Abstract
Generalizing previous results for orbifolds, in this paper we describe the compactification of the matrix model on an orientifold which is a quotient space (Formula presented) as a Yang-Mills theory residing on a quantum space. The information of the compactification is encoded in the action of the discrete symmetry group (Formula presented) on Euclidean space (Formula presented) and a projective representation U of (Formula presented) The choice of Hilbert space on which the algebra of U is realized as an operator algebra corresponds to the choice of a physical background for the compactification. All these data are summarized in the spectral triple of the quantum space. © 1999 The American Physical Society.
