Abstract We construct spherical harmonics for fuzzy spheres of even and odd dimensions, generalizing the correspondence between finite Matrix algebras and fuzzy two-spheres. The finite Matrix algebras associated with the various fuzzy spheres have a natural basis which falls in correspondence with tensor constructions of irreducible representations of orthogonal groups SO ( n ). This basis is useful in describing fluctuations around various D-brane constructions of fuzzy spherical objects. The…

Higher dimensional geometries related to fuzzy odd-dimensional spheres
We study SO(m) covariant matrix realizations of ?i = 1mXi2 = 1 for even m as candidate fuzzy odd spheres following \cite{guram}. As for the fuzzy four sphere, these matrix algebras contain more

Noncommutative Gauge Theory on Fuzzy Four-Sphere and Matrix Model
Abstract We study a noncommutative gauge theory on a fuzzy four-sphere. The idea is to use a matrix model with a fifth-rank Chern–Simons term and to expand matrices around the fuzzy four-sphere which
Hopf Maps, Lowest Landau Level, and Fuzzy Spheres ?
This paper is a review of monopoles, lowest Landau level, fuzzy spheres, and their mutual relations. The Hopf maps of division algebras provide a prototype relation between monopoles and fuzzy
Towards Gauge theory for a class of commutative and non-associative fuzzy spaces
We discuss gauge theories for commutative but non-associative algebras related to the SO(2k+1) covariant finite dimensional fuzzy 2k-sphere algebras. A consequence of non-associativity is that gauge

Abstract Matrix descriptions of higher-dimensional spherical branes are investigated. It is known that a fuzzy 2k-sphere is described by the coset space SO(2k+1)/U(k) and has some extra dimensions.

A model of Euclidean spacetime is presented in which at scales less than a certain length kappa the notion of a point does not exist. At scales larger then kappa the model resembles the 2-sphere S2.
