We invistigate exact solutions for the two-dimensional quantum field theories called Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) models. A WZNW model is a sigma model whose classical fields are applications from a bidimensional space-time (a Riemann…
We consider the effect of curved two-dimensional space-time on Witten's $N=2$ supersymmetric sigma models interpolating Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces to Landau-Ginzburg models. In order for the former models to have significant connection to…
We study N=2 nonlinear two dimensional sigma models with boundaries and their massive generalizations (the Landau-Ginzburg models). These models are defined over either Kahler or bihermitian target space manifolds. We determine the most…
In the context of integrable field theory with boundary, the integrable non-linear sigma models in two dimensions, for example, the $O(N)$, the principal chiral, the ${\rm CP}^{N-1}$ and the complex Grassmannian sigma models are discussed…
For two families of four-dimensional off-shell N = 2 supersymmetric nonlinear sigma-models constructed originally in projective superspace, we develop their formulation in terms of N = 1 chiral superfields. Specifically, these theories are:…
We gauge the (2,2) supersymmetric non-linear sigma model whose target space has bihermitian structure (g, B, J_{\pm}) with noncommuting complex structures. The bihermitian geometry is realized by a sigma model which is written in terms of…
We present several non-trivial examples of the three-dimensional quantum Nambu bracket which involve square matrices or three-index objects. Our examples satisfy two fundamental properties of the classical Nambu bracket: they are…
So far fluid mechanical Nambu brackets have mainly been given on an intuitive basis. Alternatively an algorithmic construction of such a bracket for the two-dimensional vorticity equation is presented here. Starting from the Lie--Poisson…
We analyse the global symmetry structure of two-dimensional Non-Linear Sigma Models with Wess-Zumino term. When the target space has a compact isometry without fixed points, the theory has a pair of (group-like) global symmetries and many…
In superdimension $(2|2)$ there are only three non-Abelian Lie superalgebras admitting non-degenerate ad-invariant supersymmetric metric, the well-known Lie superalgebra $gl(1|1)$, and two more, $({\C}^3 + \A)$ and $({\C}_0^5 +{\A})$. After…
We review N=(2,2) supersymmetric non-linear sigma-models in two dimensions and their relation to generalized Kahler and Calabi-Yau geometry. We illustrate this with an explicit non-trivial example.
A general algebraic condition for the functional independence of 2n-1 constants of motion of an n-dimensional maximal superintegrable Hamiltonian system has been proved for an arbitrary finite n. This makes it possible to construct, in a…
This is a study of the Landau-Ginzburg/Calabi-Yau correspondence, and related matters, using linear sigma models.
We study d=2, N=(2,2) non-linear sigma-models in (2,2) superspace. By analyzing the most general constraints on a superfield, we show that through an appropriate choice of coordinates, there are no other superfields than chiral, twisted…
Recent work Bobienski-Nurowski on 5-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with an SO(3) structure prompts us to investigate which Lie groups admit such a geometry. The case in which the SO(3) structure admits a compatible connection with torsion…
The description of the two sets of (4,0) supersymmetric models that are related by non-abelian duality transformations is given. The (4,0) supersymmetric WZNW is constructed and the formulation of the (4,0) supersymmetric sigma model dual…
We present an intuitive diagrammatic representation of a new class of integrable $\s$-models. It is shown that to any given diagram corresponds an integrable theory that couples $N$ WZW models with a certain number of each of the following…
Current-current deformations for WZW models of semisimple compact groups are discussed in a sigma model approach. We start with the abelian rank one group U(1). Afterwards, we keep the rank one but allow for non abelian structures by…
We formulate sufficient conditions for the strong integrability of dressing cosets. We provide several sigma-model backgrounds solving those conditions, some of them are new and some of them were not so far formulated as the dressing…
We discuss additional supersymmetries for N = (2, 2) supersymmetric non-linear sigma models described by left and right semichiral superfields.
