Abstract

The Landau model is the mathematical platform of the 4D quantum Hall effect and provide a rare opportunity for a physical realization of the fuzzy four-sphere. We present an integrated analysis of the Landau models and the associated matrix geometries through the Landau level projection. With the monopole harmonics, we explicitly derive matrix geometry of a four-sphere in any Landau level: In the lowest Landau level the matrix coordinates are given by the generalized gamma matrices of the fuzzy four-sphere satisfying the quantum Nambu algebra, while in higher Landau levels the matrix geometry becomes a nested fuzzy structure realizing a pure quantum geometry with no counterpart in classical geometry. The internal fuzzy geometry structure is discussed in the view of an Pauli-Schrödinger model and the Landau model, where we unveil a hidden singular gauge transformation between their background non-Abelian field configurations. Relativistic versions of the Landau model are also investigated and relationship to the Berezin-Toeplitz quantization is clarified. We finally discuss the matrix geometry of the Landau models in even higher dimensions.
