چکیده
Two-dimensional sigma models in curved target spaces are considered in which a relationship between the warp factor and the dilaton is imposed in a renormalization group invariant way.

Integrable Models and Confinement in (2 + 1)-dimensional Weakly-coupled Yang-mills Theory
We generalize the (2 + 1)-dimensional Yang-Mills theory to an anisotropic form with two gauge coupling constants e and e. In axial gauge, a regularized version of the Hamiltonian of this gauge theory is H0 + e H1, where H0 is the Hamiltonian of a set of (1 + 1)-dimensional principal chiral sigma nonlinear models and H1 couples charge densities of these sigma models. We treatH1 as the interactio...
متن کاملConformal Invariance Of Interacting WZNW Models
We consider two level k WZNW models coupled to each other through a generalized Thirring-like current-current interaction. It is shown that in the large k limit, this interacting system can be presented as a two-parameter perturbation around a nonunitary WZNW model. The perturbation operators are the sigma model kinetic terms with metric related to the Thirring coupling constants. The renormali...
متن کاملSolitons in 1+1 Dimensional Gauged Sigma Models
We study soliton solutions in 1+1 dimensional gauged sigma models, obtained by dimensional reduction from its 2+1 dimensional counterparts. We show that the Bogomol’nyi bound of these models can be expressed in terms of two conserved charges in a similar way to that of the BPS dyons in 3 + 1 dimensions. Purely magnetic vortices of the 2+1 dimensional completely gauged sigma model appear as char...
متن کاملDimensional crossover and metal-insulator transition in quasi-two-dimensional disordered conductors
We study the metal-insulator transition (MIT) in weakly coupled disordered planes on the basis of a Non-Linear Sigma Model (NLσM). Using two different methods, a renormalization group (RG) approach and an auxiliary field method, we calculate the crossover length between a 2D regime at small length scales and a 3D regime at larger length scales. The 3D regime is described by an anisotropic 3D NL...
متن کاملIntegrable Sigma Models with Θ = Π
A fundamental result relevant to spin chains and two-dimensional disordered systems is that the sphere sigma model with instanton coupling θ = π has a non-trivial low-energy fixed point and a gapless spectrum. This result is extended to two series of sigma models with θ = π: the SU (N)/SO(N) sigma models flow to the SU (N) 1 WZW theory, while the O(2N)/O(N) × O(N) models flow to O(2N) 1 (2N fre...
