GSO projected Superconformal field theory (Spin Model) with boundary is considered. There were written the boundary states. For this model were derived one-point structure constants and "bootstrap" equations for boundary-bulk structure…

We discuss the new integrable boundary conditions for the O(N) nonlinear $\sigma$ model and related solutions of the boundary Yang-Baxter equation, which were presented in our previous paper hep-th/0108039.

We show that the continuum limit of one-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric matrix models can be described by a two-dimensional interacting field theory of a massless boson and two chiral fermions. We interpret this field theory as a…

We construct examples of non-invertible global symmetries in two-dimensional superconformal field theories described by sigma models into Calabi-Yau target spaces. Our construction provides some of the first examples of non-invertible…

We construct the supersymmetric nonlinear sigma model in a fixed AdS_5 background. We use component fields and find that the complex bosons must be the coordinates of a hyper-Kahler manifold that admits a Killing vector satisfying an…

Supersymmetric bosonic backgrounds governed by first-order BPS equations, can be realised in a much broader setting by relaxing the requirement of closure of the superalgebra beyond the level of quadratic fermion terms. The resulting…

We present an N = 2 world-sheet superspace description of D-branes on bihermitian or generalized Kaehler manifolds. To accomplish this, D-branes are considered as boundary conditions for a nonlinear sigma-model in what we call N = 2…

We show that two-dimensional sigma models are equivalent to certain perturbed conformal field theories. When the fields in the sigma model take values in a space G/H for a group G and a maximal subgroup H, the corresponding conformal field…

We argue that, contrary to previous claims, the supersymmetric sine-Gordon model with boundary has a two-parameter family of boundary interactions which preserves both integrability and supersymmetry. We also propose the corresponding…

In this paper the notion of a superconformal structure on a supermanifold is introduced in an effort to study the superparticle sigma-model. There are, in particular, two main aspects of the sigma-model which are investigated. The first is…

The non-linear $\Sigma$-Model minimally coupled with Maxwell theory in $3+1$ dimensions possesses a topologically non-trivial sector characterized by ``lasagna''-like configurations. We demonstrate that, when a specific quantization…

One-dimensional sigma-models with N supersymmetries are considered. For conventional supersymmetries there must be N-1 complex structures satisfying a Clifford algebra and the constraints on the target space geometry can be formulated in…

We study the non-linear sigma model realization of a heterotic vacuum with N=2 space-time supersymmetry. We examine the requirements of (0,2) + (0,4) world-sheet supersymmetry and show that a geometric vacuum must be described by a…

We present part of our investigations on two dimensional N=1 and N=2 superconformal field theories. As a direct generalization we consider the SU(2) coset models, in particular their renormalization group properties. A search and possible…

We consider supersymmetric models in 5-dimensional space-time compactified on S**1/Z(2) orbifold where N=2 supersymmetry is explicitly broken down to N=1 by the orbifold projection. We find that the residual N=1 supersymmetry is broken…

We consider a novel class of constraints on chiral superfields to obtain supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models in four spacetime dimensions, which strictly combine the internal symmetry breaking with spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. The…

We construct the most general N=2 supersymmetric nonlinear sigma-model in four-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) space in terms of N=1 chiral superfields. The target space is shown to be a non-compact hyperkahler manifold restricted to…

N = 2 supersymmetry in four space-time dimensions is intimately related to hyperkahler and quaternionic Kahler geometries. On one hand, the target spaces for rigid supersymmetric sigma-models are necessarily hyperkahler manifolds. On the…

We consider topologically twisted N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on a four-manifold of the form V = W \times R_+ or V = W \times I, where W is a Riemannian three-manifold. Different kinds of boundary conditions apply at infinity or at…

We discuss two classes of exact (in $\a'$) string solutions described by conformal sigma models. They can be viewed as two possibilities of constructing a conformal model out of the non-conformal one based on the metric of a $D$-dimensional…
