Abstract: | In earlier work, we derived an expression for a partition function ?(λ), and gave a set of analytic hypotheses under which ?(λ) does not depend on a parameter λ. The proof that ?(λ) is invariant involved entire cyclic cohomology and K-theory. Here we give a direct proof that . The considerations apply to non-commutative geometry, to super-symmetric quantum theory, to string theory, and to generalizations
of these theories to underlying quantum spaces.
