In this paper, we define an extension of the supersymmetric hyperbolic nonlinear sigma model introduced by Zirnbauer. We show that it arises as a weak joint limit of a time-changed version introduced by Sabot and Tarr\`es of the…
We study the non-linear supersymmetric hyperbolic sigma model $H^{2|2}$ on a complete graph with hierarchical interactions. For interactions which do not decrease too fast in the hierarchical distance, we prove tightness of certain spin…
We consider a family of nonlinear sigma models on $\mathbb{Z}^{d}$ whose target space is the hyperbolic super manifold $H^{2|2n}$, $n >1$, introduced by Crawford as an extension of Zirnbauer's $H^{2|2}$ model for disordered systems. We…
We develop a perturbative approach to study the supersymmetric non-linear sigma model characterized by a generic coupling matrix in the strong coupling limit. The method allows us to calculate explicitly the moments of the eigenfunctions…
In this paper we study a family of nonlinear $\sigma$-models in which the target space is the super manifold $H^{2|2N}$. These models generalize Zirnbauer's $H^{2|2}$ nonlinear $\sigma$-model which has a number of special features for which…
Padmanabhan (1996) has suggested a model to relate the nonlinear two - point correlation function to the linear two - point correlation function. In this paper, we extend this model in two directions: (1) By averaging over the initial…
We study (unrooted) random forests on a graph where the probability of a forest is multiplicatively weighted by a parameter $\beta>0$ per edge. This is called the arboreal gas model, and the special case when $\beta=1$ is the uniform forest…
We investigate perfect matchings and essential spanning forests in planar hyperbolic graphs via circle packings. We prove the existence of nonconstant harmonic Dirichlet functions that vanish in a closed set of the boundary, generalizing a…
In this paper a two dimensional non-linear sigma model with a general symplectic manifold with isometry as target space is used to study symplectic blowing up of a point singularity on the zero level set of the moment map associated with a…
We show that for all the three standard symmetry classes (unitary, orthogonal and symplectic), the conventional replica nonlinear sigma model gives the correct non-perturbative result for the two-level correlation functions R_2(\omega) of…
We revisit supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models on the target manifold $CP^{N-1}$ and $SO(N)/SO(N-2)\times U(1)$ in four dimensions. These models are formulated as gauged linear models, but it is indicated that the Wess-Zumino term should…
We study level correlations of disordered systems with chiral unitary symmetry (AIII symmetry). We use a random matrix model with a finite correlation length to derive a supersymmetric nonlinear sigma model. The result is compared with…
We generalize the nonlinear sigma model treatment of quantum spin chains to cases including ferromagnetic bonds. When these bonds are strong enough, the classical ground state is no longer the standard Neel order and we present an extension…
Using large $N$ arguments, we propose a scheme for calculating the two-point eigenvector correlation function for non-normal random matrices in the large $N$ limit. The setting generalizes the quaternionic extension of free probability to…
We consider a classical random-bond Ising model (RBIM) with binary distribution of $\pm K$ bonds on the square lattice at finite temperature. In the phase diagram of this model there is the so-called Nishimori line which intersects the…
Motivated by the recent interest in the criticality of open quantum many-body systems, we study nonlinear sigma models with complexified couplings as a general framework for nonunitary field theory. Applying the perturbative…
