Entanglement Edge Modes of General Noncommutative Matrix Backgrounds

We explore the structure of entanglement edge modes on noncommutative backgrounds that arise from matrix quantum mechanics. For the fuzzy sphere, despite nonlocality and UV/IR mixing, we find area law behavior in the dominant $U(N)$ representations governing the state of the edge modes. For general noncommutative backgrounds with no global symmetry, nonlocal effects resum into a smoothly varying coupling constant that deforms the metric to a different frame. The effect is analogous to the relationship between string frame and Einstein frame in string theory.
