Dirac Sigma Models
Alexei Kotov, Peter Schaller, Thomas Strobl
We introduce a new topological sigma model, whose fields are bundle maps from the tangent bundle of a 2-dimensional world-sheet to a Dirac subbundle of an exact Courant algebroid o…

Current Algebras and Differential Geometry
Anton Alekseev, Thomas Strobl
We show that symmetries and gauge symmetries of a large class of 2-dimensional sigma models are described by a new type of a current algebra. The currents are labeled by pairs of a…

Algebroid Yang-Mills Theories
Thomas Strobl
A framework for constructing new kinds of gauge theories is suggested. Essentially it consists in replacing Lie algebras by Lie or Courant algebroids. Besides presenting novel topo…
