A review of the appearence of integrable structures in the matrix model description of $2d$-gravity is presented. Most of ideas are demonstrated at the technically simple but ideologically important examples. Matrix models are considered as…
A few years ago Selivanova gave an existence proof for some integrable models, in fact geodesic flows on two dimensional manifolds, with a cubic first integral. However the explicit form of these models hinged on the solution of a nonlinear…
This thesis is divided into two parts. In the first part we study completely integrable systems, and their underlying structures, in detail. We study their deformation theory and the different equivalence relations surrounding it. We…
We analyze the renormalization group flow in a recently constructed class of integrable sigma-models which interpolate between WZW current algebra models and the non-Abelian T-duals of PCM for a simple group G. They are characterized by the…
We construct an integrable sigma model with a generalized $\mathcal{F}$ structure, which involves a generalized Nijenhuis structure $\mathcal{J}$ satisfying $\mathcal{J}^{3}=-\mathcal{J}$. Utilizing the expression of the generalized complex…
We define new Riemannian structures on 7-manifolds by a differential form of mixed degree which is the critical point of a (possibly constrained) variational problem over a fixed cohomology class. The unconstrained critical points…
We propose a physical interpretation of the chiral de Rham complex as a formal Hamiltonian quantization of the supersymmetric non-linear sigma model. We show that the chiral de Rham complex on a Calabi-Yau manifold carries all information…

The theory of Poisson-Lie groups and Lie bialgebras plays a major role in the study of one dimensional integrable systems; many families of integrable systems can be recovered from a Lax pair which is constructed from a Lie bialgebra…
In this thesis, we investigate various integral submodels and generalize them. In part I, we study the submodel of the nonlinear $\mathbf{C}P^1$-model and the related submodels in $(1+2)$ dimensions. In part II, we construct integrable…
A general model for geometric structures on differentiable manifolds is obtained by deforming infinitesimal symmetries. Specifically, this model consists of a Lie algebroid, equipped with an affine connection compatible with the Lie…
Non-perturbative renormalization group approach suggests that a large class of nonlinear sigma models are renormalizable in three dimensional space-time, while they are non-renormalizable in perturbation theory. ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric…
The paper intends to offer a general overview on what the concept of integrability means for a nonlinear dynamical system and how the symmetry method can be applied for approaching it. After a general part where key problems as direct and…
The Yang-Baxter $\sigma$-model is an integrable deformation of the principal chiral model on a Lie group $G$. The deformation breaks the $G \times G$ symmetry to $U(1)^{\textrm{rank}(G)} \times G$. It is known that there exist non-local…
Simple deformations, with a parameter $\epsilon$, of classical $R$-matrices which follow from decomposition of appropriate Lie algebras, are considered. As a result nonstandard Lax representations for some well known integrable systems are…
