Matrix regularization for gauge theories
Abstract
We consider how gauge theories can be described by matrix models. Conventional matrix regularization is defined for scalar functions and is not applicable to gauge fields, which are connections of fiber bundles. We clarify how the degrees of freedom of gauge fields are related to the matrix degrees of freedom, by formulating the Seiberg-Witten map between them.
