We study the dynamics of fuzzy two-spheres in a matrix model which represents string theory in the presence of RR flux. We analyze the stability of known static solutions of such a theory which contain commuting matrices and SU(2)…
Noncommutative quantum field theory of a complex scalar field is considered. There is a two-coupling noncommutative analogue of U(1)-invariant quartic interaction $(\phi^*\phi)^2$, namely $A\phi^*\star\phi\star\phi^*\star\phi+…
We introduce the fuzzy supersphere as sequence of finite-dimensional, noncommutative $Z_{2}$-graded algebras tending in a suitable limit to a dense subalgebra of the $Z_{2}$-graded algebra of ${\cal H}^{\infty}$-functions on the $(2|…
The rank-three tensor models, which have a rank-three tensor as their only dynamical variable, may be interpreted as models of dynamical fuzzy spaces. In this interpretation, the generalized Hermiticity condition on the rank-three tensor…
In these notes we review Klimcik's construction of noncommutative gauge theory on the fuzzy supersphere. This theory has an exact SUSY gauge symmetry with a finite number of degrees of freedom and thus in principle it is amenable to the…
Certain higher dimensional operators of the lagrangian may render the vacuum inhomogeneous. A rather rich phase structure of the phi4 scalar model in four dimensions is presented by means of the mean-field approximation. One finds para-…
We analyze the dynamical system defined by a universe filled with a barotropic fluid plus a scalar field with modified kinetic term of the form L = F (X) - V (phi). After a suitable choice of variables that allows us to study the phase…

We study the phase structure of a 4D complex scalar field theory with a potential V(Phi) = | Lambda^3 / Phi - Lambda Phi |^2 at zero and at finite temperature. The model is analyzed by mean field and Monte Carlo methods. At zero temperature…
We study relations between different kinds of non-commutative spheres which have appeared in the context of ADS/CFT correspondences recently, emphasizing the connections between spaces that have manifest quantum group symmetry and spaces…
We study dynamics of a membrane and its matrix regularisation. We present the matrix regularisation for a membrane propagating in a curved space-time geometry in the presence of an arbitrary 3-form field. In the matrix regularisation, we…
Gravitational theories with multiple scalar fields coupled to the metric and each other --- a natural extension of the well studied single-scalar-tensor theories --- are interesting phenomenological frameworks to describe deviations from…
We study the noncommutative $\phi^4$ theory with spontaneously broken global O(2) symmetry in 4 dimensions. We demonstrate the renormalizability at one loop. This does not require any choice of ordering of the fields in the interaction…
Fuzzy spaces like the fuzzy sphere or the fuzzy torus have received remarkable attention, since they appeared as objects in string theory. Although there are many higher dimensional examples, the most known and most studied fuzzy spaces are…
The techniques developed for matrix models and fuzzy geometry are powerful tools for representing strings and membranes in quantum physics. We study the representation of fuzzy surfaces using these techniques. This involves constructing…
We examine gauge theories on Minkowski space-time times fuzzy coset spaces. This means that the extra space dimensions instead of being a continuous coset space S/R are a corresponding finite matrix approximation. The gauge theory defined…

In the recent years, field theory on non-commutative (NC) spaces has attracted a lot of attention. Most literature on this subject deals with perturbation theory, although the latter runs into grave problems beyond one loop. Here we present…
A matrix algebra is constructed which consists of the necessary degrees of freedom for a finite approximation to the algebra of functions on the family of orthogonal Grassmannians of real dimension 2N, known as complex quadrics. These…
