We explore non-Abelian strings in the r=N-1 vacuum of N=2 supersymmetric QCD with the gauge group U(N) and N_f flavors of quarks (N_f\geq N), where r is the number of condensed quarks. N=2 supersymmetry is broken down to N=1 by a small mass…

Non-perturbative renormalization group approach suggests that a large class of nonlinear sigma models are renormalizable in three dimensional space-time, while they are non-renormalizable in perturbation theory. ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric…

D-theory provides an alternative lattice regularization of the (1+1)-d CP(N-1) quantum field theory. In this formulation the continuous classical CP(N-1) fields emerge from the dimensional reduction of discrete SU(N) quantum spins. In…

In this paper we examine analytically the large-$N$ gap equation and its solution for the $2D$ $\mathbb{CP}^{N-1}$ sigma model defined on a Euclidean spacetime torus of arbitrary shape and size ($L, \beta)$, $\beta$ being the inverse…

We study a class of four-dimensional N=1 heterotic string theories which have nontrivial quantum dynamics arising from asymptotically free gauge groups. These models are obtained by orbifolding 4d N=2 heterotic/type II dual pairs by…

We investigate the critical behavior of three-dimensional ferromagnetic CP(N-1) models, which are characterized by a global U(N) and a local U(1) symmetry. We perform numerical simulations of a lattice model for N=2, 3, and 4. For N=2 we…

We construct "connected" (0,2) sigma models starting from n copies of (2,2) CP(N-1) models. General aspects of models of this type (known as T+O deformations) had been previously studied in the context of heterotic string theories. Our…

We consider two-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ sigma models with the CP(1) target space. A minimal model of this type has one left-handed fermion. Nonminimal extensions contain, in addition, $N_f$ right-handed fermions. Our task is to…

The two dimensional supersymmetric CP(N-1) model has a striking similarity to the N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory in four dimensions. The BPS mass formula and the curve of the marginal stability (CMS), which exist in the four dimensional…

We consider the role of quantum effects in the non-perturbative decay of non-abelian string with orientational moduli in non-supersymmetric D=4 gauge theory. To this aim the effective action in the $CP(N-1)$ model on a disc at large N has…

We present numerical results for 2-d CP(N-1) models at \theta=0 and \pi obtained in the D-theory formulation. In this formulation we construct an efficient cluster algorithm and we show numerical evidence for a first order transition for…

We apply the higher-order tensor renormalization group to the lattice CP($N-1$) model in two dimensions. A tensor network representation of the CP($N-1$) model in the presence of the $\theta$ term is derived. We confirm that the numerical…

We reconsider the issue of embedding space-time fermions into the four-dimensional N=2 world-sheet supersymmetric string. A new heterotic theory is constructed, taking the right-movers from the N=4 topological extension of the conventional…

We study the phase diagram of the two-dimensional N=1 Wess-Zumino model on the lattice using Wilson fermions and the fermion loop formulation. We give a complete nonperturbative determination of the ground state structure in the continuum…

We review physical scenarios in different vacua of N=2 supersymmetric QCD deformed by the mass term \mu for the adjoint matter. This deformation breaks supersymmetry down to N=1 and, at large \mu, the theory flows to N=1 SQCD. We focus on…

The renormalizability of the three dimensional supersymmetric CP^(N - 1) model is discussed in the 1/N-expansion method, to all orders of 1/N. The model has N copies of the dynamical field and the amplitudes are expanded in powers of 1/N.…

We study two-dimensional weighted ${\mathcal N}=2$ supersymmetric $\mathbb{CP}$ models with the goal of exploring their infrared (IR) limit. $\mathbb{WCP}(N,\widetilde{N})$ are simplified versions of world-sheet theories on non-Abelian…

The phase structure of the lattice CP($N-1$) model in two dimensions is analyzed by the tensor renormalization group (TRG) method. We focus on the case $N=2$ and compare the numerical result of the TRG method with that of the…
