Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Physics ((LNP,volume 543))

Abstract

A review is made of some recent results in noncommutative geometry, including its use as a regularization procedure. Efforts to add a gravitational field to noncommutative models of space-time are also reviewed. Special emphasis is placed on the case which could be considered as the noncommutative analogue of a parallelizable space-time.
