Abstract

We study regularization scheme dependence of β\beta-function for sigma models with two-dimensional target space. Working within four-loop approximation, we conjecture the scheme in which the β\beta-function retains only two tensor structures up to certain terms containing ζ3\zeta_3. Using this scheme, we provide explicit solutions to RG flow equation corresponding to Yang-Baxter- and λ\lambda-deformed SU(2)/U(1)SU(2)/U(1) sigma models, for which these terms disappear.
