Study of the "Non-Abelian" Current Algebra of a Non-linear $\sigma$-Model

Abstract

A particular form of non-linear $\sigma$-model, having a global gauge invariance, is studied. The detailed discussion on current algebra structures reveals the non-abelian nature of the invariance, with {\it{field dependent structure functions}}. Reduction of the field theory to a point particle framework yields a non-linear harmonic oscillator, which is a special case of similar models studied before in \cite{car}. The connection with noncommutative geometry is also established.
