Abstract
We present a systematic organization of functions and operators on the fuzzy 2-sphere in terms of string modes, which are optimally localized in position and momentum space. This allows to separate the semi-classical and the deep quantum regime of non-commutative quantum field theory, and exhibits its nonlocal nature. This organization greatly simplifies the computation of loop contributions, avoiding oscillatory integrals and providing the effective action directly in position space. UV/IR mixing is understood as nonlocality arising from long string modes in the loops. The method is suited for any quantized symplectic space.
