Starting from the action of $(4,4)$ $2D$ twisted multiplets in the harmonic superspace with a double set of $SU(2)$ harmonic variables, we present its generalization which provides an off-shell description of a wide class of $(4,4)$ sigma…
We define basics of $(4,4)\;\; 2D$ harmonic superspace with two independent sets of $SU(2)$ harmonic variables and apply it to construct new superfield actions of $(4,4)$ supersymmetric two-dimensional sigma models with torsion and mutually…
We study two-dimensional ${\cal N}=(2,2)$ gauge theory and its dualized system in terms of complex (linear) superfields and their alternatives. Although this technique itself is not new, we can obtain a new model, the so-called…
We show how to obtain the O(N) non-linear sigma model in two dimensions as a strong coupling limit of the corresponding linear sigma model. In taking the strong coupling limit, the squared mass parameter must be given a specific coupling…
Motivated by the results in {\tt hep-th/0508228}, we perform a careful analysis of the allowed linear constraints on $N=(2,2)$ scalar superfields. We show that only chiral, twisted-chiral and semi-chiral superfields are possible. Various…
We review the projective-superspace construction of four-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric sigma models on (co)tangent bundles of the classical Hermitian symmetric spaces.
We study N=2 supersymmetric Chern-Simons Higgs models in $(2+1)$-dimensions. As we will demonstrate, an extended supersymmetric quantum mechanics algebras underlies the fermionic zero modes quantum system and the zero modes corresponding to…
Two models of candidates for hereditary symmetry operators are proposed and thus many nonlinear systems of evolution equations possessing infinitely many commutative symmetries may be generated. Some concrete structures of hereditary…
We show that the infinite series in the classical action for non(anti)commutative N=2 sigma models in two dimensions, can be resummed by using constraint equations of the auxiliary fields. We argue that the resulting action takes a standard…
The conditions under which a general two-dimensional non-linear sigma model is classically integrable are given. These requirements are found by demanding that the equations of motion of the theory are expressible as a zero curvature…
The extension structure of the 2-dimensional current algebra of non-linear sigma models is analysed by introducing Kostant Sternberg $(L,M)$ systems. It is found that the algebra obeys a two step extension by abelian ideals. The second step…
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…
It is known that supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models for the compact Kahler manifolds G/H cannot be consistently coupled to supergravity, since the Kahler potentials are not invariant under the G transformation. We show that the…
In this paper, we present and classify the supersymmetric extensions of extended kinematical algebras, at the basis of non-Lorentzian physics theories. The diverse kinematical superalgebras are here derived by applying non- and…
In this paper we reopen the discussion of gauging the two-dimensional off-shell (2,2) supersymmetric sigma models written in terms of semichiral superfields. The associated target space geometry of this particular sigma model is generalized…
We consider the construction of $SU(2)_{L}\otimes SU(2)_{R}\otimes SU(4)$ partial unification models as an example of phenomenologically acceptable unification models in the absence of supersymmetry in non-commutative geometry. We exploit…
We construct various kinds of gauged noncommutative WZW models. In particular, axial gauged noncommutative U(2)/U(1) WZW model is studied and by integrating out the gauge fields, we obtain a noncommutative non-linear $\sigma$-model.
In this work we discuss the phase structure of a deformed supersymmetric nonlinear sigma model in a three-dimensional space-time. The deformation is introduced by a term that breaks supersymmetry explicitly, through imposing a slightly…
