Fuzzy Instantons
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a series of instanton-like solutions to a matrix model which satisfy a self-duality condition and possess an action whose value is, to within a fixed constant factor, an integer l2. For small values of the dimension n2 of the matrix algebra the integer resembles the result of a quantization condition but as n → ∞ the ratio l/n can tend to an arbitrary real number between zero and one.

Instantons and Chiral Anomaly in Fuzzy Physics
In continuum physics, there are important topological aspects like instantons, θ-terms and the axial anomaly. Conventional lattice discretizations often have difficulties in treating one or the other of these aspects. In this paper, we develop discrete quantum field theories on fuzzy manifolds using noncommutative geometry. Basing ourselves on previous treatments of instantons and chiral fermio...
متن کاملSupersymmetric D-brane Bound States with B-field and Higher Dimensional Instantons on Noncommutative Geometry
We classify supersymmetric D0-Dp bound states with a non-zero B-field by considering T-dualities of intersecting branes at angles. Especially, we find that the D0-D8 system with the B-field preserves 1/16, 1/8 and 3/16 of supercharges if the B-field satisfies the “(anti-)self-dual” condition in dimension eight. The D0-branes in this system are described by eight dimensional instantons on non-co...
متن کاملOn spherical harmonics for fuzzy spheres in diverse dimensions
We construct spherical harmonics for fuzzy spheres of even and odd dimensions, generalizing the correspondence between finite matrix algebras and fuzzy two-spheres. The finite matrix algebras associated with the various fuzzy spheres have a natural basis which falls in correspondence with tensor constructions of irreducible representations of orthogonal groups SO(n). This basis is useful in des...
متن کاملHigher Dimensional Geometries from Matrix Brane Constructions
Matrix descriptions of even dimensional fuzzy spherical branes S in Matrix Theory and other contexts in Type II superstring theory reveal, in the large N limit, higher dimensional geometries SO(2k+1)/U(k), which have an interesting spectrum of SO(2k+1) harmonics and can be up to 20 dimensional, while the spheres are restricted to be of dimension less than 10. In the case k = 2, the matrix descr...
متن کاملD-branes in Noncommutative Field Theory∗
A mathematical introduction to the classical solutions of noncommutative field theory is presented, with emphasis on how they may be understood as states of D-branes in Type II superstring theory. Both scalar field theory and gauge theory on Moyal spaces are extensively studied. Instantons in Yang-Mills theory on the two-dimensional noncommutative torus and the fuzzy sphere are also constructed...
