Abstract

We propose two non-abelian Chern-Simons matrix models as the effective descriptions of 4-dimensional quantum Hall fluids. One of them describes a new type of 4-dimensional quantum Hall fluid on the space of quaternions, the other provides the description of non-commutative field theory for Zhang and Hu's 4-dimensional quantum Hall fluid of S4S^4. The complete sets of physical quantum states of these matrix models are determined, and the properties of quantum Hall fluids related with them are discussed.
