Abstract: Whereas the classical sphere CP1 can be defined as the coordinate algebra generated by the matrix entries of a projector e with race(e)=1, the fuzzy-sphere is defined in the same way by race(e)=1+lambda. We show that the standard q-sphere is similarly defined by raceq(e)=1 and the Podles 2-spheres by raceq(e)=1+lambda, thereby giving a unified point of view in which the 2-parameter Podles spheres are q-fuzzy spheres. We show further that they arise geometrically as `constant time slices' of the unit hyperboloid in q-Minkowski space viewed as the braided group Bq[SU2]. Their localisations are then isomorphic to quotients of Uq(su2) at fixed values of the q-Casimir precisely q-deforming the fuzzy case. We use transmutation and twisting theory to introduce a Cq[GC]-covariant calculus on general Bq[G] and Uq(g), and use Omega(Bq[SU2]) to provide a unified point of view on the 3D calculi on fuzzy and Podles spheres. To complete the picture we show how the covariant calculus on the 3D bicrossproduct spacetime arises from Omega(Cq[SU2]) prior to twisting.
