In this paper, we study three dimensional NL$\sigma$Ms within two kind of nonperturbative methods; WRG and large-N expansion. First, we investigate the renormalizability of some NL$\sigma$Ms using WRG equation. We find that some models have…
The three dimensional nonlinear sigma model is unrenormalizable in perturbative method. By using the $\beta$ function in the nonperturbative Wilsonian renormalization group method, we argue that ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric nonlinear…
We study two-dimensional nonlinear sigma models in which the target spaces are the coset supermanifolds U(n+m|n)/[U(1)\times U(n+m-1|n)] \cong CP^{n+m-1|n} (projective superspaces) and OSp(2n+m|2n)/OSp(2n+m-1|2n) \cong S^{2n+m-1|2n}…

We construct a set of non-rational conformal field theories that consist of deformations of Toda field theory for sl(n). Besides conformal invariance, the theories still enjoy a remnant infinite-dimensional affine symmetry. The case n=3 is…
Using Wilsonian methods, we study the renormalization group flow of the Nonlinear Sigma Model in any dimension $d$, restricting our attention to terms with two derivatives. At one loop we always find a Ricci flow. When symmetries completely…

We show that the usual fixed point for 3-d rigid string with topological term appears to be a trivial one, consisting of two decoupled conformal field theories. We further argue that by involving an additional term allowed by symmetries and…
We explore the space of renormalization group flows that originate from $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric $SU(2)$ gauge theory with one adjoint and a pair of fundamental chiral multiplets. By considering all possible relevant deformations -…
I study the renormalization of D-dimensional level-k Wess-Zumino-Witten theory with Stiefel-manifold target space $\mathrm{St}_{N,N-D-1} \cong \mathrm{SO}(N)/\mathrm{SO}(D+1)$, with a particular focus on $D = 3$. I investigate in particular…
We consider a RG flow in certain 2D coset models perturbed by the least relevant field. In the case of the symmetric su(2) coset model we show, up to second order of the perturbation theory, that there exists a nontrivial IR fixed point.We…
Non-Fermi liquids in $d>2$ remain poorly understood, particularly when relevant perturbations destabilize them. In one spatial dimension, chirally stabilized fixed points provide a rare class of analytically tractable non-Fermi-liquid…
