We describe a deformation of the principal chiral model (with an even-dimensional target space G) by a B-field proportional to the K\"ahler form on the target space. The equations of motion of the deformed model admit a zero-curvature…
We investigate one-parameter family of transformation on superfields of super principal chiral model and obtain different zero-curvature representations of the model. The parametric transformation is related to the super Riccati equations…
We generalize the auxiliary field deformations of the principal chiral model (PCM) introduced in arXiv:2405.05899 and arXiv:2407.16338 to sigma models whose target manifolds are symmetric or semi-symmetric spaces, including a Wess-Zumino…
We construct zero-curvature representations for the equations of motion of a class of sigma-models with complex homogeneous target spaces, not necessarily symmetric. We show that in the symmetric case the proposed flat connection is…
The (2+1) dimensional gauged O(3) nonlinear sigma model with Chern-Simons term is canonically quantized. Furthermore, we study a nonminimal coupling in this model implemented by means of a Pauli-type term. It is shown that the set of…
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…
We consider a nonlinear sigma model coupled to the metric of a conic space. We obtain restrictions for a nonlinear sigma model to be a source of the conic space. We then study nonlinear sigma model in the conic space background. We find…
It is well-known that sigma-models with symmetric target spaces are classically integrable. At the example of the model with target space the flag manifold U(3)/U(1)^3 -- a non-symmetric space -- we show that the introduction of torsion…
We consider techniques (based on an ultraviolet cutoff) used to prove that the pure boson ($\phi^4)_4$ field theory is trivial and apply them instead to the dynamically generated quark-level linear sigma model. This cutoff approach leads to…
After a brief survey of effective field theories, the linear sigma model is discussed as a prototype of an effective field theory of the standard model below the chiral-symmetry-breaking scale. Although it can serve as a toy model for the…
We study the noncommutative generalization of (euclidean) integrable models in two-dimensions, specifically the sine- and sinh-Gordon and the U(N) principal chiral models. By looking at tree-level amplitudes for the sinh-Gordon model we…
We consider the O(N) linear {\sigma} model and introduce an auxiliary field to eliminate the scalar self-interaction. Using a suitable limiting process this model can be continuously transformed into the nonlinear version of the O(N) model.…
We first review the result that the noncommutative principal chiral model has an infinite tower of conserved currents, and discuss the special case of the noncommutative CP^1 model in some detail. Next, we focus our attention to a submodel…
We show that the integrability of the $SO(N)/SO(N-1)$ Principal Chiral Model (PCM) originates from the Pohlmeyer reduction of the $O(N)$ Non Linear Sigma Model (NLSM). In particular, we show that the Lax pair of the PCM is related upon…
We investigate boundary conditions for the nonlinear sigma model on the compact symmetric space $G/H$, where $H \subset G$ is the subgroup fixed by an involution $\sigma$ of $G$. The Poisson brackets and the classical local conserved…
The possibility of the application of the free field representation developed by Lukyanov for massive integrable models is investigated in the context of the O(3) sigma model. We use the bootstrap fusion procedure to construct a free field…

The renormalization of the topological term in the two-dimensional nonlinear O(3) model is studied by means of the Functional Renormalization Group. By considering the topological charge as a limit of a more general operator, it is shown…
We study the classical current algebra for principial chiral model defined on two dimensional world-sheet with general metric. We develop the Hamiltonian formalism and determine the form of the Poisson brackets between currents. Then we…
For the class of $1+1$ dimensional field theories referred to as the non-linear sigma models, there is known to be a deep connection between classical integrability and one-loop renormalizability. In this work, the phenomenon is reviewed on…
