The fuzzy sphere

A model of Euclidean spacetime is presented in which at scales less than a certain length kappa the notion of a point does not exist. At scales larger then kappa the model resembles the 2-sphere S2. The algebra which determines the structure of the model, and which replaces the algebra of functions, is an algebra of matrices. The order of n of the matrices is connected with the length kappa and the radius r of the sphere by the relation kappa approximately r/n. The elements of differential calculus are sketched as well as the possible definitions of a metric and linear connection. A definition of the path integral is given and a few examples of field theory on a fuzzy sphere are finally referred to.
