Noncommutative geometry of angular momentum space U(su(2))
Abstract
We study the standard angular momentum algebra as a noncommutative manifold . We show that there is a natural 4D differential calculus and obtain its cohomology and Hodge * operator. We solve the spin 0 wave equation and some aspects of the Maxwell or electromagnetic theory including solutions for a uniform electric current density, and we find a natural Dirac operator. We embed inside a 4D noncommutative spacetime which is the limit of q-Minkowski space and show that has a natural quantum isometry group given by the quantum double as a singular limit of the -Lorentz group. We view as a collection of all fuzzy spheres taken together. We also analyse the semiclassical limit via minimum uncertainty states approximating classical positions in polar coordinates.
