3 Two topics of current interest to cosmologists: Modified Gravity models in cosmology: Einstein-Hilbert action (+cosmological term) replaced or extended with other gravity terms (conformal gravity, higher derivative terms) cosmological predictions The question of Cosmic Topology: Nontrivial (non-simply-connected) spatial sections of spacetime, homogeneous spherical or flat spaces: how can this be detected from cosmological observations?
4 Our approach: NCG provides a modified gravity model through the spectral action The nonperturbative form of the spectral action determines a slow-roll inflation potential The underlying geometry (spherical/flat) affects the shape of the potential (possible models of inflation) Different inflation scenarios depending on geometry More refined topological properties? (coupling to matter)
5 The noncommutative space X F extra dimensions product of 4-dim spacetime and finite NC space The spectral action functional Tr(f (D A /Λ)) J ξ, D A ξ D A = D + A + ε J A J 1 Dirac operator with inner fluctuations A = A = k a k[d, b k ] Action functional for gravity on X (modified gravity) Gravity on X F = gravity coupled to matter on X

34 Conclusion (for now) A modified gravity model based on the spectral action cannot rule out most likely cosmic topology candidates (dodecahedral, quaternionic) but can distinguish the spherical candidates from the flat ones on the basis of different inflation scenarios!
