Abstract
We construct a Connes spectral triple or `Dirac operator' on the non-reduced fuzzy sphere as realised using quantum Riemannian geometry with a central quantum metric of Euclidean signature and its associated quantum Levi-Civita connection. The Dirac operator is characterised uniquely up to unitary equivalence within our quantum Riemannian geometric setting and an assumption that the spinor bundle is trivial and rank 2 with a central basis. The spectral triple has KO dimension 3 and in the case of the round metric, essentially recovers a previous proposal motivated by rotational symmetry.
