Differential calculus and gauge theory on finite sets

We develop differential calculus and gauge theory on a finite set G. An elegant formulation is obtained when G is supplied with a group structure and in particular for a cyclic group. Connes' two-point model (1986) (which is an essential ingredient of his reformulation of the standard model of elementary particle physics) is recovered in our approach. Reductions of the universal differential calculus to 'lower-dimensional' differential calculi are considered. The 'complete reduction' leads to a differential calculus on a periodic lattice.
