Complex nonlinear sigma model

Kazuki Yamamoto, Kohei Kawabata

Motivated by the recent interest in the criticality of open quantum many-body systems, we study nonlinear sigma models with complexified couplings as a general framework for nonunitary field theory. Applying the perturbative renormalization-group analysis to the tenfold symmetric spaces, we demonstrate that fixed points with complex scaling dimensions and critical exponents arise generically, without counterparts in conventional nonlinear sigma models with real couplings. We further clarify the global phase diagrams in the complex-coupling plane and identify both continuous and discontinuous phase transitions. Our work thus identifies nonlinear sigma models as a representative setting for studying complex critical points and elucidates universal aspects of critical phenomena in complexified field theory.

Functional renormalization group analysis of the O ( 3 ) nonlinear sigma model and non-Abelian bosonization duality

Junichi Haruna, Keito Shimizu, Masatoshi Yamada

It is known that the U ( 2 ) Wess-Zumino-Witten model is dual to the free fermion theory in two dimensions via non-Abelian bosonization. While it is decomposed into the S U ( 2 ) Wess-Zumino-Witten model and a free compact boson, the former is believed to be equivalent to the O ( 3 ) nonlinear sigma model with the theta term at θ = π . In this work, we reexamine this duality through the lens of nonperturbative renormalization group (RG) flow. We analyze the RG flow structure of the O ( 3 ) nonlinear sigma model with the theta term in two dimensions using the functional renormalization group. Our results reveal a nontrivial fixed point with a nonzero value of the topological coupling. The scaling dimensions (critical exponents) at this fixed point suggest the realization of a duality between the O ( 3 ) nonlinear sigma model with the theta term and the free fermion theory, indicating that these models belong to the same universality class.
