Dilaton gravities in two dimensions can be formulated as particular Poisson sigma models. Target space diffeomorphisms map different models to each other and establish a one-to-one correspondence between their classical solutions. We obtain…

Quantum theory of dilaton gravity coupled to a nonlinear sigma model with a maximally symmetric target space is studied in $2+\epsilon$ dimensions. The ultraviolet stable fixed point for the curvature of the nonlinear sigma model demands a…
