Quantization of Algebraic Varieties Defined by Casimir Polynomials via Matrix Regularization: Fuzzy $S^7$ and Beyond

Abstract

We study the quantization of algebraic varieties defined by equations involving Casimir polynomials of compact semisimple Lie algebras. The Casimir polynomials belong to the Poisson center of the corresponding Lie-Poisson algebra. For this purpose, we employ a recently developed matrix regularization of Lie-Poisson algebras. In particular, using its formulation based on reducible representations, we construct quantizations of these algebraic varieties through their decomposition into coadjoint orbits, including singular orbits. As a concrete example, we present the construction of fuzzy $S^7$ in detail.
