In this paper we quantize superconformal $\sigma$-models defined by worldline supermultiplets. Two types of superconformal mechanics, with and without a DFF term, are considered. Without a DFF term (Calogero potential only) the…
The nonlinear sigma model for which the field takes its values in the coset space $O(1,2)/O(2)\times Z_2$ is similar to quantum gravity in being perturbatively nonrenormalizable and having a noncompact curved configuration space. It is…
We point out that existing numerical data on the correlation length and magnetic susceptibility suggest that the two dimensional $O(3)$ model with standard action has critical exponent $\eta=1/4$, which is inconsistent with asymptotic…
I provide evidence that the 2D $RP^{N-1}$ model for $N \ge 3$ is equivalent to the $O(N)$-invariant non-linear $\sigma$-model in the continuum limit. To this end, I mainly study particular versions of the models, to be called constraint…
We study the O(3) sigma model in $D=2$ on the lattice with a Boltzmann weight linearized in $\beta$ on each link. While the spin formulation now suffers from a sign-problem the equivalent loop model remains positive and becomes particularly…
We study the general structure of Smirnov's axioms on form factors of local operators in integrable models. We find various consistency conditions that the form factor functions have to satisfy. For the special case of the $O(3)$…
We take the continuum limit of the \sdeq s of the one and two matrix model without expanding them in the length of the loop. The resulting equations agree with those proposed for string field theory in the temporal gauge. We find that the…
We investigate the continuum limit of the step scaling function in the 2-d O(3) model with different theta-vacua. Since we find a different continuum value of the step scaling function for each value of theta, we can conclude that theta…
The behaviour of the renormalized spin 2-point function in the O(3) and dodecahedron spin model are investigated numerically. The Monte Carlo data show excellent agreement between the two models. The short distance behavior comes very close…
