Abstract

Abstract We study the size and shape statistics of ground state fuzzy spheres when projected onto the transverse plane, utilizing the regularized SU ( N = 2 ) matrix model in D = ( 1 + 3 ) -dimensional spacetime. We show that they appear as ellipses, from matrix/membrane correspondence. With our numerical and analytical approximation for the ground state wavefunction, we provide estimations for their expectation surface areas, perimeters, eccentricities, and shape-parameters. These geometric constants of quantum membranes deviate drastically from classical mechanics.
