Cosmology of linear Higgs-sigma models with conformal invariance
We consider general linear Higgs-sigma models as ultra-violet completions of the Higgs inflation. We introduce general higher curvature terms beyond Einstein gravity and recast them into a class of linear Higgs-sigma models in the scalar-dual formulation

Junctions of mass-deformed nonlinear sigma models on SO(2N)/U(N) and Sp(N)/U(N). Part II
We construct three-pronged junctions of mass-deformed nonlinear sigma models on SO(2N)/U(N) and Sp(N )/U(N ) for generic N. We study the nonlinear sigma models on the Grassmann manifold or on the complex projective space.

Geodesics on Calabi-Yau manifolds and winding states in nonlinear sigma models
We conjecture that a non-flat D-real-dimensional compact Calabi-Yau manifold, such as a quintic hypersurface with D=6, or a K3 manifold with D=4, has locally length minimizing closed geodesics, and that the number of these with length less than L grows ...

Renormalization of supersymmetric Lifshitz sigma models
We study the renormalization of an N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 supersymmetric Lifshitz sigma model in three dimensions. The sigma model exhibits worldvolume anisotropy in space and time around the high-energy z = 2 Lifshitz point, such that the worldvolume ...

The Sierpinski Object in the Scott Realizability Topos [PDF]
We study the Sierpinski object $\Sigma$ in the realizability topos based on Scott's graph model of the $\lambda$-calculus. Our starting observation is that the object of realizers in this topos is the exponential $\Sigma ^N$, where $N$ is the natural ...

Analiza tedenske umrljivosti starostnikov: primerjava med Slovenijo in državami članicami EU27 (= Analysis of weekly mortality of seniors: a comparison between Slovenia and the member states of the EU27) [PDF]
We analysed data on the weekly mortality of seniors aged 65 and older in the member states of the EU27. We aimed to model normal mortality in the time before covid-19 and use this model to analyse the deviations of true values from model predictions in ...

Tools for evaluating the performance of HbA1c analyzer: Sigma Metric and Quality Goal Index Ratio
INTRODUCTION: Sigma metric model is one of the most popular quality management system tools used for Six Sigma process improvement. This model provides three features that improve the results: low inaccuracy, less deviation, and correct performance of ...

The Grassmannian Sigma Model in SU(2) Yang-Mills Theory [PDF]
Spin-charge separation in pure SU(2) Yang-Mills theory was recently found to involve the dynamics of an O(3) non-linear sigma model and, seemingly, a Grassmannian non-linear sigma model.

Cohomological reduction of sigma models [PDF]
This article studies some features of quantum field theories with internal supersymmetry, focusing mainly on 2-dimensional non-linear sigma models which take values in a coset superspace. It is discussed how BRST operators from the target space supersymmetry algebra can be used to identify subsectors which are often simpler than the original model and ...
