Abstract:We give a non-perturbative definition of U(n) gauge theory on fuzzy CP 2 as a multi-matrix model. The degrees of freedom are 8 hermitian matrices of finite size, 4 of which are tangential gauge fields and 4 are auxiliary variables. The model depends on a noncommutativity parameter 1 N , and reduces to the usual U(n) Yang-Mills action on the 4-dimensional classical CP 2 in the limit N → ∞. We explicitly find the monopole solutions, and also certain U(2) instanton solutions for finite N. The quantization of the … Show more
“…By the dimensional reduction, we obtain YM-higgs on S 2n+1 and CP n and a matrix model. We find the commutative (continuum) limit of gauge theory on fuzzy CP n [28,[31][32][33][34][35] realized in the matrix model coincides with YM-higgs on CP n . Namely, we show that the theory around each monopole vacuum of YM-higgs on CP n is equivalent to the theory around a certain vacuum of the matrix model.…”

We investigate relationship between a gauge theory on a principal bundle and that on its base space. In the case where the principal bundle is itself a group manifold, we also study relations of those gauge theories with a matrix model obtained by dimensionally reducing them to zero dimensions. First, we develop the dimensional reduction of YangMills (YM) on the total space to YM-higgs on the base space for a general principal bundle. Second, we show a relationship that YM on an SU (2) bundle is equivalent to the theory around a certain background of YM-higgs on its base space. This is an extension of our previous work [29], in which the same relationship concerning a U (1) bundle is shown. We apply these results to the case of SU (n + 1) as the total space. By dimensionally reducing YM on SU (n + 1), we obtain YM-higgs on SU (n + 1)/SU (n) ≃ S 2n+1 and on SU (n + 1)/(SU (n) × U (1)) ≃ CP n and a matrix model. We show that the theory around each monopole vacuum of YM-higgs on CP n is equivalent to the theory around a certain vacuum of the matrix model in the commutative limit. By combining this with the relationship concerning a U (1) bundle, we realize YM-higgs on SU (n + 1)/SU (n) ≃ S 2n+1 in the matrix model. We see that the relationship concerning a U (1) bundle can be interpreted as Buscher's

Abstract. We review some recent progress in quantum field theory in non-commutative space, focusing onto the fuzzy sphere as a non-perturbative regularisation scheme. We first introduce the basic formalism, and discuss the limits corresponding to different commutative or non-commutative spaces. We present some of the theories which have been investigated in this framework, with a particular attention to the scalar model. Then we comment on the results recently obtained from Monte Carlo simulations, and show a preview of new numerical data, which are consistent with the expected transition between two phases characterised by the topology of the support of a matrix eigenvalue distribution.
“…A similar construction was given in [39] for the case of CP 2 , and applied to S 2 N in a different way in [11]. To justify this claim, we must check that the orbit O captures the correct number of degrees of freedom at least in the commutative limit N → ∞, i.e.…”

The corresponding equivariant moment map µ : O(Ξ) → u(N ) ∨ is the inclusion map which has the pairings 39) and it defines a representation of the Lie algebra u(N ) through the Poisson algebra corresponding to ω.…”

We present a new model for Yang-Mills theory on the fuzzy sphere in which the configuration space of gauge fields is given by a coadjoint orbit. In the classical limit it reduces to ordinary Yang-Mills theory on the sphere. We find all classical solutions of the gauge theory and use nonabelian localization techniques to write the partition function entirely as a sum over local contributions from critical points of the action, which are evaluated explicitly. The partition function of ordinary Yang-Mills theory on the sphere is recovered in the classical limit as a sum over instantons. We also apply abelian localization techniques and the geometry of symmetric spaces to derive an explicit combinatorial expression for the partition function, and compare the two approaches. These extend the standard techniques for solving gauge theory on the sphere to the fuzzy case in a rigorous framework.
