Scalar Solitons on the Fuzzy Sphere

چکیده
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 multiple lumps on the fuzzy sphere can also be constructed but they are not stable. e-mail: [email protected] e-mail: [email protected] e-mail: [email protected]

Scalar Multi-solitons on the Fuzzy Sphere
We study solitons in scalar theories with polynomial interactions on the fuzzy sphere. Such solitons are described by projection operators of rank k, and hence the moduli space for the solitons is the Grassmannian Gr(k, 2j+1). The gradient term of the action provides a non-trivial potential on Gr(k, 2j+1), thus reducing the moduli space. We construct configurations corresponding to wellseparate...
متن کاملTopological ZN+1 Charges on Fuzzy Sphere
We study the topological properties on fuzzy sphere. We show that the topological charge is only defined modulo N + 1, that is finite integer quotient ZN+1, where N is a cut-off spin of fuzzy sphere. This periodic structure on topological charges is shown based on the boson realizations of SU(2) algebra, Schwinger vs. Holstein-Primakoff. We argue that this result can have a natural K-theory int...
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...
متن کاملA matrix phase for the φ scalar field on the fuzzy sphere
The critical properties of the real φ scalar field theory are studied numerically on the fuzzy sphere. The fuzzy sphere is a finite matrix (non–commutative) approximation of the algebra of functions on the usual two dimensional sphere. It is also one of the simplest examples of a non–commutative space to study field theory on. Aside from the usual disordered and uniform phases present in the co...
متن کاملMonopoles and Solitons in Fuzzy Physics
Monopoles and solitons have important topological aspects like quantized fluxes, winding numbers and curved target spaces. Naive discretizations which substitute a lattice of points for the underlying manifolds are incapable of retaining these features in a precise way. We study these problems of discrete physics and matrix models and discuss mathematically coherent discretizations of monopoles...
