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…
We investigate the geometric characteristics of constant gaussian curvature surfaces obtained from solutions of the $G(m,n)$ sigma model. Most of these solutions are related to the Veronese sequence. We show that we can distinguish surfaces…
Two-dimensional $O(N)$ non-linear sigma models are exactly solvable theories and have many applications, from statistical mechanics to their use as QCD toy models. We consider a supersymmetric extension, the non-linear sigma model on the…
In this paper, we mainly establish the existence of at least three non-trivial solutions for a class of nonhomogeneous quasilinear elliptic systems with Dirichlet boundary value or Neumann boundary value in a bounded domain…
This talk is based on a recent paper$^{1}$ of ours. In an attempt to understand three-dimensional conformal field theories, we study in detail one such example --the large $N$ limit of the $O(N)$ non-linear sigma model at its non-trivial…
We construct the general O(N)-symmetric non-linear sigma model in 2+1 spacetime dimensions at the Lifshitz point with dynamical critical exponent z=2. For a particular choice of the free parameters, the model is asymptotically free with the…
The O(n) non-linear $\sigma$-model is simulated on 2-dimensional regular and random lattices. We use two different levels of randomness in the construction of the random lattices and give a detailed explanation of the geometry of such…
In this paper, we propose using the nonlinear sigma model (NLSM) with the Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) term as a general description of deconfined quantum critical points that separate two spontaneously symmetry-breaking (SSB) phases in…
Investigations are made on the saddle point calculations (SPC) under the auxiliary field method in path integrations. Two different ways of SPC are considered, Method(I) and Method(II), to be checked in an integral representation of the…
We study the gauge invariance of the supersymmetric grassmannian sigma model $G(M,N)$. It is richer then its purely bosonic submodel and we show how to use it in order to reduce some constant curvature holomorphic solutions of the model…
We study large $N$ limits of the hyperbolic $O(N)$ linear sigma model ($\text{HLSM}_N$) on the two-dimensional torus $\mathbb T^2$, namely, a system of $N$ interacting stochastic damped nonlinear wave equations (SdNLW) with coupled cubic…
We clarify the discussion of N=2 supersymmetric boundary conditions for the classical d=2, N=(2,2) Non-Linear Sigma Model on an infinite strip. Our conclusions about the supersymmetric cycles match the results found in the literature.…
Witten's Gauged Linear $\sigma$-Model (GLSM) unifies the Gromov-Witten theory and the Landau-Ginzburg theory, and provides a global perspective on mirror symmetry. In this article, we summarize a mathematically rigorous construction of the…
We derive a non-linear sigma model (NLSM) generally representing antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chains with inhomogeneous spin magnitudes and inhomogeneous nearest-neighbor exchange constants arrayed in finite periods. Only a restriction…
The partition function of a two-dimensional quantum gauge theory in the large-$N$ limit is expressed as the functional integral over some scalar field. The large-$N$ saddle point equation is presented and solved. The free energy is…
We construct a $GL$-invariant measure on a semi-infinite Grassmannian over a finite field, describe the natural group of symmetries of this measure, and decompose the space $L^2$ over the Grassmannian on irreducible representations. The…
We study the non-perturbative dynamics of the two dimensional ${O(N)}$ and Grassmannian sigma models by using compactification with twisted boundary conditions on $\mathbb R \times S^1$, semi-classical techniques and resurgence. While the…
In this paper we study the large N limit of the $O(N)$-invariant linear sigma model, which is a vector-valued generalization of the $\Phi^4$ quantum field theory, on the three dimensional torus. We study the problem via its stochastic…
Noncompact SO(1,N) sigma-models are studied in terms of their large N expansion in a lattice formulation in dimensions d \geq 2. Explicit results for the spin and current two-point functions as well as for the Binder cumulant are presented…
We derive field theory descriptions for measurement-induced phase transitions in free fermion systems. We focus on a multi-flavor Majorana chain, undergoing Hamiltonian evolution with continuous monitoring of local fermion parity operators.…
