We consider two level $k$ WZNW models coupled to each other through a generalized Thirring-like current-current interaction. It is shown that in the large $k$ limit, this interacting system can be presented as a two-parameter perturbation…

We perform the path-integral bosonization of the recently proposed noncommutative massive Thirring model (NCMT$_{1}$) [JHEP0503(2005)037]. This model presents two types of current-current interaction terms related to the bi-fundamental…
We show that the WZNW model with arbitrary $\sigma$-model coupling constant may be viewed as a $\sigma$-model perturbation of the WZNW theory around the Witten conformal point. In order for the $\sigma$-model perturbation to be relevant,…

Non-relativistic conformal field theory is significant to understand various aspects of an ultra-cold system. In this paper, we study a non-relativistic system of two-component fermions interacting with a complex boson with Yukawa-like…
We study the Abelian Thirring Model when the fermionic fields have non-conserved chiral charge: $\Delta {\cal Q}_5 =N$. One of the main features we find for this model is the dependence of the Virasoro central charge on both the Thirring…
D3 and D7-branes intersecting in 2+1 dimensions give rise at low energies to N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory coupled to defect fermions in the fundamental representation. This theory undergoes a BKT-type phase transition from a…
We study what we call the all-loop anisotropic bosonized Thirring sigma model. This interpolates between the WZW model and the non-Abelian T-dual of the principal chiral model for a simple group. It has an invariance involving the inversion…
We employ the conformal bootstrap to re-examine the problem of finding the critical behavior of four-Fermion theory at its strong coupling fixed point. Existence of a solution of the bootstrap equations indicates self-consistency of the…
We propose the gauged Thirring model as a natural gauge-invariant generalization of the Thirring model, four-fermion interaction of current-current type. In the strong gauge-coupling limit, the gauged Thirring model reduces to the recently…
