In this survey article, we describe recent work that connects three separate objects of interest: totally nonnegative matrices; quantum matrices; and matrix Poisson varieties.

We show that a nematic field constrained to a curved embedded surface develops an emergent geometric mass in its leading isotropic interaction sector. An auxiliary embedding-space closure mediated by the surface spin connection yields a…

A novel scenario for the emergence of geometry in random multitrace matrix models of a single hermitian matrix $M$ with unitary $U(N) $ invariance, i.e. without a kinetic term, is presented. In particular, the dimension of the emergent…

We study geometric consistency relations between angles on 3-dimensional (3D) circular quadrilateral lattices -- lattices whose faces are planar quadrilaterals inscribable into a circle. We show that these relations generate canonical…

This work deals with relations between a bounded cohomological invariant and the geometry of Hermitian symmetric spaces of noncompact type. The invariant, obtained from the K\"ahler class, is used to define and characterize a special class…

We propose a novel method of finding the classical limit of the matrix geometry. We define coherent states for a general matrix geometry described by a large-N sequence of D Hermitian matrices X_\mu (\mu =1,2, ..., D) and construct a…

We recall the theory of linear discrete Riemann surfaces and show how to use it in order to interpret a surface embedded in R^3 as a discrete Riemann surface and compute its basis of holomorphic forms on it. We present numerical examples,…

The aim of the paper is to define noncommutative cluster structure on several algebras ${\mathcal A}$ related to marked surfaces possibly with orbifold points of various orders, which includes noncommutative clusters, i.e., embeddings of a…

In this paper we study associative algebras with a Poisson algebra structure on the center acting by derivations on the rest of the algebra. These structures, which we call Poisson fibred algebras, appear in the study of quantum groups at…

We propose a way to understand the 3 fermion generations by the algebraic structures of noncommutative geometry, which is a promising framework to unify the standard model and general relativity. We make the tensor product extension and the…

Any surface is completely characterized by a metric and a symmetric tensor satisfying the Gauss-Codazzi-Mainardi equations (GCM), which identifies the latter as its curvature. We demonstrate that physical questions relating to a surface…

A continuum description of unstructured meshes in two dimensions, both for planar and curved surface domains, is proposed. The meshes described are those which, in the limit of an increasingly finer mesh (smaller cells), and away from…

We prove that finite area isolated singularities of surfaces with constant positive curvature in R^3 are removable singularities, branch points or immersed conical singularities. We describe the space of immersed conical singularities of…

The standard Poisson structure on the rectangular matrix variety M_{m,n}(C) is investigated, via the orbits of symplectic leaves under the action of the maximal torus T of GL_{m+n}(C). These orbits, finite in number, are shown to be smooth…

Immersed boundary methods are extensively used for simulations of dynamic solid objects interacting with fluids due to their computational efficiency and modelling flexibility compared to body-fitted grid methods. However, thin geometries,…

We study noncompact and static membrane solutions in Matrix theory. Demanding axial symmetry on a membrane embedded in three spatial dimensions, we obtain a wormhole solution whose shape is the same with the catenoidal solution of…

Matrix configurations coming from matrix models comprise many important aspects of modern physics. They represent special quantum spaces and are thus strongly related to noncommutative geometry. In order to establish a semiclassical limit…

Using very weak criteria for what may constitute a noncommutative geometry, I show that a pseudo-Riemannian manifold can only be smoothly deformed into noncommutative geometries if certain geometric obstructions vanish. These obstructions…

Let $M$ be a smooth closed orientable manifold and $\mathcal{P}(M)$ the space of Poisson structures on $M$. We construct a Poisson bracket on $\mathcal{P}(M)$ depending on a choice of volume form. The Hamiltonian flow of the bracket acts on…

We show that model molecules with particular rotational symmetries can self-assemble into network structures equivalent to rhombus tilings. This assembly happens in an emergent way, in the sense that molecules spontaneously select irregular…
