We study the integrable boundaries and crosscaps of classical sigma models. We show that there exists a classical analog of the integrability condition and KT-relation of the boundary and crosscap states of quantum spin chains. We also…
We consider mixed normed Bergman spaces on homogeneous Siegel domains. In the literature, two different approaches have been considered and several results seem difficult to be compared. In this paper we compare the results available in the…
This paper is devoted to the problem of classification, up to smooth isomorphisms or up to orbital equivalence, of smooth integrable vector fields on 2-dimensional surfaces, under some nondegeneracy conditions. The main continuous…
1+1 dimensional integrable quantum field theories correspond to a sparse subset of quantum field theories where the calculation of physically interesting observables can be brought to explicit, closed and manageable expressions thanks to…
In these lecture proceedings, we describe some of the fundamental mathematical concepts that underlie supersymmetric string theory and field theory, and their role in describing and testing dualities. In particular, we provide a pedagogical…
These lectures provide a simple introduction to supersymmetry breaking. After presenting the basics of the subject and illustrating them in tree-level examples, we discuss dynamical supersymmetry breaking, emphasizing the role of holomorphy…
These three topics are an attempt to explicate some curiosities of the inverse problem of representation theory (i.e. having a set of operators to describe the "correct" algebraic object, which is represented by them) on simple examples…
In this paper we construct topological sigma models which include a potential and are related to twisted massive supersymmetric sigma models. Contrary to a previous construction these models have no central charge and do not require the…
We investigate the quantum behaviour of sigma models on coset superspaces G/H defined by Z_{2n} gradings of G. We find that, whenever G has vanishing Killing form, there is a choice of WZ term which renders the model quantum conformal, at…
These lectures cover aspects of solitons with focus on applications to the quantum dynamics of supersymmetric gauge theories and string theory. The lectures consist of four sections, each dealing with a different soliton. We start with…
Supersymmetric extensions of Hamilton-Jacobi separable Liouville mechanical systems with two degrees of freedom are defined. It is shown that supersymmetry can be implemented in this type of systems in two independent ways. The structure of…
We describe three analytic classes of infinitely many AdS_d supersymmetric solutions of massive IIA supergravity, for d = 7, 5, 4. The three classes are related by simple universal maps. For example, the AdS_7 x M_3 solutions (where M_3 is…
Some aspects and applications of $ \sigma$-models in particle and condensed matter physics are briefly reviewed.
In these 4 lectures, I give a brief introduction to the principles of effective field theory and discuss their application via 3 examples: (i) the Standard Model as an effective theory; (ii) non-linear sigma models and the composite Higgs;…
A brief review of some aspects of heterotic (0,2) compactifications in the framework of exactly solvable superconformal field theories and gauged linear sigma models is presented.
A general class of deformations of integrable sigma-models with symmetric space F/G target-spaces are found. These deformations involve defining the non-abelian T dual of the sigma-model and then replacing the coupling of the Lagrange…
In terms of the gauged nonlinear $\sigma$-models, we describe some results and implications of solving the following problem: Given a smooth symplectic manifold as target space with a quasi-free Hamiltonian group action, perform the…
We consider classical and quantum integrable sigma models and their relations with the solutions of renormalization group equations. We say that an integrable sigma model possesses the "nice" duality property if the dual quantum field…
Utilizing (4,0) superfields, we discuss aspects of supersymmetric sigma models and the ADHM construction of instantons a' la Witten.
We review the duality and integrability of N=6 superconformal Chern-Simons theory in three dimensions and IIA superstring theory on the background AdS4xCP3. We introduce both of these models and describe how their degrees of freedom are…
