We discuss vacua, walls and three-pronged junctions of the mass-deformed nonlinear sigma models on the Grassmann manifold $G_{N_F,N_C}=\frac{SU(N_F)}{SU(N_C)\times SU(N_F-N_C)\times U(1)}$, which are non-Abelian gauge theories for $N_C\geq…

We study vacua, walls and three-pronged junctions of mass-deformed nonlinear sigma models on $SO(2N)/U(N)$ and $Sp(N)/U(N)$ for generic $N$. We review and discuss the on-shell component Lagrangians of the ${\mathcal{N}}=2$ nonlinear sigma…

We construct on-shell ${\mathcal{N}}=2$ nonlinear sigma models on $SO(2N)/U(N)$ and $Sp(N)/U(N)$ by holomorphically embedding the models in the hyper-K\"{a}hler nonlinear sigma model on the cotangent bundle of the Grassmann manifold $T^\ast…

BPS walls and junctions are studied in ${\cal N}=1$ SUSY nonlinear sigma models in four spacetime dimensions. New BPS junction solutions connecting N discrete vacua are found for nonlinear sigma models with several chiral scalar…

We numerically construct a stable three-string junction of Y-shape in a flag manifold nonlinear sigma model on $SU(3)/U(1)^2$.

The ${\cal N}=1$ SUSY nonlinear sigma models in four spacetime dimensions are studied to obtain BPS walls and junctions. A nonlinear sigma model with a single chiral scalar superfield is found which has a moduli space of the topology of…

We study vacua and walls of mass-deformed K\"ahler nonlinear sigma models on $Sp(N)/U(N)$. We identify elementary walls with the simple roots of $USp(2N)$ and discuss compressed walls, penetrable walls and multiwalls by using the moduli…

We construct walls of mass-deformed K\"{a}hler nonlinear sigma models on $SO(2N)/U(N)$, by using the moduli matrix formalism and the simple roots of $SO(2N)$. Penetrable walls are observed in the nonlinear sigma models on $SO(2N)/U(N)$ with…

We study the topological-antitopological fusion equations for supersymmetric sigma models on Grassmannian manifolds G(k,N). We find a basis in which the metric becomes diagonal and the $tt^*$ equations become tractable. The solution for the…

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…

A general strategy is proposed to explore the low-energy properties of two-dimensional nonlinear $\sigma$ models with $\theta$ terms. We demonstrate its application to nonlinear $\sigma$ models with the target space $\text{SU($N$)}$/H,…

The reducible K\"ahler coset space G/S\otimesU(1)^k is discussed in a geometrical approach. We derive the formula which expresses the Riemann curvature of the reducible K\"ahler coset space in terms of its Killing vectors. The formula…

We study the $O(N)$ non-linear $\sigma$ model on three-dimensional manifolds of constant curvature by means of the large $N$ expansion at the critical point. We examine saddle point equations imposing anti-periodic boundary condition in…

We show the numerical simulation result for the mass anomalous dimension of the SU($3$) gauge theory coupled to $N_f = 12$ fundamental fermions. We use two independent methods, namely the step scaling method and the hyperscaling method of…

We discuss the two-dimensional Grassmannian $SU(N)/S(U(N-2)\times U(2))$ and the flag $SU(N)/S(U(N-2)\times U(1)\times U(1))$ sigma models on a finite interval and construct analytical solutions of gap equations in the large N limit. We…

We analyze the vacuum structure of $\mathcal{N}=3,D=4$ supergravity coupled to 9 vector multiplets with gauge group ${\rm SO}(3)\times {\rm SU}(3)$. Aside from the central $\mathcal{N}=3$ AdS$_4$ vacuum at the origin, on which the…

QCD with gauge group $SU(N_c)$ flows to an interacting conformal fixed point in three spacetime dimensions when the number of four-component Dirac fermions $N_f \gg N_c$. We study the stability of this fixed point via the…

We study the vacuum structure of three-dimensional $SU(N)$ gauge theory coupled to a Chern-Simons term at level $k$ and to $F$ fundamental Dirac fermions. We use a large $N$ holographic description based on a D3/D7 system in type IIB string…

We study the Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield wall solutions in massive K\"ahler nonlinear sigma models on SO(2N)/U(N) and Sp(N)/U(N) in three-dimensional spacetime. We show that SO(2N)/U(N) and Sp(N)/U(N) models have 2^{N-1} and 2^N discrete…

We construct and investigate smooth orientable surfaces in su(N) algebras. The structural equations of surfaces associated with Grassmannian sigma models on Minkowski space are studied using moving frames adapted to the surfaces. The first…
