Fuzzy Onion as a Matrix Model

High Energy Physics - Theory 2024-01-30 v3

Abstract

We propose a matrix model realisation of a three-dimensional quantum space. It has an onion-like structure composed of concentric fuzzy spheres of increasing radius. The angular part of the Laplace operator is inherited from that of the fuzzy sphere. The radial part is constructed using operators that relate matrices of various sizes using the matrix harmonic expansion. As an example of this approach, we produce a numerical simulation of a scalar quantum field theory, the classical heat transfer, study the quantum mechanical hydrogen atom, and consider some analytical aspects of the scalar field theory on this space.
