For the class of $1+1$ dimensional field theories referred to as the non-linear sigma models, there is known to be a deep connection between classical integrability and one-loop renormalizability. In this work, the phenomenon is reviewed on…
We present a general construction of integrable degenerate $\mathcal E$-models on a 2d manifold $\Sigma$ using the formalism of Costello and Yamazaki based on 4d Chern-Simons theory on $\Sigma \times \mathbb{C}P^1$. We begin with a…
We present a superfield formulation of the chiral de Rham complex (CDR) of Malikov-Schechtman-Vaintrob in the setting of a general smooth manifold, and use it to endow CDR with superconformal structures of geometric origin. Given a…
A few years ago, some of us devised a method to obtain integrable systems in (2+1)-dimensions from the classical non-Abelian pure Chern-Simons action via reduction of the gauge connection in Hermitian symmetric spaces. In this paper we show…
We discuss the deformed sigma-model that arises when considering four-dimensional N=2 abelian vector multiplets in the presence of an arbitrary chiral background field. In addition, we allow for a class of deformations of special geometry…
We present evidence for renormalization group fixed points with dual magnetic descriptions in fourteen new classes of four-dimensional $N=1$ supersymmetric models. Nine of these classes are chiral and many involve two or three gauge groups.…
We study interacting massive N=(2,2) supersymmetric field theories in two dimensions which arise from deforming conformal field theories with a continuous spectrum. Firstly, we deform N=2 superconformal Liouville theory with relevant…
We couple non-linear $\sigma$-models to Liouville gravity, showing that integrability properties of symmetric space models still hold for the matter sector. Using similar arguments for the fermionic counterpart, namely Gross--Neveu-type…
We show that flag manifold $\sigma$-models (including $\mathbb{CP}^{n-1}$, Grassmannian models as special cases) and their deformed versions may be cast in the form of gauged bosonic Thirring/Gross-Neveu-type systems. Quantum mechanically…
We construct supersymmetric conformal sigma models in three dimensions. Nonlinear sigma models in three dimensions are nonrenormalizable in perturbation theory. We use the Wilsonian renormalization group equation method, which is one of the…
We consider non(anti)commutative superspace with coordinate dependent deformation parameters $C^{\alpha\beta}$. We show that a chiral ${\cal N}=1/2$ supersymmetry can be defined and that chiral and antichiral superfields are still closed…
Gapless Dirac fermions appear as quasiparticle excitations in various condensed-matter systems. They feature quantum critical points with critical behavior in the 2+1 dimensional Gross-Neveu universality class. The precise determination of…
We show that the noncommutativity of space-time destroys the renormalizability of the 1/N expansion of the O(N) Gross-Neveu model. A similar statement holds for the noncommutative nonlinear sigma model. However, we show that, up to the…
A multi-parameter integrable deformation of the principal chiral model is presented. The Yang-Baxter and bi-Yang-Baxter sigma-models, the principal chiral model plus a Wess-Zumino term and the TsT transformation of the principal chiral…
We study two-dimensional nonlinear sigma models with target spaces being the complex super Grassmannian manifolds, that is, coset supermanifolds $G(m,p|n,q)\cong U(m|n)/[U(p|q)\otimes U(m-p|n-q)]$ for $0\leq p \leq m$, $0\leq q \leq n$ and…
The four-dimensional Chern-Simons (CS) theory provides a systematic procedure for realizing two-dimensional integrable field theories. It is therefore a natural question to ask whether integrable deformations of the theories can be realized…
We construct a global geometric model for the bosonic sector and Killing spinor equations of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ supergravity coupled to a chiral non-linear sigma model and a Spin$^{c}_0$ structure. The model involves a…
We study the $SU(2)$ Principal Chiral Model (PCM) in the presence of an integrable $\eta$-deformation. We put the theory on $\mathbb{R}\times S^1$ with twisted boundary conditions and then reduce the circle to obtain an effective quantum…
We study numerically on the lattice the 2D Yukawa model with the U(1) chiral symmetry and $N_F$ = 16 at infinite scalar field self-coupling. The scaling behaviour of the fermion mass, as the Yukawa coupling approaches zero, is analysed…
We perform a systematic classification of (2+1)d Gross--Neveu--Yukawa-like models built out of one or more 4-component Dirac fermions and $M$ scalar fields, which preserve an O($M$) symmetry rotating the scalars. We then identify the…
