We extend the (gauged) Skyrme model to the case in which the global isospin group (which usually is taken to be $SU(N)$) is a generic compact connected Lie group $G$. We analyze the corresponding field equations in (3+1) dimensions from a…
The shift locus is the space of normalized polynomials in one complex variable for which every critical point is in the attracting basin of infinity. The method of sausages gives a (canonical) decomposition of the shift locus in each degree…

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…
Generalizing the quantum sine-Gordon and sausage models, we construct exact S-matrices for higher spin representations with quantum U_q(su(2)) symmetry, which satisfy unitarity, crossing-symmetry, and the Yang-Baxter equations with…
In this paper, we investigate the spectral properties of the staggered six-vertex model with ${\cal Z}_2$ symmetry for arbitrary system sizes $L$ using non-linear integral equations (NLIEs). Our study is motivated by two key questions: what…

The notion of $q$-deformed lattice gauge theory is introduced. If the deformation parameter is a root of unity, the weak coupling limit of a 3-$d$ partition function gives a topological invariant for a corresponding 3-manifold. It enables…
