Abstract

Two-dimensional O(N)O(N) non-linear sigma models are exactly solvable theories and have many applications, from statistical mechanics to their use as QCD toy models. We consider a supersymmetric extension, the non-linear sigma model on the supersphere~SN+2m12mOSP(N+2m2m)OSP(N+2m12m)S^{N+2m-1|2m}\equiv \frac{OSP(N+2m|2m)}{OSP(N+2m-1|2m)}. We briefly describe its renormalization properties and lattice discretization, and present a strategy for numerical simulations together with some preliminary numerical results.
