We consider the effect of curved two-dimensional space-time on Witten's $N=2$ supersymmetric sigma models interpolating Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces to Landau-Ginzburg models. In order for the former models to have significant connection to…
In this paper the whole kink varieties arising in several massive non-linear Sigma models whose target space is the torus ${\mathbb S}^1\times{\mathbb S}^1$ are analytically calculated. This possibility underlies the construction of…
Requiring an infinite number of conserved local charges or the existence of an underlying linear system does not uniquely determine the Moyal deformation of 1+1 dimensional integrable field theories. As an example, the sine-Gordon model may…
We discuss a possible generalization of the Calabi-Yau/Landau-Ginzburg correspondence to a more general class of manifolds. Specifically we consider the Fermat type hypersurfaces $M_N^k$: $\sum_{i=1}^N X_i^k =0$ in ${\bf CP}^{N-1}$ for…
The purpose of this paper is threefold: First of all the topological aspects of the Landau Hamiltonian are reviewed in the light (and with the jargon) of theory of topological insulators. In particular it is shown that the Landau…
The $O(N)$ non-linear sigma model (NLSM) is an example of field theory on a target space with nontrivial geometry. One interesting feature of NLSM is asymptotic freedom, which makes perturbative calculations interesting. Given the successes…
After some recalls on the standard (non)-linear $\sigma$ model, we discuss the interest of B.R.S. symmetry in non-linear $\sigma$ models renormalisation. We also emphasise the importance of a correct definition of a theory through physical…
We discuss O(N) invariant scalar field theories in 0+1 and 1+1 space-time dimensions. Combining ordinary ``Large N" saddle point techniques and simple properties of the diagonal resolvent of one dimensional Schr\"odinger operators we find…
The conditions under which a general two-dimensional non-linear sigma model is classically integrable are given. These requirements are found by demanding that the equations of motion of the theory are expressible as a zero curvature…
We generalize a regularization method of Stumpf 1984 in the case of non-linear spinor field models to fourth order theories and to non-scalar interactions. The involved discrete symmetries can be connected with C,P,T transformations.
We review the recently developed supersymmetric extensions of field theories with non-standard kinetic terms (so-called K field theories) in two an three dimensions. Further, we study the issue of topological defect formation in these…
In this work we provide a massless perturbative framework for the two dimensional non-linear sigma model (NLSM), that allows the computation of the perturbative series attached to the operator condensates in the operator product expansion…
We investigate non-perturbative structures of the two-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric nonlinear sigma model on the quadric surface Q^{n-2}(C) = SO(n)/SO(n-2)xU(1), which is a Hermitian symmetric space, and therefore Kahler, by using the…
The out-of-equilibrium dynamics of the O(N+1) nonlinear sigma model in 1+1 dimensions is investigated in the large N limit. Regarding the nonlinearity as the effect of a suitable large coupling limit of the O(N+1) \phi^4 model, we first of…
Certain supersymmetric sigma models in 2+1 dimensions feature multi-soliton solutions, with and without scattering. We subject these systems to a non-anticommutative deformation by replacing the Grassmann algebra of the odd superspace…
In this work we consider the higher dimensional Skyrme model, with spatial dimension $d > 3$, focusing on its BPS submodels and their corresponding features. To accommodate the cases with a higher topological degree, \(B\geq 1\), a modified…
We construct d=1 sigma models of the Wess-Zumino type on the SU(n|1)/U(n) fermionic cosets. Such models can be regarded as a particular supersymmetric extension (with a target space supersymmetry) of the classical Landau model, when a…
Oscillons are time-dependent, localized in space, extremely long-lived states in nonlinear scalar-field models, while kinks are topological solitons in one spatial dimension. In the present work, we show new classes of oscillons and…
We construct N=2 supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models whose target spaces are tangent as well as cotangent bundles over the quadric surface Q^{n-2} = SO(n)/[SO(n-2)\times U(1)]. We use the projective superspace framework, which is an…
This is a review of the relation between supersymmetric non-linear sigma models and target space geometry. In particular, we report on the derivation of generalized K\"ahler geometry from sigma models with additional spinorial superfields.…
