Abstract

We extend the results of Riemannian geometry over finite groups and provide a full classification of all linear connections for the minimal noncommutative differential calculus over a finite cyclic group. We solve the torsion-free and metric compatibility condition in general and show that there are several classes of solutions, out of which only special ones are compatible with a metric that gives a Hilbert C∗-module structure on the space of the one-forms. We compute curvature and scalar curvature for these metrics and find their continuous limits.
