Abstract

We continue studying regularization scheme dependence of the N=2\mathcal{N}=2 supersymmetric sigma models. In the present work the previous result for the four loop β\beta-function is extended to the five loop order. Namely, we find the renormalization scheme, in which the fifth loop contribution is completely eliminated, while the fourth loop contribution is represented by the certain invariant, which is coordinate independent for the metrics of some models. These models include complete TT-duals of the η\eta-deformed SU(n)/U(n1)SU(n)/U(n-1) models, as well as η\eta- and λ\lambda-deformed SU(2)/U(1)SU(2)/U(1) models, whose metrics solve the RG flow equation up to the fifth loop order. We also comment on the λ\lambda-deformed SU(2)/U(1)SU(2)/U(1) and SU(3)/U(2)SU(3)/U(2) case, showing that they satisfy five-loop RG flow equation, and discuss their K\"ahler structure.
