We consider two dimensional non linear sigma models on few symmetric superspaces, which are supergroup manifolds of coset type. For those spaces where one loop beta function vanishes, two loop beta function is calculated and is shown to be…
In 2+1 dimensions, we propose a renormalizable non-linear sigma model action which describes the $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric generalization of Galilean Electrodynamics. We first start with the simplest model obtained by null reduction of…
Explicit solutions to the conifold equations with complex dimension $n=3,4$ in terms of {\it{complex coordinates (fields)}} are employed to construct the Ricci-flat K\"{a}hler metrics on these manifolds. The K\"{a}hler 2-forms are found to…
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…
In this paper, we consider the regularity theory for fully nonlinear parabolic integro-differential equations with symmetric kernels. We are able to find parabolic versions of Alexandrov-Backelman-Pucci estimate with 0<\sigma<2. And we show…
We show that the perturbative expansion of the two-level correlation function, $R(\omega)$, in disordered conductors can be understood semiclassically in terms of self-intersecting particle trajectories. This requires the extension of the…
We continue studying regularization scheme dependence of the $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric sigma models. In the present work the previous result for the four loop $\beta$-function is extended to the five loop order. Namely, we find the…
We study a three dimensional conformal field theory in terms of its partition function on arbitrary curved spaces. The large $N$ limit of the nonlinear sigma model at the non-trivial fixed point is shown to be an example of a conformal…
Long ago, Nemeschansky and Sen demonstrated that the Ricci-flat metric on a Calabi-Yau manifold could be corrected, order by order in perturbation theory, to produce a conformally invariant (2,2) nonlinear sigma model. Here we extend this…
Using the framework of supersymmetric non-linear $\sigma$-model we develop a general non-perturbative characterisation of universal features of the density $\rho(\Gamma)$ of the imaginary parts (``width'') for $S$-matrix poles…
We revisit the subject of perturbatively quantizing the nonlinear sigma model in two dimensions from a rigorous, mathematical point of view. Our main contribution is to make precise the cohomological problem of eliminating potential…
In this paper we begin the study of renormalizations in the heterotically deformed N=(0,2) CP(N-1) sigma models. In addition to the coupling constant g^2 of the undeformed N=(2,2) model, there is the second coupling constant \gamma…
We study renormalizable nonlinear sigma-models in two dimensions with N=2 supersymmetry described in superspace in terms of chiral and complex linear superfields. The geometrical structure of the underlying manifold is investigated and the…
We report the results of a Monte Carlo study of the continuum limit of the two dimensional O(3) non-linear $\sigma$ model. The notable finding is that it agrees very well with both the prediction inspired by Zamolodchikovs' S-matrix ansatz…
The O(N) non-linear sigma model in a $D$-dimensional space of the form ${\bf R}^{D-M} \times {\bf T}^M$, ${\bf R}^{D-M} \times {\bf S}^M$, or ${\bf T}^M \times {\bf S}^P$ is studied, where ${\bf R}^M$, ${\bf T}^M$ and ${\bf S}^M$ correspond…
We consider a family of nonlinear sigma models on $\mathbb{Z}^{d}$ whose target space is the hyperbolic super manifold $H^{2|2n}$, $n >1$, introduced by Crawford as an extension of Zirnbauer's $H^{2|2}$ model for disordered systems. We…
We study the two-dimensional renormalization-group flow induced by perturbations that reduce the global symmetry of the O(3) sigma-model to the discrete symmetries of Platonic solids. We estimate the value of the correlation length at which…
Non-linear sigma models that arise from the supersymmetric approach to disordered electron systems contain a non-compact bosonic sector. We study the model with target space H^2, the two-hyperboloid with isometry group SU(1,1), and prove…
We develop a perturbative approach to study the supersymmetric non-linear sigma model characterized by a generic coupling matrix in the strong coupling limit. The method allows us to calculate explicitly the moments of the eigenfunctions…
We consider a two-dimensional sigma-model with discrete icosahedral/dodecahedral symmetry. We present high-precision finite-size numerical results that show that the continuum limit of this model is different from the continuum limit of the…
