abstract
In an earlier paper of mine relating vector bundles and Gromov-Hausdorff distance for ordinary compact metric spaces, it was crucial that the Lipschitz seminorms from the metrics satisfy a strong Leibniz property. In the present paper, for the now non-commutative situation of matrix algebras converging to the sphere (or to other spaces) for quantum Gromov-Hausdorff distance, we show how to construct suitable seminorms that also satisfy the strong Leibniz property. This is in preparation for making precise certain statements in the literature of high-energy physics concerning "vector bundles" over matrix algebras that "correspond" to monopole bundles over the sphere. We show that a fairly general source of seminorms that satisfy the strong Leibniz property consists of derivations into normed bimodules. For matrix algebras our main technical tools are coherent states and Berezin symbols.
