A family of fuzzy orbifolds are generated by looking at sub-algebras of the fuzzy sphere. One of them is actually commutative and can be mapped exactly onto a lattice. The others are fuzzy approximations of S^2/Z_N where Z_N is the cyclic…
We review some recent progress in quantum field theory in non-commutative space, focusing onto the fuzzy sphere as a non-perturbative regularisation scheme. We first introduce the basic formalism, and discuss the limits corresponding to…
The product of a non-commutative matrix spectral triple with a simple two-dimensional internal space is considered. This is interpreted as a non-commutative spacetime that contains one charged Dirac fermion and its antiparticle. The inner…
We deconstruct the finite projective modules for the fuzzy four-sphere, described in a previous paper, and correlate them with the matrix model approach, making manifest the physical implications of noncommutative topology. We briefly…
It is well-known that coordinates of a charged particle in a monopole background become noncommutative. In this paper, we study the motion of a charged particle moving on a supersphere in the presence of a supermonopole. We construct a…
All fiber bundle with a given set of characteristic classes are viewable as particular projections of a more general bundle called a universal classifying space. This notion of projector valued field, a global definition of connections and…
We introduce non-commutative algebras, which can be associated with the function algebra of functions on a finite or half-finite cylinder. The algebras, which depend on a deformation parameter, are crossed product algebras of a partial…
Graphs serve as efficient tools for visualizing mathematical concepts and their interrelationships. In this paper, focusing on the discrete case with universal set with finite elements, we first introduce the rules and characteristics of…
We study scalar solitons on the fuzzy sphere at arbitrary radius and noncommutativity. We prove that no solitons exist if the radius is below a certain value. Solitons do exist for radii above a critical value which depends on the…
We study in detail generalized 4-dimensional fuzzy spheres with twisted extra dimensions. These spheres can be viewed as $SO(5)$-equivariant projections of quantized coadjoint orbits of $SO(6)$. We show that they arise as solutions in…
The fuzzy disc is a discretization of the algebra of functions on the two dimensional disc using finite matrices which preserves the action of the rotation group. We define a $\varphi^4$ scalar field theory on it and analyze numerically for…
Recently we have introduced a matrix model depending on two coupling constants $g^2$ and $\lambda$, which contains the fuzzy sphere as a background; to obtain the classical limit $g^2$ must depend on $N$ in a precise way. In this paper we…
Matrix models are proposed as nonperturbative formulations of superstring theory. We study a concrete correspondence of the analytical result between the matrix model and the field theory. In this paper, we focus on a fuzzy sphere and a…
We investigate a version of the abelian Higgs model with a non-standard kinetic term (K field theory) in 2+1 dimensions. The existence of vortex type solutions with compact support (topological compactons) is established by a combination of…
This is a short version of hep-th/0307075, describing the formulation of Yang-Mills theory on the fuzzy sphere as multi-matrix model, its monopole solutions and the quantization using random matrix techniques.
Fuzzy sets are the cornerstone of a non-additive uncertainty theory, namely possibility theory, and of a versatile tool for both linguistic and numerical modeling. Numerous works now combine fuzzy concepts with other scientific disciplines…
We outline a brief description of non commutative geometry and present some applications in string theory. We use the fuzzy torus as our guiding example.
A detailed Monte Carlo calculation of the phase diagram of bosonic IKKT Yang-Mills matrix models in three and six dimensions with quartic mass deformations is given. Background emergent fuzzy geometries in two and four dimensions are…
Non-topological gauged soliton solutions called Q-balls arise in many scalar field theories that are invariant under a U(1) gauge symmetry. The related, but qualitatively distinct, Q-shell solitons have only been shown to exist for special…
The non-commutative geometry of a large auxiliary $B$-field simplifies the construction of D-branes as solitons in open string field theory. Similarly, fundamental strings are constructed as localized flux tubes in the string field theory.…
