For actions with a dense orbit of a connected noncompact simple Lie group $G$, we obtain some global rigidity results when the actions preserve certain geometric structures. In particular, we prove that for a $G$-action to be equivalent to…

We approach the question of complexification of the diffeomorphism group of the circle by considering real-analytic maps from the circle into the punctured complex plane with winding number +1. Such complex deformations form an…

We present a method to deform (generically non-abelian) T duals of two-dimensional $\sigma$ models, which preserves classical integrability. The deformed models are identified by a linear operator $\omega$ on the dualised subalgebra, which…

The main purpose of this article is to develop an explicit derived deformation theory of algebraic structures at a high level of generality, encompassing in a common framework various kinds of algebras (associative, commutative, Poisson...)…

We prove that the classical integrability condition for almost complex structures on finite-dimensional smooth manifolds also works in infinite dimensions in the case of almost complex structures that are real analytic on real analytic…

Let $M_i$, for $i=1,2$, be a K\"ahler manifold, and let $G$ be a Lie group acting on $M_i$ by K\"ahler isometries. Suppose that the action admits a momentum map $\mu_i$ and let $N_i:=\mu_i^{-1}(0)$ be a regular level set. When the action of…

We consider two integrable deformations of 2d sigma models on supercosets associated with AdS_n x S^n. The first, the "eta-deformation" (based on the Yang-Baxter sigma model), is a one-parameter generalization of the standard superstring…

Nonlinear sigma models appear in a wide variety of physics contexts, such as the long-range order with spontaneously broken continuous global symmetries. There are also large classes of quantum criticality admit sigma model descriptions in…

We consider actions of non-compact simple Lie groups preserving an analytic rigid geometric structure of algebraic type on a compact manifold. The structure is not assumed to be unimodular, so an invariant measure may not exist. Ergodic…

Under some suitable assumptions Riemannian manifolds $(M, g, H)$ that admit a connection $\hat\nabla$ with torsion a 3-form $H$, which is both closed $d H=0$ and $\hat\nabla$-covariantly constant, are locally isometric to a product $N\times…

We introduce a generalization of the notion of a negligible morphism and study the associated tensor ideals and thick ideals. These ideals are defined by considering deformations of a given monoidal category $\mathcal{C}$ over a local ring…

We construct N-complexes of non completely antisymmetric irreducible tensor fields on $\mathbb R^D$ generalizing thereby the usual complex (N=2) of differential forms. These complexes arise naturally in the description of higher spin gauge…

We show how the integration of massive modes after a spontaneous symmetry breaking in a sigma model can often be interpreted as a contraction, induced by a group contraction, of the target space of the sigma model.

Generalised almost complex structures $\mathcal J$ on transitive Courant algebroids $E$ are studied in terms of their components with respect to a splitting $E\cong TM \oplus T^*M \oplus \mathcal G$, where $M$ denotes the base of $E$ and…

The algebraic structure of the integrable mixed mKdV/sinh-Gordon model is discussed and \textit{}extended to the AKNS/Lund-Regge model and to its corresponding supersymmetric versions. The integrability of the models is guaranteed from the…

On the generalized tangent bundle of a smooth manifold, we study skew-symmetric endomorphism satisfying an arbitrary polynomial equation with real constant coefficients. We study the compatibility of these structures with the de Rham…
