On the fermion spectrum of spontaneously generated fuzzy extra dimensions with fluxes
Athanasios Chatzistavrakidis, Harold Steinacker, George Zoupanos
We consider certain vacua of four-dimensional SU(N) gauge theory with the same field content as the N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, resulting from potentials which break the…
Fermions and noncommutative emergent gravity II: Curved branes in extra dimensions
Daniela Klammer, Harold Steinacker
We study fermions coupled to Yang-Mills matrix models from the point of view of emergent gravity. The matrix model Dirac operator provides an appropriate coupling for fermions to t…
On the Newtonian limit of emergent NC gravity and long-distance corrections
Harold Steinacker
We show how Newtonian gravity emerges on 4-dimensional non-commutative spacetime branes in Yang-Mills matrix models. Large matter clusters such as galaxies are embedded in large-sc…
Matrix Models, Emergent Gravity, and Gauge Theory
Harold Steinacker
Matrix models of Yang-Mills type induce an effective gravity theory on 4-dimensional branes, which are considered as models for dynamical space-time. We review recent progress in t…
Cosmological solutions of emergent noncommutative gravity
Daniela Klammer, Harold Steinacker
Matrix models of Yang-Mills type lead to an emergent gravity theory, which may not require fine-tuning of a cosmological constant. We find cosmological solutions of Friedmann-Rober…
Fermions Coupled to Emergent Noncommutative Gravity
Daniela Klammer, Harold Steinacker
We study the coupling of fermions to Yang-Mills matrix models in the framework of emergent noncommutative gravity. It is shown that the matrix model action provides an appropriate…
