Non linear $\sigma$ models : renormalisability versus geometry

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

After some recalls on the standard (non)-linear σ\sigma model, we discuss the interest of B.R.S. symmetry in non-linear σ\sigma models renormalisation. We also emphasise the importance of a correct definition of a theory through physical constraints rather than as given by a particular Lagrangian and discuss some ways to enlarge the notion of renormalisability.
