Abstract: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. We discuss the relation between the nonlinear sigma model constructed in the harmonic superspace formalism and the nonlinear sigma model constructed in the projective superspace formalism by comparing each model with the N = 2 nonlinear sigma model constructed in the N = 1 superspace formalism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
