We apply the coadjoint orbit method to construct relativistic nonlinear sigma models (NLSM) on the target space of coadjoint orbits coupled with the Chern-Simons (CS) gauge field and study self-dual solitons. When the target space is given…
Nonlinear sigma models compatible with the aratyn-Ferreira-Zimerman ansatz are discussed, the latter ansatz automatically leading to configurations with definite values of the Hopf index. These models are allowed to involve a weight factor…
We study the supersymmetric extensions of the $O(3)$ $\sigma$-model in $1+1$ and $2+1$ dimensions. We show that it is possible to construct non-equivalent supersymmetric versions of a given model sharing the same bosonic sector and free…
We first review the construction of the supersymmetric extension of the (quantum) Calogero-Moser-Sutherland (CMS) models. We stress the remarkable fact that this extension is completely captured by the insertion of a fermionic exchange…
Global symmetries can be generalised to transformations generated by topological operators, including cases in which the topological operator does not have an inverse. A family of such topological operators are intimately related to…
In this paper we construct a global, continuous flow of solutions to the Camassa-Holm equation on the space H^1(R). In a previous paper [2], A. Bressan and the author constructed spatially periodic solutions, whereas in this paper the…
We discuss the recent developments in the generalized continuous Heisenberg ferromagnet model formulated as a nonrelativistic field theory defined on the target space of the coadjoint orbits. Hermitian symmetric spaces are special because…
This is a brief review of some of the uses of nonlinear sigma models. After a short general discussion touching on point particles, strings and condensed matter systems, focus is shifted to sigma models as probes of target space geometries.…
We conjecture that the $O(N)$-symmetric non-linear sigma model in the semi-infinite $(1+1)$-dimensional space is ``integrable'' with respect to the ``free'' and the ``fixed'' boundary conditions. We then derive, for both cases, the boundary…
A generalized non-Hermitian oscillator Hamiltonian is proposed that consists of additional linear terms which break PT-symmetry explicitly. The model is put into an equivalent Hermitian form by means of a similarity transformation and the…
We prove global existence of solutions to the initial value problem for a third order dispersive flow into compact locally Hermitian symmetric spaces. The equation we consider generalizes two-sphere-valued completely integrable systems…
We derive a non-linear sigma model (NLSM) generally representing antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chains with inhomogeneous spin magnitudes and inhomogeneous nearest-neighbor exchange constants arrayed in finite periods. Only a restriction…
Integrable $\sigma$-models, such as the principal chiral model, ${\mathbb{Z}}_T$-coset models for $T \in {\mathbb{Z}}_{\geq 2}$ and their various integrable deformations, are examples of non-ultralocal integrable field theories described by…
We study a large class of models with an arbitrary (finite) number of degrees of freedom, described by Hamiltonians which are polynomial in bosonic creation and annihilation operators, and including as particular cases n-th harmonic…
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 explore the phase structure of nonlinear sigma models with target spaces corresponding to compact quotients of hyperbolic space, focusing on the case of a hyperbolic genus-2 Riemann surface. The continuum theory of these models can be…
We revisit supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models on the target manifold $CP^{N-1}$ and $SO(N)/SO(N-2)\times U(1)$ in four dimensions. These models are formulated as gauged linear models, but it is indicated that the Wess-Zumino term should…
We show that the noncommutativity of space-time destroys the renormalizability of the 1/N expansion of the O(N) Gross-Neveu model. A similar statement holds for the noncommutative nonlinear sigma model. However, we show that, up to the…
We calculate the beta function of non-linear sigma models with S^{D+1} and AdS_{D+1} target spaces in a 1/D expansion up to order 1/D^2 and to all orders in \alpha'. This beta function encodes partial information about the spacetime…
