Abstract

We find new spontaneously generated fuzzy extra dimensions emerging from a certain deformation of N=4N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory with cubic soft supersymmetry breaking and mass deformation terms. First, we determine a particular four dimensional fuzzy vacuum that may be expressed in terms of a direct sum of product of two fuzzy spheres, and denote it in short as SF2Int×SF2IntS_F^{2\, Int}\times S_F^{2\, Int}. The direct sum structure of the vacuum is revealed by a suitable splitting of the scalar fields in the model in a manner that generalizes our approach in \cite{Seckinson}. Fluctuations around this vacuum have the structure of gauge fields over SF2Int×SF2IntS_F^{2\, Int}\times S_F^{2\, Int}, and this enables us to conjecture the spontaneous broken model as an effective U(n)U(n) (n<N)(n < {\cal N}) gauge theory on the product manifold M4×SF2Int×SF2IntM^4 \times S_F^{2\, Int} \times S_F^{2\, Int}. We support this interpretation by examining the U(4)U(4) theory and determining all of the SU(2)×SU(2)SU(2)\times SU(2) equivariant fields in the model, characterizing its low energy degrees of freedom. Monopole sectors with winding numbers (±1,0),(0,±1),(±1,±1)(\pm 1,0),\,(0,\pm1),\,(\pm1,\pm 1) are accessed from SF2Int×SF2IntS_F^{2\, Int}\times S_F^{2\, Int} after suitable projections and subsequently equivariant fields in these sectors are obtained. We indicate how Abelian Higgs type models with vortex solutions emerge after dimensionally reducing over the fuzzy monopole sectors as well. A family of fuzzy vacua is determined by giving a systematic treatment for the splitting of the scalar fields and it is made manifest that suitable projections of these vacuum solutions yield all higher winding number fuzzy monopole sectors. We observe that the vacuum configuration SF2Int×SF2IntS_F^{2\, Int}\times S_F^{2\, Int} identifies with the bosonic part of the product of two fuzzy superspheres with OSP(2,2)×OSP(2,2)OSP(2,2)\times OSP(2,2) supersymmetry and elaborate on this feature.
