Split noncommutativity and compactified brane solutions in matrix models
Solutions of the undeformed IKKT matrix model with structure R^{3,1} x K are
presented, where the noncommutativity relates the compact with the non-compact
space. The extra dimensions are stabilized by angular momentum, and the scales
of K are generic moduli of the solutions. Explicit solutions are given for K=
T^2, K= T^4, K = S^2 x T^2 and K = S^2 x S^2. Infinite towers of Kaluza-Klein
modes may arise in some directions, along with an effective UV cutoff on the
non-compact space. Deformations of these solutions carry NC gauge theory
coupled to (emergent) gravity. Analogous solutions of the BFSS model are also
given.Comment: 24 pages. V2, V3: typos fixed. V4: minor correction
Quantization and eigenvalue distribution of noncommutative scalar field theory
The quantization of noncommutative scalar field theory is studied from the
matrix model point of view, exhibiting the significance of the eigenvalue
distribution. This provides a new framework to study renormalization, and
predicts a phase transition in the noncommutative \phi^4 model. In
4-dimensions, the corresponding critical line is found to terminate at a
non-trivial point.Comment: Talk presented at the II. Southeastern European Workshop BW 2005,

Finite dimensional unitary representations of quantum Anti-de Sitter groups at roots of unity
We study irreducible unitary \reps of and for
a root of unity, which are finite dimensional. Among others, unitary \reps
corresponding to all classical one-particle representations with integral
weights are found for , with being large enough. In the
"massless" case with spin bigger than or equal to 1 in 4 dimensions, they are
unitarizable only after factoring out a subspace of "pure gauges", as
classically. A truncated associative tensor product describing unitary
many-particle representations is defined for .Comment: More systematic proof of statements on the structure of irreps, some

A non-perturbative approach to non-commutative scalar field theory
Non-commutative Euclidean scalar field theory is shown to have an eigenvalue
sector which is dominated by a well-defined eigenvalue density, and can be
described by a matrix model. This is established using regularizations of
R^{2n}_\theta via fuzzy spaces for the free and weakly coupled case, and
extends naturally to the non-perturbative domain. It allows to study the
renormalization of the effective potential using matrix model techniques, and
is closely related to UV/IR mixing. In particular we find a phase transition
for the \phi^4 model at strong coupling, to a phase which is identified with
the striped or matrix phase. The method is expected to be applicable in 4
dimensions, where a critical line is found which terminates at a non-trivial
point, with nonzero critical coupling. This provides evidence for a non-trivial
fixed-point for the 4-dimensional NC \phi^4 model.Comment: 38 pages, 1 figure. V2: references added. V3: typos fixed, discussion

One-loop stabilization of the fuzzy four-sphere via softly broken SUSY
We describe a stabilization mechanism for fuzzy in the Euclidean IIB
matrix model due to vacuum energy in the presence of a positive mass term. The
one-loop effective potential for the radius contains an attractive contribution
attributed to supergravity, while the mass term induces a repulsive
contribution for small radius due to SUSY breaking. This leads to a
stabilization of the radius. The mechanism should be pertinent to recent
results on the genesis of 3+1-dimensional space-time in the Minkowskian IIB
model.Comment: 28 pages, 3 figures. V2: typos fixed, improved discussion, published

Cosmological space-times with resolved Big Bang in Yang-Mills matrix models
We present simple solutions of IKKT-type matrix models that can be viewed as
quantized homogeneous and isotropic cosmological space-times, with finite
density of microstates and a regular Big Bang (BB). The BB arises from a
signature change of the effective metric on a fuzzy brane embedded in
Lorentzian target space, in the presence of a quantized 4-volume form. The
Hubble parameter is singular at the BB, and becomes small at late times. There
is no singularity from the target space point of view, and the brane is
Euclidean "before" the BB. Both recollapsing and expanding universe solutions
are obtained, depending on the mass parameters.Comment: 22 pages, 4 figures. V2,V3: improved discussion, typos fixed. V3:
