    Space-time dynamics from algebra representations

    Get PDF
    We present a model for introducing dynamics into a space-time geometry. This space-time structure is constructed from a C*-algebra defined in terms of the generators of an irreducible unitary representation of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra G. This algebra is included as a subalgebra in a bigger algebra F, the generators of which mix the representations of G in a way that relates different space-times and creates the dynamics. This construction can be considered eventually as a model for 2-D quantum gravity.Comment: 6 pages, LaTeX, no figures. Old paper submitted for archive reason

    Non-commutative geometry of 4-dimensional quantum Hall droplet

    Full text link
    We develop the description of non-commutative geometry of the 4-dimensional quantum Hall fluid's theory proposed recently by Zhang and Hu. The non-commutative structure of fuzzy S4S^{4} appears naturally in this theory. The fuzzy monopole harmonics, which are the essential elements in this non-commutative geometry, are explicitly constructed and their obeying the matrix algebra is obtained. This matrix algebra is associative. We also propose a fusion scheme of the fuzzy monopole harmonics of the coupling system from those of the subsystems, and determine the fusion rule in such fusion scheme. By products, we provide some essential ingredients of the theory of SO(5) angular momentum. In particular, the explicit expression of the coupling coefficients, in the theory of SO(5) angular momentum, are given. It is discussed that some possible applications of our results to the 4-dimensional quantum Hall system and the matrix brane construction in M-theory.Comment: latex 22 pages, no figures. some references added. some results are clarifie

    Quantum Entropy for the Fuzzy Sphere and its Monopoles

    Full text link
    Using generalized bosons, we construct the fuzzy sphere SF2S_F^2 and monopoles on SF2S_F^2 in a reducible representation of SU(2)SU(2). The corresponding quantum states are naturally obtained using the GNS-construction. We show that there is an emergent non-abelian unitary gauge symmetry which is in the commutant of the algebra of observables. The quantum states are necessarily mixed and have non-vanishing von Neumann entropy, which increases monotonically under a bistochastic Markov map. The maximum value of the entropy has a simple relation to the degeneracy of the irreps that constitute the reducible representation that underlies the fuzzy sphere.Comment: 21 pages, typos correcte

    Dirac operator on the q-deformed Fuzzy sphere and Its spectrum

    Full text link
    The q-deformed fuzzy sphere SqF2(N)S_{qF}^2(N) is the algebra of (N+1)×(N+1)(N+1)\times(N+1) dim. matrices, covariant with respect to the adjoint action of \uq and in the limit q1q\to 1, it reduces to the fuzzy sphere SF2(N)S_{F}^2(N). We construct the Dirac operator on the q-deformed fuzzy sphere-SqF2(N)S_{qF}^{2}(N) using the spinor modules of \uq. We explicitly obtain the zero modes and also calculate the spectrum for this Dirac operator. Using this Dirac operator, we construct the \uq invariant action for the spinor fields on SqF2(N)S_{qF}^{2}(N) which are regularised and have only finite modes. We analyse the spectrum for both qq being root of unity and real, showing interesting features like its novel degeneracy. We also study various limits of the parameter space (q, N) and recover the known spectrum in both fuzzy and commutative sphere.Comment: 19 pages, 6 figures, more references adde
