We construct the soliton solutions in the symmetric space sine-Gordon theories. The latter are a series of integrable field theories in 1+1-dimensions which are associated to a symmetric space F/G, and are related via the Pohlmeyer…
We show that the dressing transformation method produces a new type of dyonic CP^n magnon in terms of which all the other known solutions are either composites or arise as special limits. In particular, this includes the embedding of…
The symmetric space sine-Gordon models arise by conformal reduction of ordinary 2-dim $\sigma$-models, and they are integrable exhibiting a black-hole type metric in target space. We provide a Lagrangian formulation of these systems by…
The motion of strings on symmetric space target spaces underlies the integrability of the AdS/CFT correspondence. Although these theories, whose excitations are giant magnons, are non-relativistic they are classically equivalent, via the…
Giant magnons are one of the main manifestations of integrability on the string theory side of the AdS/CFT correspondence. Motivated by the recent advances in their study, especially in the context of the string theory dual of ABJM theory,…
The analogues of giant magnon configurations are studied on the string world sheet in the lambda background. This is a discrete deformation of the AdS(5)xS(5) background that preserves the integrability of the world sheet theory. Giant…
The generalized symmetric space sine-Gordon theories are a series of 1+1-integrable field theories that are classically equivalent to superstrings on symmetric space spacetimes F/G. They are formulated in terms of a semi-symmetric space as…
In this note, we summarize recent progress in constructing and then semi-classically quantizing solitons, or non-abelian Q-balls, in the symmetric space sine-Gordon theories. We then consider the images of these solitons in the related…
We study a family of classical string solutions with large spins on R x S^3 subspace of AdS_5 x S^5 background, which are related to Complex sine-Gordon solitons via Pohlmeyer's reduction. The equations of motion for the classical strings…
We use a Pohlmeyer type reduction to generate classical string solutions in AdS spacetime. In this framework we describe a correspondence between spikes in AdS_3 and soliton profiles of the sinh-Gordon equation. The null cusp string…
A systematic group theoretical formulation of the Pohlmeyer reduction is presented. It provides a map between the equations of motion of sigma models with target-space a symmetric space M=F/G and a class of integrable multi-component…
We find infinitely many soliton-like solutions in a deformation of the sine-Gordon theory in $(d+1)$-dimensional $AdS_{d+1}$ (anti-de Sitter) spacetime for $d \geq 2$, as well as single solitonic solutions in $dS_{d+1}$ (de Sitter) and…
We study soliton solutions in 1+1 dimensional gauged sigma models, obtained by dimensional reduction from its 2+1 dimensional counterparts. We show that the Bogomol'nyi bound of these models can be expressed in terms of two conserved…
The perturbed conformal field theories corresponding to the massive Symmetric Space sine-Gordon soliton theories are identified by calculating the central charge of the unperturbed conformal field theory and the conformal dimension of the…
We reconsider the construction of solitons by dressing transformations in the sine-Gordon model. We show that the $N$-soliton solutions are in the orbit of the vacuum, and we identify the elements in the dressing group which allow us to…
We find the solitons of massive (1,1)-supersymmetric sigma models with target space the groups $SO(2)$ and $SU(2)$ for a class of scalar potentials and compute their charge, mass and moduli space metric. We also investigate the massive…
Recently, a class of non-Lorentzian supersymmetric Lagrangian field theories was considered, in some cases describing M-theory brane configurations, but more generally found as fixed points of non-Lorentzian RG flows induced upon Lorentzian…
A new example of AdS/CFT duality relating IIA string theory on AdS_4 x CP^3 to N=6 superconformal Chern-Simons theory has recently been provided by ABJM. By now a number of papers have considered particular giant magnon classical string…
We apply the dressing method to construct new classical string solutions describing various scattering and bound states of magnons. These solutions carry one, two or three SO(6) charges and correspond to multi-soliton configurations in the…
Certain supersymmetric sigma models in 2+1 dimensions feature multi-soliton solutions, with and without scattering. We subject these systems to a non-anticommutative deformation by replacing the Grassmann algebra of the odd superspace…
