A Remark on the Geometry of Two-Dimensional Anisotropic Non-Linear Sigma-Models

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

One discusses here the connection between \sigma-model gauge anomalies and the existence of a connection with torsion that does not flatten the Ricci tensor of the target manifold, by considering a number of non-symmetric coset spaces. The influence of an eventual anisotropy on a certain direction of the target manifold is also contemplated.
