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|…
We construct spherical harmonics for fuzzy spheres of even and odd dimensions, generalizing the correspondence between finite matrix algebras and fuzzy two-spheres. The finite matrix algebras associated with the various fuzzy spheres have a…
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…
We investigate the most general non(anti)commutative geometry in N=1 four-dimensional superspace, invariant under the classical (i.e., undeformed) supertranslation group. We find that a nontrivial non(anti)commutative superspace geometry…
The differential algebra on the fuzzy sphere is constructed by applying Connes' scheme. The U(1) gauge theory on the fuzzy sphere based on this differential algebra is defined. The local U(1) gauge transformation on the fuzzy sphere is…
We discuss gauge theories for commutative but non-associative algebras related to the $ SO(2k+1)$ covariant finite dimensional fuzzy $2k$-sphere algebras. A consequence of non-associativity is that gauge fields and gauge parameters have to…
We study d=2, N=(2,2) non-linear sigma-models in (2,2) superspace. By analyzing the most general constraints on a superfield, we show that through an appropriate choice of coordinates, there are no other superfields than chiral, twisted…
We study a noncommutative gauge theory on a fuzzy four-sphere. The idea is to use a matrix model with a fifth-rank Chern-Simons term and to expand matrices around the fuzzy four-sphere which corresponds to a classical solution of this…
Two-dimensional N=1,2 supersymmetric chiral models and their dual extensions are introduced and canonically quantized. Working within a superspace formalism, the non-manifest invariance under 2D-superPoincare' transformations is proven. The…
In this note we develop fuzzy versions of the supersymmetric non-linear sigma model on the supersphere S^(2,2). In hep-th/0212133 Bott projectors have been used to obtain the fuzzy CP^1 model. Our approach utilizes the use of supersymmetric…
We review several techniques that twist an algebra's multiplicative structure. We first consider twists by an automorphism, also known as Zhang twists, and we relate them to 2-cocycle twists of certain bialgebras. We then outline the…
We show that four-dimensional superconformal algebras admit an infinite-dimensional derived enhancement after performing a holomorphic twist. The type of higher symmetry algebras we find are closely related to algebras studied by…
We derive an explicit expression for an associative *-product on fuzzy complex projective spaces. This generalises previous results for the fuzzy 2-sphere and gives a discrete non-commutative algebra of functions on fuzzy complex projective…
We describe the scalar and spinor fields on noncommutative sphere starting from canonical realizations of the enveloping algebra ${\cal A}={\cal U}{u(2))}$. The gauge extension of a free spinor model, the Schwinger model on a noncommutative…
We recall a construction of non-commutative algebras related to a one-parameter family of (deformed) spheres and tori, and show that in the case of tori, the *-algebras can be completed into C*-algebras isomorphic to the standard…
The comultiplication formula for fusion products of untwisted representations of the chiral algebra is generalised to include arbitrary twisted representations. We show that the formulae define a tensor product with suitable properties, and…
We study polynomial deformations of the fuzzy sphere, specifically given by the cubic or the Higgs algebra. We derive the Higgs algebra by quantizing the Poisson structure on a surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We find that several surfaces,…
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…
We study the second quantization of field theory on the q-deformed fuzzy sphere for real q. This is performed using a path-integral over the modes, which generate a quasiassociative algebra. The resulting models have a manifest U_q(su(2))…
The well known relation between extended supersymmetry and complex geometry in the non-linear sigma-models is reviewed, and some recent developments related to the introduction of the non-anti-commutativity, in the context of the…
