The type IIB matrix model is a promising nonperturbative formulation of superstring theory, which may elucidate the emergence of (3+1)-dimensional space-time. However, the partition function is divergent due to the Lorentz symmetry, which is represented by a noncompact group. This divergence has been regularized conventionally by introducing some infrared cutoff, which breaks the Lorentz symmetry. Here we point out that Lorentz invariant observables become classical as one removes the infrared cutoff and that this "classicalization" is actually an artifact of the Lorentz symmetry breaking cutoff. In order to overcome this problem, we propose a natural way to "gauge-fix" the Lorentz symmetry in a fully nonperturbative manner. This also enables us to perform numerical simulations in such a way that the time-evolution can be extracted directly from the matrix configurations.

Quantization of Algebraic Varieties Defined by Casimir Polynomials via Matrix Regularization: Fuzzy $S^7$ and Beyond
A weak matrix regularization of any single-Casimir level set of a compact semisimple Lie algebra is built from reducible representations whose coadjoint orbits densely fill the variety, with fuzzy S^7 worked out explicitly.

Minimal covariant quantum space-time
The minimal covariant quantum space-time M^{1,3}_0 is shown to be a quantized twistor space, an S2 bundle over a k=-1 FLRW space-time, with localized quasi-coherent states.
