Fuzzy spaces, the M(atrix) model and the quantum Hall effect

High Energy Physics - Theory 2016-11-23 v2

Abstract

This is a short review of recent work on fuzzy spaces in their relation to the M(atrix) theory and the quantum Hall effect. We give an introduction to fuzzy spaces and how the limit of large matrices is obtained. The complex projective spaces CPk{\bf CP}^k, and to a lesser extent spheres, are considered. Quantum Hall effect and the behavior of edge excitations of a droplet of fermions on these spaces and their relation to fuzzy spaces are also discussed.
