Abstract: We examine in detail the higher spin fields which arise on the basic fuzzy sphere SN4 in the semi-classical limit. The space of functions can be identified with functions on classical S4 taking values in a higher spin algebra associated to mathfrakso(5). We derive an explicit and complete classification of the scalars and one-forms on the semi-classical limit of SN4. The resulting kinematics is reminiscent of Vasiliev theory. Yang-Mills matrix models naturally provide an action formulation for higher spin gauge theory on S4, with 4 irreducible modes for each spin sgeq1. We diagonalize the quadratic part of the effective action and exactly evaluate the quadratic part in the spin 2 sector. By identifying the linear perturbation of the effective metric, we obtain the exact kinetic term for all graviton candidates. At the classical level, matter Tmuu leads to three different contributions to the linearized metric: one consistent with linearized GR, one more rapidly decreasing contribution, and one non-propagating contribution localized at Tmuu. The latter is too large to be physically acceptable, unless there is a significant induced quantum action. This issue should be resolved on generalized fuzzy spaces.
