Matter-gravity coupling for fuzzy geometry and the Landau-Hall problem
arXiv:2008.11261 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.102.105008
Abstract
We consider a set of physical degrees of freedom coupled to a finite-dimensional Hilbert space, which may be taken as modeling a fuzzy space or as the lowest Landau level of a Landau-Hall problem. These may be viewed as matter fields on a fuzzy space. Sequentially generalizing to arbitrary backgrounds, we argue that the effective action is given by the Chern-Simons form associated with the Dirac index density (with gauge and gravitational fields), with an abelian gauge field shifted by the Poincaré-Cartan form for matter dynamics. The result is an action for matter fields where the Lagrangian is integrated with a density which is a specific polynomial in the curvatures.
