We write down a local $CP_1$ model involving two gauge fields, which is exactly equivalent to the O(3) $\sigma$ model with the Hopf term. We impose the $CP_1$ constraint by using the gaussian representation of the delta function. For the…
We show that the non-commutative $CP^1$ model coupled with Hopf term in 3 dimensions is equivalent to an interacting spin-$s$ theory where the spin $s$ of the dual theory is related to the coefficient of the Hopf term. We use the…
The Hopf term in the $2 + 1$ dimensional O(3) nonlinear sigma model, which is known to be responsible for fractional spin and statistics, is re-examined from the viewpoint of quantization ambiguity. It is confirmed that the Hopf term can be…
We consider the two-dimensional $\rm O(3)$ non-linear sigma model with topological term using a lattice regularization introduced by Shankar and Read [Nucl.Phys. B336 (1990), 457], that is suitable for studying the strong coupling regime.…
The well known Haldane map from spin chains into the $O(3)$ non linear sigma model is generalized to the case of spin ladders. This map allows us to explain the different qualitative behaviour between even and odd ladders, exactly in the…
We re-examine three issues, the Hopf term, fractional spin and the soliton operators, in the 2+1 dimensional O(3) nonlinear sigma model based on the adjoint orbit parameterization (AOP) introduced earlier. It is shown that the Hopf Term is…
We investigate the critical behaviour at theta=pi of the two-dimensional O(3) nonlinear sigma model with topological term on the lattice. Our method is based on numerical simulations at imaginary values of theta, and on scaling…
Hopf terms are topological theta terms that are associated with a host of interesting physics, including anyons, statistical transmutation, chiral edge states, and the spin quantum Hall effect. Here, we show that Hopf terms can appear in…
We establish the equivalence between the continuum limit of the quantum spherical model with competing interactions, which is relevant to the investigation of Lifshitz points, and the O(N) nonlinear sigma model with the addition of higher…
Topological terms in the O(3) nonlinear sigma model in (1+1) and (2+1) dimensions are re-examined based on the description of the SU(2)-valued field $g$. We first show that the topological soliton term in (1+1) dimensions arises from the…
We study the nonrelativistic nonlinear sigma model with Hopf term in this paper. This is an important issue beacuse of its relation to the currently interesting studies in skyrmions in quantum Hall systems. We perform the Hamiltonian…
In this letter, I develop a new topologically invariant coherent state path integral for spin systems, and apply it to the quantum Heisenberg model on a square lattice. As a result, the quantum nonlinear $\sigma$ model for arbitrary values…
We construct a nonlinear $\sigma$ model to describe a system of non-interacting electrons propagating in the presence of random magnetic flux. We find a term describing the long ranged logarithmic interaction between the topological density…
The nonlinear O(3) sigma-model in (2+1) dimensions with an additional potential term admits solutions called Q-lumps, having both topological and Noether charges. We consider in 3+1-dimensional spacetime the theory with Q-lumps on a domain…
We formulate the $O(3) \s-$ model on fuzzy sphere and construct the Hopf term. We show that the field can be expanded in terms of the ladder operators of Holstein-Primakoff realisation of SU(2) algebra and the corresponding basis set can be…
We show that there is a topological (Berry phase) term in the non-linear $\sigma$ model description of the SO(5) spin chain. It distinguishes the linear and projective representations of the SO(5) symmetry group, in exact analogy to the…

Nonlinear sigma models compatible with the aratyn-Ferreira-Zimerman ansatz are discussed, the latter ansatz automatically leading to configurations with definite values of the Hopf index. These models are allowed to involve a weight factor…
The off-shell dynamics of the O(3) nonlinear sigma-model is probed in terms of spectral densities and two-point functions by means of the form factor approach. The exact form factors of the Spin field, Noether-current, EM-tensor and the…
We derive the nonlinear $\sigma$-model to describe diffusive transport in normal metals and superconductors with intrinsic spin-orbit coupling (SOC). The SOC is described via an SU(2) gauge field, and we expand the model to the fourth order…
