We discuss bosonization of non-Hermitian PT invariant fermion models in $d=2$ space-time dimensions within the path-integral approach in which the generating functionals associated to the fermion and boson models can be related. We first…
We show that it is possible to obtain the Gross-Neveu model in 1+1 dimensions from gauge fields only. This is reminiscent of the fact that in 1+1 dimensions the gauge field tensor is essentially a pseudo-scalar. We also show that it is…
We study, for the first time, the phase structure of the Gross--Neveu model with a combination of a (constant) gravitational and a magnetic field. This has been made possible by our finding of an exact solution to the problem, namely the…
Supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models have target spaces that carry interesting geometry. The geometry is richer the more supersymmetries the model has. The study of models with two dimensional world sheets is particularly rewarding since…
This work shows that the known phase boundary between the phase with chiral symmetry and the phase of spatially inhomogeneous chiral symmetry breaking in the phase diagram of the $(1 + 1)$-dimensional chiral Gross-Neveu model can be…
The development of the Exact Renormalization Group for fermionic theories is presented, together with its application to the chiral Gross-Neveu model. We focus on the reliability of various approximations, specifically the derivative…
We consider a novel class of constraints on chiral superfields to obtain supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models in four spacetime dimensions, which strictly combine the internal symmetry breaking with spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. The…
Classical gravitating field theories reduced to three dimensions admit manifest gauge invariances and hidden symmetries, which together make up the invariance group G of the theory. If this group is large enough, the target space is a…
We study the thermodynamics of massive Gross-Neveu models with explicitly broken discrete or continuous chiral symmetries for finite temperature and fermion densities. The large $N$ limit is discussed bearing attention to the no-go theorems…
We illustrate the phase structure of a deformed two-dimensional Gross-Neveu model which is defined by undeformed field contents plus deformed Pauli matrices. This deformation is based on two motives to find a more general polymer model and…
We show that the chiral Gross-Neveu model in $2+ \epsilon$ dimensions has for a small number $N$ of fermions two phase transitions corresponding to pair formation and pair condensation. In the first transition, fermions and antifermions…
The aim of this paper is to investigate the non-relativistic limit of integrable quantum field theories with fermionic fields, such as the O(N) Gross-Neveu model, the supersymmetric Sinh-Gordon and non-linear sigma models. The…
By providing a general correspondence between Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds and non-linear sigma models, we find that the elusive mirror of a rigid manifold is actually a supermanifold. We also discuss when sigma models with super-target spaces…
We consider intersecting D-brane models which have two dimensional chiral fermions localized at the intersections. At weak coupling, the interactions of these fermions are described by generalized Gross-Neveu models. At strong coupling,…
We prove that the supersymmetric deformed $ \mathbb{CP}^{1} $ sigma model (the generalization of the Fateev-Onofri-Zamolodchikov model) admits an equivalent description as a generalized Gross-Neveu model. This formalism is useful for the…
We review the relation between homotopy algebras of conformal field theory and geometric structures arising in sigma models. In particular we formulate conformal invariance conditions, which in the quasi-classical limit are Einstein…
The generalization of the Gross-Neveu model for noncommutative 3+1 space-time has been analyzed. We find indications that the chiral symmetry breaking occurs for an inhomogeneous background as in the LOFF phase in condensed matter.
We consider the Gross-Neveu model with a continuous chiral symmetry in two and three spacetime dimensions at zero and finite temperature. In order to study long-range phase coherence, we construct an effective low-energy Lagrangian for the…
It is well-known that sigma-models with symmetric target spaces are classically integrable. At the example of the model with target space the flag manifold U(3)/U(1)^3 -- a non-symmetric space -- we show that the introduction of torsion…
Recent studies of the thermodynamic phase diagrams of the Gross-Neveu model (GN2), and its chiral cousin, the NJL2 model, have shown that there are phases with inhomogeneous crystalline condensates. These (static) condensates can be found…
