The fuzzy supersphere $S_F^{(2,2)}$ is a finite-dimensional matrix approximation to the supersphere $S^{(2,2)}$ incorporating supersymmetry exactly. Here the star-product of functions on $S_F^{(2,2)}$ is obtained by utilizing the OSp(2,1)…
It is stated in the literature that D-branes in the WZW-model associated with the gluing condition J = - \bar{J} along the boundary correspond to branes filling out the whole group volume. We show instead that the end-points of open strings…
We explain in some detail the geometric structure of spheres in any dimension. Our approach may be helpful for other homogeneous spaces (with other signatures) such as the de Sitter and anti-de Sitter spaces. We apply the procedure to the…
The O(N) symmetric vector model is considered on both ordinary and fuzzy sphere. It is shown that in both cases master fields exist and their explicit forms are presented. They are found to mix the internal symmetry and the (fuzzy)…
Fuzzy hyperspheres $S^d_\Lambda$ of dimension $d>2$ are constructed here generalizing the procedure adopted in [G. Fiore, F. Pisacane, J. Geom. Phys. 132 (2018), 423-451] for $d=1,2$. The starting point is an ordinary quantum particle in…

We use a simple algebraic method to find a special class of composite p-brane solutions of higher dimensional gravity coupled with matter. These solutions are composed of n constituent p-branes corresponding n independent harmonic…
We study "fuzzy funnel" solutions to the non-Abelian equations of motion of the D-string. Our funnel describes n^6/360 coincident D-strings ending on n^3/6 D7-branes, in terms of a fuzzy six-sphere which expands along the string. We also…
Five and six dimensional SUSY gauge theories, with one or two compactified directions, are discussed. The 5d theories with the matter hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation are associated with the twisted $XXZ$ spin chain, while…
We discuss a four-dimensional Volkov-Akulov supersymmetric theory on a D3-brane with N=2 supersymmetry broken down to N=1.
We describe a block-spin-like transformation on a simplified subset of the space of supersymmetric quiver gauge theories that arise on the worldvolumes of D-brane probes of orbifold geometries, by sequentially Higgsing the gauge symmetry in…
The geometry of D-branes can be probed by open string scattering. If the background carries a non-vanishing B-field, the world-volume becomes non-commutative. Here we explore the quantization of world-volume geometries in a curved…
We introduce and study higher spherical algebras, an exotic family of finite-dimensional algebras over an algebraically closed field. We prove that every such an algebra is derived equivalent to a higher tetrahedral algebra studied in [7],…
The `Chern-Simons Quantum Mechanics' of a particle on CP(n|m) is shown to yield the fuzzy descriptions of these superspaces, for which we construct the non-(anti)commuting position operators. For a particle on the supersphere CP(1|1) =…
A fuzzy circle and a fuzzy 3-sphere are constructed as subspaces of fuzzy complex projective spaces, of complex dimension one and three, by modifying the Laplacians on the latter so as to give unwanted states large eigenvalues. This leaves…
We simplify and complete the construction of fully $O(D)$-equivariant fuzzy spheres $S^d_L$, for all dimensions $d\equiv D-1$, initiated in [G. Fiore, F. Pisacane, J. Geom. Phys. 132 (2018), 423]. This is based on imposing a suitable energy…
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…
I discuss a scaling limit, where open strings in the WZW-model behave as dipoles with charges confined to a spherical brane and projected to the lowest Landau level. Then I show how the joining and splitting interactions of these dipoles…
Multidimensional model describing the "cosmological" and/or spherically symmetric configuration with n+1 Einstein spaces in the theory with several scalar fields and forms is considered. When electro-magnetic composite p-brane ansatz is…
