Abstrakt

We consider general k = −1 FLRW covariant quantum spacetimes $$ {\mathcal{M}}^{3,1}\times \mathcal{K} $$with fuzzy extra dimensions $$ \mathcal{K} $$as classical solutions of the IKKT matrix model. The coupled equations of motion are recast in terms of conservation laws, which allow to determine the evolution of spacetime in a transparent way. We show that $$ \mathcal{K} $$is stabilized as a classical solution in the presence of a large R charge, corresponding to internal angular momentum. This provides a mechanism to maintain a large hierarchy between UV and IR scales. We also argue that the evolution of spacetime is determined by a balance between classical and quantum effects, leading to a cosmic scale factor a(t) ~ t and constant dilaton at late times. On such a background, the undeformed IKKT model leads to a higher-spin gauge theory including gravity.
