In this paper we conduct a numerical study of the supersymmetric O(3) non-linear sigma model. The lattice formulation we employ was derived in \cite{sigma1} and corresponds to a discretization of a {\it twisted} form of the continuum…
In the mid 1990's Seiberg and Witten determined the exact low energy effective action of $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with gauge group $SU(2)$. Later, in the early 2000's Nekrasov calculated this action directly using…
A new transverse lattice model of $3+1$ Yang-Mills theory is constructed by introducing Wess-Zumino terms into the 2-D unitary non-linear sigma model action for link fields on a 2-D lattice. The Wess-Zumino terms permit one to solve the…
The low-energy effective action for the N=4 super Yang-Mills on the Coulomb branch is known to include an SO(6)-invariant Wess-Zumino (WZ) term for the six scalar fields. For each maximal, non-anomalous subgroup of the SU(4) R-symmetry, we…

In $d$ dimensions, the model for a massless $p$-form in curved space is known to be a reducible gauge theory for $p>1$, and therefore its covariant quantisation cannot be carried out using the standard Faddeev-Popov scheme. However, adding…

The equations for effective action for nonlinear $\sigma$ model are derived using DeWitt method in two forms - for generator of vertex parts $\Gamma$ and for generator of weakly connected parts $W$. Loop-expansion solutions to these…
We calculate the free energy density of the two dimensional O(3) non linear sigma model over a large temperature region. At high temperatures the calculations could be done by perturbation theory whereas in the low temperature regime we…
