Fuzzy Complex Quadrics and Spheres

Dolan, Brian P.,O'Connor, Denjoe,Presnajder, Peter

Abstract

A matrix algebra is constructed which consists of the necessary degrees of freedom for a finite approximation to the algebra of functions on the family of orthogonal Grassmannians of real dimension 2N, known as complex quadrics. These matrix algebras contain the relevant degrees of freedom for describing truncations of harmonic expansions of functions on N-spheres. An Inonu-Wigner contraction of the quadric gives the co-tangent bundle to the commutative sphere in the continuum limit. It is shown how the degrees of freedom for the sphere can be projected out of a finite dimensional functional integral, using second-order Casimirs, giving a well-defined procedure for construction functional integrals over fuzzy spheres of any dimension.

The analysis elies on p ope ies o he o hogonal G assmannian, SO(N+ 2)/[SO(N)×SO(2)], which is a co-adjoin o bi o dimension 2N. This o hogonal G assmannian can also be ob ained as he complex quad a ic zaza= 0 in CPN+1, whe e zaa e na u al complex co-o dina es, [17]. The no- a ion in Kobayashi and Nomizu is QN∼ =SO(N+ 2)/[SO(N)×SO(2)] and we shall use his as a sho hand. In¨on¨u-Wigne con ac ion o SO(N+ 2) o he Euclidean g oup o RN+1 ela es QN o he co- angen bundle T∗SN.

The cons uc ion s a s wi h Ca esian co-o dina es Xain RN+1, whe e a= 1, . . . , N + 1. Conside he sphe e SN∼ =SO(N+ 1)/SO(N) o adius R de ined by XaXa=R2. The isome y g oup is SO(N+ 1) wi h algeb a [Lab, Lcd] = i(δbcLad +δadLbc −δacLbd −δbdLac),(1) whe e Lab =−Lba ( he e is no dis inc ion be ween uppe and lowe Euclidean indices in RN+1,Xa=Xa). This can be ex ended o a ep esen a ion o he Euclidean g oup, EN+1 ac ing on RN+1, [Lab, Lcd] = i(δbcLad +δadLbc −δacLbd −δbdLac) (2) [Lab, Xc] = i(δbcXa−δacXb) (3) [Xa, Xb]=0.(4) An explici ealisa ion o his algeb a in he con inuum is Lab =i Xa ∂ ∂Xb −Xb ∂ ∂Xa!(5) 3 ac ing on unc ions and Xabeing commu a i e mul iplica ion by he co- o dina es. The algeb a will now be de o med, essen ially using he in e se o In¨on¨u- Wigne con ac ion. Le Xa:= µLa,N+2, wi h µ eal, and eplace he com- mu a o (4) abo e wi h [Xa, Xb] = −iµ2Lab,(6) lea ing he o he commu a o s unchanged. The Euclidean g oup EN+1 is hus de o med o SO(N+ 2) [LAB, LCD] = i(δBCLAD +δADLBC −δACLBD −δBDLAC),(7) whe e A, B, C, D = 1, . . . , N + 2 and La,N+2 =−LN+2,a. In e ms o he quad a ic Casimi s1CN+1 2= (1/2)LabLab and CN+2 2= (1/2)LABLAB we see ha XaXa=µ2CN+2 2−CN+1 2.(8) While i may be emp ing o hink o Xain (8) as co-o dina es on a uzzy sphe e we mus be ca e ul: a gene al i educible ep esen a ion o SO(N+2) will decompose in o a sum o di e en i educible ep esen a ions o SO(N+ 1), wi h di e en alues o CN+1 2, so he igh -hand side o (8) will no be cen- al. Howe e XaXais cen al in he undamen al spino ep esen a ion o Spin(N+ 2). To see his conside he e en and odd cases sepa a ely: •E en N: choose one chi ali y o spino wi h 2N/2componen s. Unde Spin(N+ 2) →Spin(N+ 1) his educes uniquely o he single spino ep esen a ion o Spin(N+ 1), which has he same dimension. In his case he igh -hand side o (8) is a mul iple o he iden i y. •Odd N: in his case he 2N/2dimensional spino ep esen a ion o Spin(N+ 2) decomposes in o wo spino ep esen a ions o opposi e chi ali y unde SO(N+ 2) →SO(N+ 1), bo h o dimension 2(N/2)−1. Bu he second o de Casimi CN+1 2has he same alue on he wo chi ali ies, i does no dis inguish be ween hem, [18]. So again he igh -hand side o (8) is a mul iple o he iden i y. The undamen al spino ep esen a ions o Spin(k) ha e quad a ic Casimi Ck 2=k(k−1)/4 o bo h e en and odd k, see [18] o example.

Le us now in es iga e he geome y o he space gene a ed by he adjoin ac ion o Spin(N+ 2) on a iducial di ec ion XN+1 ( he “no h pole” o SN F). Clea ly [Lαβ, XN+1] = 0 o α, β = 1, . . . , N, so Spin(N) lea es XN+1 in a ian . Also LN+1,N+2 commu es wi h XN+1, since hey a e jus mul iples o one ano he , so he SO(2) gene a ed by LN+1,N+2 also lea es Xain a ian . The upsho o his is ha he mani old ha D(g)∈Spin(N+ 2) gene a es wi h he ac ion D−1(g)XN+1D(g) (10) is he o hogonal G assmannian QN, which has dimension 2N.

Any enso ha is an i-symme ic in h ee o mo e o i s indices mus anish when es ic ed o a ep esen a ion o SO(2) and hence canno con- ibu e o he ha monic expansion o unc ions on QN.
