Abstract:
We study the noncommutative geometry associated to matrices of N quantum dots in the matrix models. The earlier work established a surface embedded in flat R^3 from three Hermitian matrices. We construct coherent states corresponding to points in the emergent geometry and find the original matrices determine not only shape of the emergent surface, but also a unique Poisson structure. We prove that commutators of matrix operators correspond to Poisson brackets. Through our construction, we can realize arbitrary noncommutative membranes embedded in R^3.
