Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We introduce a two-dimensional sigma model associated with a Jacobi manifold. The model is a generalisation of a Poisson sigma model providing a topological open string theory.

Junctions of mass-deformed nonlinear sigma models on SO(2N)/U(N) and Sp(N)/U(N). Part II
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 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.

Aspects of Nonrelativistic Strings
Frontiers in Physics, 2022 We review recent developments on nonrelativistic string theory. In flat spacetime, the theory is defined by a two-dimensional relativistic quantum field theory with nonrelativistic global symmetries acting on the worldsheet fields.

Duality, Generalized Global Symmetries and Jet Space Isometries
Universe, 2021 We revisit universal features of duality in linear and nonlinear relativistic scalar and Abelian 1-form theories with single or multiple fields, which exhibit ordinary or generalized global symmetries.

Cosmology of linear Higgs-sigma models with conformal invariance
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 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

New integrable coset sigma models
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 By using the general framework of affine Gaudin models, we construct a new class of integrable sigma models. They are defined on a coset of the direct product of N copies of a Lie group over some diagonal subgroup and they depend on 3N − 2 free ...

String Sigma Models on Curved Supermanifolds
Universe, 2018 We use the techniques of integral forms to analyze the easiest example of two-dimensional sigma models on a supermanifold. We write the action as an integral of a top integral form over a D = 2 supermanifold, and we show how to interpolate between ...

Renormalization of supersymmetric Lifshitz sigma models
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 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 ...

Common myths of six sigma demystified [PDF]
, 2008 Purpose – Six Sigma has been part of our business lexicon for more than a decade. Debates on its emergence as a strategic initiative have created critics who consider it as an old wine in a new bottle. Is Six Sigma a management fad? This article presents

Non-compact nonlinear sigma models
Physics Letters B, 2016 The target space of a nonlinear sigma model is usually required to be positive definite to avoid ghosts. We introduce a unique class of nonlinear sigma models where the target space metric has a Lorentzian signature, thus the associated group being non ...
