SciPost Physics, 2019 We study (1+1)-dimensional non-linear sigma models whose target space is the flag manifold $U(N)\over U(N_1)\times U(N_2)\cdots U(N_m)$, with a specific focus on the special case $U(N)/U(1)^{N}$.

Journal of High Energy PhysicsWith the use of mathematical techniques of tropical geometry, it was shown by Mikhalkin some twenty years ago that certain Gromov-Witten invariants associated with topological quantum field theories of pseudoholomorphic maps can be computed by going to ...

Topological Massive Sigma Models [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B, 1994 In this paper we construct topological sigma models which include a potential and are related to twisted massive supersymmetric sigma models. Contrary to a previous construction these models have no central charge and do not require the manifold to admit

Duality in Fuzzy Sigma Models [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2004 Nonlinear `sigma' models in two dimensions have BPS solitons which are solutions of self- and anti-self-duality constraints. In this paper, we find their analogues for fuzzy sigma models on fuzzy spheres which were treated in detail by us in earlier work.

Higher derivative sigma models
Journal of High Energy PhysicsWe explore the nature of running couplings in the higher derivative linear and nonlinear sigma models and show that the results in dimensional regularization for the physical running couplings do not always match the values quoted in the literature. Heat

Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2005 We introduce a new topological sigma model, whose fields are bundle maps from the tangent bundle of a 2-dimensional world-sheet to a Dirac subbundle of an exact Courant algebroid over a target manifold. It generalizes simultaneously the (twisted) Poisson sigma model as well as the G/G-WZW model.

Physical Review D, 2009 Theories of low-energy Lorentz violation by a fixed-norm "aether" vector field with two-derivative kinetic terms have a globally bounded Hamiltonian and are perturbatively stable only if the vector is timelike and the kinetic term in the action takes the form of a sigma model. Here we investigate the phenomenological properties of this theory. We first

Sigma-Lognormal Modeling of Speech [PDF]
Cognitive Computation, 2021 AbstractHuman movement studies and analyses have been fundamental in many scientific domains, ranging from neuroscience to education, pattern recognition to robotics, health care to sports, and beyond. Previous speech motor models were proposed to understand how speech movement is produced and how the resulting speech varies when some parameters are ...

The exceptional sigma model [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 Abstract We detail the construction of the exceptional sigma model, which describes a string propagating in the “extended spacetime” of exceptional field theory. This is to U-duality as the doubled sigma model is to T-duality. Symmetry specifies the Weylinvariant Lagrangian uniquely and we show how it reduces to the correct 10 ...
