Pseudoduality in Sigma Models
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 transformation. A new result states for any two comp...
متن کاملGeneralized complex geometry and supersymmetric non - linear sigma models
After an elementary presentation of the relation between supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models and geometry, I focus on 2D and the target space geometry allowed when there is an extra supersymmetry. This leads to a brief introduction to generalized complex geometry, a notion introduced recently by Hitchin which interpolates between complex and symplectic manifolds. Finally I present worldsheet ...
متن کاملGeometry and analysis in non-linear sigma models
The configuration space of a non-linear sigma model is the space of maps from one manifold to another. This paper reviews the authors’ work on non-linear sigma models with target a homogeneous space. It begins with a description of the components, fundamental group, and cohomology of such configuration spaces together with the physical interpretations of these results. The topological arguments...

متن کاملA brief review of supersymmetric non-linear sigma models and generalized complex geometry
This is a review of the relation between supersymmetric non-linear sigma models and target space geometry. In particular, we report on the derivation of generalized Kähler geometry from sigma models with additional spinorial superfields. Some of the results reviewed are: Generalized complex geometry from sigma models in the Lagrangian formulation; Coordinatization of generalized Kähler geometry...
