In this work, we analyze an extended $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetry with central charge and develop its superspace formulation under two distinct viewpoints. Initially, in the context of classical mechanics, we discuss the introduction of…
We obtain the operator product expansion of the self-energy in the O(N) non-linear $\sigma$-model to all orders in the coupling and the large momentum, and to next-to-leading order in 1/N. In the light of this result we discuss recent…
We study the ultraviolet properties of the supersymmetric CP^{N-1} sigma model in three dimensions to next-to-leading order in the 1/N expansion. We calculate the \beta-function to this order and verify that it has no next-to-leading order…
