.
Define for any
[TABLE]
where since . Define
[TABLE]
It has been shown in [13] that . In particular, is a subalgebra of (while elements of are not necessarily bounded for ) and , , . Note that and .
For any , and and are in and for any and are in . By hypothesis, so for any , .
Lemma 3.3**.**
[13]**
(i) For any and , .
(ii) For any , .
(iii) If , .
(iv) For any , .
(v) For any and , .
Proof.
See the appendix. ∎
Remark 3.4**.**
Any operator in , where , extends as a continuous linear operator from to where the spaces have their natural norms (see [13, 26]).
We now introduce a definition of pseudodifferential operators in a slightly different way than in [13, 9, 26] which in particular pays attention to the reality operator and the kernel of and allows and to be a pseudodifferential operators. It is more in the spirit of [4].
Definition 3.5**.**
Let us define as the polynomial algebra generated by , , and .
A pseudodifferential operator is an operator such that there exists such that for any , there exist , and (, and may depend on ) such that and
[TABLE]
Define as the set of pseudodifferential operators and .
Note that if is a 1-form, and are in and moreover . Since by construction and is a pseudodifferential operator, for any , is a pseudodifferential operator (in .) Let us remark also that .
Lemma 3.6**.**
The set of all pseudodifferential operators is an algebra. Moreover, if and , then .*
Proof.
See the appendix. ∎
Due to the little difference of behavior between scalar and nonscalar pseudodifferential operators (i.e. when coefficients like , appears in of Definition 3.5), it is convenient to also introduce
Definition 3.7**.**
Let be the algebra generated by , and , and be the set of pseudodifferential operators constructed as before with instead of . Note that is subalgebra of .
Remark that does not necessarily contain operators such as where is odd. This algebra is similar to the one defined in [4].
3.3 Zeta functions and dimension spectrum
For any operator and if is either or , we define
[TABLE]
The dimension spectrum of a spectral triple has been defined in [9, 13]. It is extended here to pay attention to the operator and to our definition of pseudodifferential operator.
Definition 3.8**.**
The spectrum dimension of the spectral triple is the subset of all poles of the functions \zeta_{D}^{P}:=s\mapsto\operatorname{Tr}\big{(}P|D|^{-s}\big{)} where is any pseudodifferential operator in . The spectral triple is simple when these poles are all simple.
Remark 3.9**.**
If denotes the set of all poles of the functions s\mapsto\operatorname{Tr}\big{(}P|D|^{-s}\big{)} where is any pseudodifferential operator, then, .

We remark, as in [11], that the fluctuations leave invariant the first term of the spectral action (5). This is a generalization of the fact that in the commutative case, the noncommutative integral depends only on the principal symbol of the Dirac operator and this symbol is stable by adding a gauge potential like in . Note however that the symmetrized gauge potential is always zero in this case for any selfadjoint one-form .

5 The noncommutative torus
5.1 Notations
Let be the smooth noncommutative -torus associated to a non-zero skew-symmetric deformation matrix (see [6], [30]). This means that is the algebra generated by unitaries , subject to the relations
[TABLE]
and with Schwartz coefficients: an element can be written as , where with the Weyl elements defined by , , relation (40) reads
[TABLE]
where is the matrix restriction of to its upper triangular part. Thus unitary operators satisfy and .
Let be the trace on defined by \tau\big{(}\sum_{k\in\mathbb{Z}^{n}}a_{k}\,U_{k}\big{)}:=a_{0} and be the GNS Hilbert space obtained by completion of with respect of the norm induced by the scalar product . On , we consider the left and right regular representations of by bounded operators, that we denote respectively by and .
Let also , , be the (pairwise commuting) canonical derivations, defined by
[TABLE]
We need to fix notations: let acting on with or (i.e., is the integer part of ), the square integrable sections of the trivial spin bundle over .
Each element of is represented on as where (resp. ) is the left (resp. right) multiplication. The Tomita conjugation satisfies and we define where is an operator on . The Dirac operator is given by
[TABLE]
where we use hermitian Dirac matrices . It is defined and symmetric on the dense subset of given by . We still note its selfadjoint extension. This implies
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
where is the canonical basis of . Moreover, depending on the parity of . Finally, one introduces the chirality (which in the even case is ) and this yields that satisfies all axioms of a spectral triple, see [8, 23].
The perturbed Dirac operator by the unitary
[TABLE]
defined for every unitary , , must satisfy condition (3) (which is equivalent to being endowed with a structure of -bimodule). This yields the necessity of a symmetrized covariant Dirac operator:
[TABLE]
since : in fact, for , using , we get
[TABLE]
and that the representation and the anti-representation are -linear, commute and satisfy
[TABLE]
This induces some covariance property for the Dirac operator: one checks that for all ,
[TABLE]
so with (44), we get and
[TABLE]
Moreover, we get the gauge transformation:
[TABLE]
where the gauged transform one-form of is
[TABLE]
with the shorthand .
As a consequence, the spectral action is gauge invariant:
[TABLE]
An arbitrary selfadjoint one-form , can be written as

This is a direct consequence of (47). ∎
Corollary 5.2**.**

This is a consequence of the fact that the algebra is commutative, thus . ∎
Note that if , then by (45), for all and , but for an arbitrary unitary , so .
Naturally the above result is also a direct consequence of the fact that the eigenspace of an isolated eigenvalue of an operator is not modified by small perturbations. However, it is interesting to compute the last result directly to emphasize the difficulty of the general case:
Let , so . We have to show that Ker that is when .
Taking the scalar product of with
[TABLE]

If with , note that and
[TABLE]
Thus

We conjecture that at least for generic ’s:
the constraints (53) should imply for all and all meaning . When has only integer coefficients, the sin part of these constraints disappears giving the result.

The function can be decomposed has a linear combination of zeta function of type described in Theorem 2.17 (or, if or all the are zero, in Theorem 2.5). Thus, s\mapsto\operatorname{Tr}\big{(}B|D|^{-2p-s}\big{)} has only poles in and each pole is simple. Finally, by linearity, we get the result. ∎
The dimension spectrum of the noncommutative torus is simple:
Proposition 5.4**.**
(i) If is diophantine, the spectrum dimension of \big{(}C^{\infty}(\mathbb{T}^{n}_{\Theta}),\mathcal{H},\mathcal{D}\big{)} is equal to the set and all these poles are simple.
(ii)

As we have seen, the crucial point of the preceding lemma is the decomposition of the numerator of the series as polynomials in . This has been possible because we restricted our pseudodifferential operators to .

6 The spectral action
Here is the main result of this section.
Theorem 6.1**.**
Consider the -NC-torus \big{(}C^{\infty}(\mathbb{T}^{n}_{\Theta}),\mathcal{H},\mathcal{D}\big{)} where and is a real skew-symmetric real diophantine matrix, and a selfadjoint one-form . Then, the full spectral action of is
(i) for ,
[TABLE]
(ii) for ,
[TABLE]
(iii) More generally, in
[TABLE]
, for odd. In particular, when is odd.
This result (for ) has also been obtained in [20] using the heat kernel method. It is however interesting to get the result via direct computations of (5) since it shows how this formula is efficient. As we will see, the computation of all the noncommutative integrals require a lot of technical steps. One of the main points, namely to isolate where the Diophantine condition on is assumed, is outlined here.
Remark 6.2**.**
Note that all terms must be gauge invariants, namely, according to (48), invariant by . A particular case is where .
In the same way, note that there is no contradiction with the commutative case where, for any selfadjoint one-form , (so is equivalent to 0!), since we assume in Theorem 6.1 that is diophantine, so cannot be commutative.
Conjecture 6.3**.**
The constant term of the spectral action of on the noncommutative n-torus is proportional to the constant term of the spectral action of on the commutative n-torus.
Remark 6.4**.**
The appearance of a Diophantine condition for has been characterized in dimension 2 by Connes [7, Prop. 49] where in this case, with . In fact, the Hochschild cohomology satisfies dim (or ) for (or ) if and only if the irrational number satisfies a Diophantine condition like for some .
Recall that when the matrix is quite irrational (see [23, Cor. 2.12]), then the C∗-algebra generated by is simple.
Remark 6.5**.**
It is possible to generalize above theorem to the case instead of (43) when is a positive definite constant matrix. The formulae in Theorem 6.1 are still valid.

[TABLE]
By hypothesis s\mapsto\operatorname{Tr}\big{(}P\varepsilon^{r}(Q)|D|^{-s}\big{)} has only simple poles. Thus, since is a zero of the analytic function for any , we have \underset{s=0}{\operatorname{Res}}\ g(-s,r)\,\operatorname{Tr}\big{(}P\varepsilon^{r}(Q)|D|^{-s}\big{)}=0, which entails that \underset{s=0}{\operatorname{Res}}\ \operatorname{Tr}\big{(}P[Q,|D|^{-s}]\big{)}=0 and thus
[TABLE]
When with , the operator is trace-class while is bounded, so \operatorname{Tr}\big{(}P|D|^{-s}Q\big{)}=\operatorname{Tr}\big{(}|D|^{-s/2}QP|D|^{-s/2}\big{)}=\operatorname{Tr}\big{(}\sigma_{-s/2}(QP)|D|^{-s}\big{)}. Thus, using (29) again,
[TABLE]
As before, for any , \underset{s=0}{\operatorname{Res}}\ g(-s/2,r)\operatorname{Tr}\big{(}\varepsilon^{r}(QP)|D|^{-s}\big{)}=0 since and the spectral triple is simple. Finally,
