We introduce orthogonal ring patterns in the 2-sphere and in the hyperbolic plane, consisting of pairs of concentric circles, which generalize circle patterns. We show that their radii are described by a discrete integrable system. This is…
The all-loop anisotropic Thirring model interpolates between the WZW model and the non-Abelian T-dual of the anisotropic principal chiral model. We focus on the SU(2) case and we prove that it is classically integrable by providing its Lax…

The purpose of this paper is to construct a generalized r-matrix structure of finite dimensional systems and an approach to obtain the algebro-geometric solutions of integrable nonlinear evolution equations (NLEEs). Our starting point is a…
We review the correspondence between integrable sigma models with complex homogeneous target spaces and chiral bosonic (and possibly mixed bosonic/fermionic) Gross-Neveu models. Mathematically, the latter are models with quiver variety…
We construct supersymmetric conformal sigma models in three dimensions. Nonlinear sigma models in three dimensions are nonrenormalizable in perturbation theory. We use the Wilsonian renormalization group equation method, which is one of the…
We construct local zero curvature representations for non-linear sigma models on homogeneous spaces, defined on a space-time of any dimension, following a recently proposed approach to integrable theories in dimensions higher than two. We…
Nonlinear dispersionless equations arise as the dispersionless limit of well know integrable hierarchies of equations or by construction, such as the system of hydrodynamic type. Some of these equations are integrable in the Hamiltonian…
Classical gravitating field theories reduced to three dimensions admit manifest gauge invariances and hidden symmetries, which together make up the invariance group G of the theory. If this group is large enough, the target space is a…
The Principal Chiral Model (PCM) defined on the group manifold of SU(2) is here investigated with the aim of getting a further deepening of its relation with Generalized and Doubled Geometry. A one-parameter family of equivalent Hamiltonian…
We propose a geometric setup to study analytic aspects of a variant of the super symmetric two-dimensional nonlinear sigma model. This functional extends the functional of Dirac-harmonic maps by gravitino fields. The system of…
We consider classical and quantum integrable sigma models and their relations with the solutions of renormalization group equations. We say that an integrable sigma model possesses the "nice" duality property if the dual quantum field…
We introduce a Hodge operator in a framework of noncommutative geometry. The complete integrability of 2-dimensional classical harmonic maps into groups (sigma-models or principal chiral models) is then extended to a class of…
In this paper, we provide an invariant formulation of completely integrable $CP^{N-1}$ Euclidean sigma models in two dimensions defined on the Riemann sphere $S^2$. The scaling invariance is explicitly taken into account by expressing all…
We summarize our recent results on the large N renormalization group (RG) approach to matrix models for discretized two-dimensional quantum gravity. We derive exact RG equations by solving the reparametrization identities, which reduce…
A procedure is developed for constructing deformations of integrable sigma-models which are themselves classically integrable. When applied to the principal chiral model on any compact Lie group F, one recovers the Yang-Baxter sigma-model…
We consider several classes of $\sigma$-models (on groups and symmetric spaces, $\eta$-models, $\lambda$-models) with local couplings that may depend on the 2d coordinates, e.g. on time $\tau$. We observe that (i) starting with a…
Application of our algebraic approach to Liouville integrable defects is proposed for the sine-Gordon model. Integrability of the model is ensured by the underlying classical r-matrix algebra. The first local integrals of motion are…

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…
