Abstract

We study the eigenvalue equation for the 'Cartesian coordinates' observables xix_i on the fully O(2)O(2)-covariant fuzzy circle {SΛ1}ΛN\{S^1_\Lambda\}_{\Lambda\in\mathbb{N}} (i=1,2i=1,2) and on the fully O(3)O(3)-covariant fuzzy 2-sphere {SΛ2}ΛN\{S^2_\Lambda\}_{\Lambda\in\mathbb{N}} (i=1,2,3i=1,2,3) introduced in [G. Fiore, F. Pisacane, J. Geom. Phys. 132 (2018), 423-451]. We show that the spectrum and eigenvectors of xix_i fulfill a number of properties which are expected for xix_i to approximate well the corresponding coordinate operator of a quantum particle forced to stay on the unit sphere.
