We examine the supersymmetric non-linear O(N) sigma model with a soft breaking term. In two dimensions, we found that the mass difference between supersymmetric partner fields vanishes accidentally. In three dimensions, the mass difference…
We consider a family of nonlinear sigma models on $\mathbb{Z}^{d}$ whose target space is the hyperbolic super manifold $H^{2|2n}$, $n >1$, introduced by Crawford as an extension of Zirnbauer's $H^{2|2}$ model for disordered systems. We…
Fisher's phenomenological renormalization method is used to calculate the mass gap and the correlation length of the $O(N)$ nonlinear $\sigma$ model on a semi-compact space $S^{1}\times {\bf R}^{2}$. This shows that the ultraviolet momentum…
The non-commutative O(N) Gross-Neveu model is solved in the large N limit in two and three space-time dimensions. The commutative version of the two dimensional model is a renormalizable quantum field theory, both in a coupling constant…
In this work we discuss the phase structure of a deformed supersymmetric nonlinear sigma model in a three-dimensional space-time. The deformation is introduced by a term that breaks supersymmetry explicitly, through imposing a slightly…
We consider a hybrid of nonlinear sigma models in which two complex projective spaces are coupled with each other under a duality. We study the large N effective action in 1+1 dimensions. We find that some of the dynamically generated gauge…
The study of noncommutative solitons is greatly facilitated if the field equations are integrable, i.e. result from a linear system. For the example of a modified but integrable U(n) sigma model in 2+1 dimensions we employ the dressing…
We search for infrared fixed points of Gross-Neveu Yukawa models with matrix degrees of freedom in $d=4-\varepsilon$. We consider three models -- a model with $SU(N)$ symmetry in which the scalar and fermionic fields both transform in the…
We present a functional Schr\"{o}dinger picture formalism of the (1+1)-dimensional $O(N) $ nonlinear sigma model. The energy density has been calculated to two-loop order using the wave functional of a gaussian form, and from which the…
We give an analytical derivation of the mass gap of the O(N) sigma models and investigate a large-order behavior of the weak coupling asymptotic expansion for the energy. For sufficiently large N the series is sign-oscillating, which is…
We study the $O(N)$ nonlinear $\sigma$ model on a three-dimensional compact space $S^1 \times S^2$ (of radii $L$ and $R$ respectively) by means of large $N$ expansion, focusing on the finite size effects and conformal symmetries of this…
We determined the critical exponent $\nu$ of the scalar O(N) model with a strategy based on the definition of the correlation length in the infrared limit. The functional renormalization group treatment of the model shows that there is an…
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…
Invariant correlation functions for ${\rm SO}(1,N)$ hyperbolic sigma-models are investigated. The existence of a large $N$ asymptotic expansion is proven on finite lattices of dimension $d \geq 2$. The unique saddle point configuration is…
We study a heterotic two-dimensional N=(0,2) gauged non-linear sigma-model whose target space is a weighted complex projective space. We consider the case with N positively and N^~=N_F - N negatively charged fields. This model is believed…

In this paper we present a study based on the use of functional techniques on the issue of insertions of massive fermionic fields in the two-dimensional massless Gauged Thirring Model. As it will be shown, the fermionic mass contributes to…
We show how to obtain the O(N) non-linear sigma model in two dimensions as a strong coupling limit of the corresponding linear sigma model. In taking the strong coupling limit, the squared mass parameter must be given a specific coupling…
A scaling hypothesis for the n-particle spectral densities of the O(3) nonlinear sigma-model is described. It states that for large particle numbers the n-particle spectral densities are ``self-similar'' in being basically rescaled copies…
