Fuzzy sphere ：ウィキペディア英語版

Fuzzy sphere
In mathematics, the fuzzy sphere is one of the simplest and most canonical examples of non-commutative geometry. Ordinarily, the functions defined on a sphere form a commuting algebra. A fuzzy sphere differs from an ordinary sphere because the algebra of functions on it is not commutative. It is generated by spherical harmonics whose spin ''l'' is at most equal to some ''j''. The terms in the product of two spherical harmonics that involve spherical harmonics with spin exceeding ''j'' are simply omitted in the product. This truncation replaces an infinite-dimensional commutative algebra by a

j^2

-dimensional non-commutative algebra.
The simplest way to see this sphere is to realize this truncated algebra of functions as a matrix algebra on some finite-dimensional vector space.
Take the three ''j''-dimensional matrices

J_a,~ a=1,2,3

that form a basis for the ''j'' dimensional irreducible representation of the Lie algebra ''SU(2)''. They satisfy the relations

)=i\epsilon_J_c

, where

\epsilon_

is the totally antisymmetric symbol with

\epsilon_=1

, and generate via the matrix product the algebra

M_j

of ''j'' dimensional matrices. The value of the ''SU(2)'' Casimir operator in this representation is
:

J_1^2+J_2^2+J_3^2=\frac(j^2-1)I

where I is the ''j''-dimensional identity matrix.
Thus, if we define the 'coordinates'

x_a=kr^J_a

where ''r'' is the radius of the sphere and ''k'' is a parameter, related to ''r'' and ''j'' by

4r^4=k^2(j^2-1)

, then the above equation concerning the Casimir operator can be rewritten as
:

x_1^2+x_2^2+x_3^2=r^2

,
which is the usual relation for the coordinates on a sphere of radius ''r'' embedded in three dimensional space.
One can define an integral on this space, by
:

\int_fd\Omega:=2\pi k \, \text(F)

where ''F'' is the matrix corresponding to the function ''f''.
For example, the integral of unity, which gives the surface of the sphere in the commutative case is here equal to
:

2\pi k \, \text(I)=2\pi k j =4\pi r^2\frac{\sqrt{j^2-1}}

which converges to the value of the surface of the sphere if one takes ''j'' to infinity.
