Noncommutative Gauge Theories on Fuzzy Sphere and Fuzzy Torus from Matrix Model

Abstract

We consider a reduced model of four-dimensional Yang-Mills theory with a mass term. This matrix model has two classical solutions, two-dimensional fuzzy sphere and two-dimensional fuzzy torus. These classical solutions are constructed by embedding them into three or four dimensional flat space. They exist for finite size matrices, that is, the number of the quantum on these manifolds is finite. Noncommutative gauge theories on these noncommutative manifolds are derived by expanding the model around these classical solutions and studied by taking two large $N$ limits, a commutative limit and a large radius limit. The behaviors of gauge invariant operators are also discussed.
