Critical points in two-dimensional replica sigma models

arXiv:cond-mat/0006360

Abstract

I survey the kinds of critical behavior believed to be exhibited in two-dimensional disordered systems. I review the different replica sigma models used to describe the low-energy physics, and discuss how critical points appear because of WZW and theta terms.
