'Schwinger Model' on the Fuzzy Sphere
Abstract
In this paper, we construct a model of spinor fields interacting with specific gauge fields on fuzzy sphere and analyze the chiral symmetry of this 'Schwinger model'. In constructing the theory of gauge fields interacting with spinors on fuzzy sphere, we take the approach that the Dirac operator on q-deformed fuzzy sphere is the gauged Dirac operator on fuzzy sphere. This introduces interaction between spinors and specific one parameter family of gauge fields. We also show how to express the field strength for this gauge field in terms of the Dirac operators and alone. Using the path integral method, we have calculated the point functions of this model and show that, in general, they do not vanish, reflecting the chiral non-invariance of the partition function.
