Sigma-model symmetry in orientifold models [PDF]
We investigate in the simplest compact D=4 N=1 Type IIB orientifold models the sigma-model symmetry suggested by the proposed duality of these models to heterotic orbifold vacua. This symmetry is known to be present at the classical level, and is associated to a composite connection involving untwisted moduli in the low-energy supergravity theory.

Non-compact nonlinear sigma models
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 ...

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.

Non-local non-linear sigma models
We study non-local non-linear sigma models in arbitrary dimension, focusing on the scale invariant limit in which the scalar fields naturally have scaling dimension zero, so that the free propagator is logarithmic.

Integrable crosscaps in classical sigma models
We study the integrable boundaries and crosscaps of classical sigma models. We show that there exists a classical analog of the integrability condition and KT-relation of the boundary and crosscap states of quantum spin chains.

Pseudoduality in sigma models [PDF]
We revisit classical "on shell" duality, i.e., pseudoduality, in two dimensional conformally invariant classical sigma models and find some new interesting results. We show that any two sigma models that are "on shell" duals have opposite 1-loop renormalization group beta functions because of the integrability conditions for the pseudoduality ...

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 ...

Bethe Ansatz in Stringy Sigma Models [PDF]
We compute the exact S-matrix and give the Bethe ansatz solution for three sigma-models which arise as subsectors of string theory in AdS(5)xS(5): Landau-Lifshitz model (non-relativistic sigma-model on S(2)), Alday-Arutyunov-Frolov model (fermionic sigma-model with su(1|1) symmetry), and Faddeev-Reshetikhin model (string sigma-model on S(3)xR).

Momentum Dependent Vertices $σγγ$, $σργ$ and $σρρ$ : The NJL Scalar Hidden by Chiral Symmetry [PDF]
We calculate the momentum dependence of three particle vertices $\sigma \gamma \gamma$, $\sigma \rho \gamma$ and $\sigma \rho \rho$ in the context of a Nambu Jona Lasinio type model. We show how they influence the processes $\gamma \gamma \rightarrow \sigma \rightarrow \pi \pi$, $\rho \rightarrow \gamma \sigma$ and $\gamma \gamma \rightarrow \rho \rho$
