Scalar Solitons on the Fuzzy Sphere

Abstract: We study scalar solitons on the fuzzy sphere at arbitrary radius and noncommutativity. We prove that no solitons exist if the radius is below a certain value. Solitons do exist for radii above a critical value which depends on the noncommutativity parameter. We construct a family of soliton solutions which are stable and which converge to solitons on the Moyal plane in an appropriate limit. These solutions are rotationally symmetric about an axis and have no allowed deformations. Solitons that describe multipl… Show more

“…}, which converges weakly towards a field Φ m on the Moyal plane, and given that Φ N fulfills the equation of motion on the respective fuzzy sphere, then it is clear from (4.10) that the field Φ m will satisfy the equations of motion in the Moyal plane since the equations of motions themselves converge weakly. A specific example is provided by the soliton solution on the fuzzy sphere given in [40] which was shown to converge weakly towards a soliton solution of the Moyal plane.…”

“…Explicit solitonic solutions have been found in various gauge theories, see, e.g., [1,2,3,4,5] as well as in scalar field theories [6,7,8] at infinite noncommutativity where the existence theory for finite noncommutativity is now rather complete [9,10,11,12] especially for the rotationally invariant case. For general background and reviews of noncommutative field theory we refer to [13,14,15].…”
