Fuzzy spectral triples are a finite version of the celebrated spectral triples of Alain Connes that constitute the cornerstone of noncommutative Riemannian (spin) geometry. Since fuzzy spectral triples are fully classified, they form a good setting for studying random noncommutative geometry. In particular, their finite nature allows for a rigorous formulation and study of the path integral over the space of geometries, leading to toy-models for quantum gravity. The new aspect of our work is that we take into account the noncommutative analogue of diffeomorphism symmetries in the formulation of such path integrals, which we will implement through suitable homological methods.

This is joint work with J. Gaunt and A. Schenkel.
