We consider several classes of $sigma$-models (on groups and symmetric spaces, $eta$-models, $lambda$-models) with local couplings that may depend on the 2d coordinates, e.g. on time $tau$. We observe that (i) starting with a classically integrable 2d $sigma$-model, (ii) formally promoting its couplings $h_alpha$ to functions $h_alpha(tau)$ of 2d time, and (iii) demanding that the resulting time-dependent model also admits a Lax connection implies that $h_alpha(tau)$ must solve the 1-loop RG equations of the original theory with $tau$ interpreted as RG time. This provides a novel example of an integrability - RG flow connection. The existence of a Lax connection suggests that these time-dependent $sigma$-models may themselves be understood as integrable. We investigate this question by studying the possibility of constructing non-local and local conserved charges. Such $sigma$-models with $D$-dimensional target space and time-dependent couplings subject to the RG flow naturally appear in string theory upon fixing the light-cone gauge in a $(D+2)$-dimensional conformal $sigma$-model with a metric admitting a covariantly constant null Killing vector and a dilaton linear in the null coordinate.

We introduce and study conformal field theories specified by $W-$algebras commuting with certain set of screening charges. These CFTs possess perturbations which define integrable QFTs. We establish that these QFTs have local and non-local Integrals of Motion and admit the perturbation theory in the weak coupling region. We construct factorized scattering theory which is consistent with non-local Integrals of Motion and perturbation theory. In the strong coupling limit the $S-$matrix of this QFT tends to the scattering matrix of the $O(N)$ sigma model. The perturbation theory, Bethe anzatz technique, renormalization group approach and methods of conformal field theory are applied to show, that the constructed QFTs are dual to integrable deformation of $O(N)$ sigma-models.
In this paper, we develop a new method of computing three-point functions in the SU(2) sector of the $mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory in the semi-classical regime at weak coupling, which closely parallels the strong coupling analysis. The structure threading two disparate regimes is the so-called monodromy relation, an identity connecting the three-point functions with and without the insertion of the monodromy matrix. We shall show that this relation can be put to use directly for the semi-classical regime, where the dynamics is governed by the classical Landau-Lifshitz sigma model. Specifically, it reduces the problem to a set of functional equations, which can be solved once the analyticity in the spectral parameter space is specified. To determine the analyticity, we develop a new universal logic applicable at both weak and strong couplings. As a result, compact semi-classical formulas are obtained for a general class of three-point functions at weak coupling including the ones whose semi-classical behaviors were not known before. In addition, the new analyticity argument applied to the strong coupling analysis leads to a modification of the integration contour, producing the results consistent with the recent hexagon bootstrap approach. This modification also makes the Frolov-Tseytlin limit perfectly agree with the weak coupling form.
We review some recents developments of the algebraic structures and spectral properties of non-Hermitian deformations of Calogero models. The behavior of such extensions is illustrated by the $A_2$ trigonometric and the $D_3$ angular Calogero models. Features like intertwining operators and conserved charges are discussed in terms of Dunkl operators. Hidden symmetries coming from the so-called algebraic integrability for integral values of the coupling are addressed together with a physical regularization of their action on the states by virtue of a $mathcal{PT}$-symmetry deformation.
We derive and discuss, at both the classical and the quantum levels, generalized N = 2 supersymmetric quantum mechanical sigma models describing the motion over an arbitrary real or an arbitrary complex manifold with extra torsions. We analyze the relevant vacuum states to make explicit the fact that their number is not affected by adding the torsion terms.
For the rational quantum Calogero systems of type $A_1{oplus}A_2$, $AD_3$ and $BC_3$, we explicitly present complete sets of independent conserved charges and their nonlinear algebras. Using intertwining (or shift) operators, we include the extra `odd charges appearing for integral couplings. Formulae for the energy eigenstates are used to tabulate the low-level wave functions.
