Double Soft Theorems and Shift Symmetry in Nonlinear Sigma Models

High Energy Physics - Theory 2016-03-02 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

We show both the leading and subleading double soft theorems of the nonlinear sigma model follow from a shift symmetry enforcing Adler's zero condition in the presence of an unbroken global symmetry. They do not depend on the underlying coset G/H and are universal infrared behaviors of Nambu-Goldstone bosons. Although nonlinear sigma models contain an infinite number of interaction vertices, the double soft limit is determined entirely by a single four-point interaction, together with the existence of Adler's zeros.
