Lie algebra valued equations translating the integrability of a general two-dimensional Wess-Zumino-Witten model are given. We found simple solutions to these equations and identified three types of new integrable non-linear sigma models.…
We make an attempt to map the integrable boundary conditions for 2 dimensional non-linear O(N) $\sigma$-models. We do it at various levels: classically, by demanding the existence of infinitely many conserved local charges and also by…

We provide a pedagogical introduction to some aspects of integrability, dualities and deformations of physical systems in 0+1 and in 1+1 dimensions. In particular, we concentrate on the T-duality of point particles and strings as well as on…
A novel classically integrable model is proposed. It is a deformation of the two-dimensional principal chiral model, embedded into a heterotic $\sigma$-model, by a particular heterotic gauge field. This is inspired by the bosonic part of…

An $S$-matrix is proposed for the two dimensional O(3) $\sigma$-model with a dynamical $\theta$-term (axion model). Exploiting an Abelian T-duality transformation connecting the axion model to an integrable SU(2)$\times$U(1) symmetric…
Supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models have target spaces that carry interesting geometry. The geometry is richer the more supersymmetries the model has. The study of models with two dimensional world sheets is particularly rewarding since…
An integrable extension of the well known nonlinear Schroedinger (NLS) equation to a higher space-dimension, recently proposed by us, is investigated, exploring its various important aspects. Focusing on the idea of construction its…

We propose a Lax equation for the non-linear sigma model which leads directly to the conserved local charges of the system. We show that the system has two infinite sets of such conserved charges following from the Lax equation, much like…
