Fuzzy spheres from inequivalent coherent states quantizations

We present a new procedure which allows a coherent state (CS) quantization of any set with a measure. It is manifest through the replacement of classical observables by CS quantum observables, which acts on a Hilbert space of prescribed dimension $N$. The algebra of CS quantum observables has the finite dimension $N^2$. The application to the 2-sphere provides a family of inequivalent CS quantizations, based on the spin spherical harmonics (the CS quantization from usual spherical harmonics appears to give a trivial issue for the cartesian coordinates). We compare these CS quantizations to the usual (Madore) construction of the fuzzy sphere. The difference allows us to consider our procedures as the constructions of new type of fuzzy spheres. The very general character of our method suggests applications to construct fuzzy versions of a variety of sets.

Quantization of the sphere with coherent states

Quantization with coherent states allows to " quantize " any space X of parameters. In the case where X is a phase space, this leads to the usual quantum mechanics. But the procedure is much more general, and does not require a symplectic, or any kind of structure in X, other than a measure. It is simply considered as a different way to look at the system, the choice of a resolution, in analogy with data handling, where coherent states (e.g., under the form of wavelets) are very efficient. Here, we present the complex coherent states quantization of the 2-sphere, with emphasis on the links with group representation. We show how this procedure leads naturally to the fuzzy sphere and to non commutative geometry.
