Fuzzy Sphere from Matrix Model

Abstract

Using a D0-brane as a probe, we study the spacetime geometry in the neighborhood of N D-branes in matrix theory. We find that due to fermionic zero modes, the coordinates of the probe in the transverse directions are noncommutative, and the angular part is a fuzzy sphere.
