Auxiliary Field Deformations of (Semi-)Symmetric Space Sigma Models

Daniele Bielli, Christian Ferko, Liam Smith +1

We generalize the auxiliary field deformations of the principal chiral model (PCM) introduced in arXiv:2405.05899 and arXiv:2407.16338 to sigma models whose target manifolds are sy…

Integrable Higher-Spin Deformations of Sigma Models from Auxiliary Fields

Daniele Bielli, Christian Ferko, Liam Smith +1

We construct a new infinite family of integrable deformations of the principal chiral model (PCM) parameterized by an interaction function of several variables, which extends the f…

T-Duality and -like Deformations of Sigma Models

Daniele Bielli, Christian Ferko, Liam Smith +1

We initiate the study of the interplay between T-duality and classical stress tensor deformations in two-dimensional sigma models. We first show that a general Abelian T-duality co…

Auxiliary Field Sigma Models and Yang-Baxter Deformations

Daniele Bielli, Christian Ferko, Liam Smith +1

We combine the Yang-Baxter (YB) and bi-Yang-Baxter (bi-YB) deformations with higher-spin auxiliary field deformations to construct multi-parameter families of integrable deformatio…

Infinite Family of Integrable Sigma Models Using Auxiliary Fields

Christian Ferko, Liam Smith

We introduce a class of sigma models which are parameterized by a function of one variable. In addition to the physical field , these models include an auxiliary field $v_α…

Duality-Invariant Non-linear Electrodynamics and Stress Tensor Flows

Christian Ferko, Sergei M. Kuzenko, Liam Smith +1

Given a model for self-dual non-linear electrodynamics in four spacetime dimensions, any deformation of this theory which is constructed from the duality-invariant energy-momentum…

Stress Tensor Flows, Birefringence in Non-Linear Electrodynamics, and Supersymmetry

Christian Ferko, Liam Smith, Gabriele Tartaglino-Mazzucchelli

We identify the unique stress tensor deformation which preserves zero-birefringence conditions in non-linear electrodynamics, which is a version of the opera…

On Current-Squared Flows and ModMax Theories

Christian Ferko, Liam Smith, Gabriele Tartaglino-Mazzucchelli

We show that the recently introduced ModMax theory of electrodynamics and its Born-Infeld-like generalization are related by a flow equation driven by a quadratic combination of st…
