Realization of the fuzzy geometry

The space(-time) non-commutativity comes from that of the more fundamental space.

Then, the hyperboloid also becomes fuzzy.

This demonstrates the philosophy of Twistor !

First. the Hopf spinor space becomes fuzzy.

Topological Excitations Topological excitations are generated by flux penetrations.

We have seen close relations between QHE and Twistors.

Immediate Questions

Deeper reasons for the analogies?

(Prof. Toppan’s talk) etc. etc.
