We study fractional Skyrmions in a $mathbb{C}P^2$ baby Skyrme model with a generalization of the easy-plane potential. By numerical methods, we find stable, metastable, and unstable solutions taking the shapes of molecules. Various solutions possess discrete symmetries, and the origin of those symmetries are traced back to congruencies of the fields in homogeneous coordinates on $mathbb{C}P^2$.

The $mathbb{C}P^{N-1}$ sigma model at finite temperature is studied using lattice Monte Carlo simulations on $S_{s}^{1} times S_{tau}^{1}$ with radii $L_{s}$ and $L_{tau}$, respectively, where the ratio of the circumferences is taken to be sufficiently large ($L_{s}/L_{tau} gg 1$) to simulate the model on $mathbb{R} times S^1$. We show that the expectation value of the Polyakov loop undergoes a deconfinement crossover as $L_{tau}$ is decreased, where the peak of the associated susceptibility gets sharper for larger $N$. We find that the global PSU($N$)=SU($N$)$/{mathbb Z}_{N}$ symmetry remains unbroken at quantum and classical levels for the small and large $L_{tau}$, respectively: in the small $L_tau$ region for finite $N$, the order parameter fluctuates extensively with its expectation value consistent with zero after taking an ensemble average, while in the large $L_tau$ region the order parameter remains small with little fluctuations. We also calculate the thermal entropy and find that the degrees of freedom in the small $L_{tau}$ regime are consistent with $N-1$ free complex scalar fields, thereby indicating a good agreement with the prediction from the large-$N$ study for small $L_{tau}$.
In the leading order of the large-$N$ approximation, we study the renormalon ambiguity in the gluon (or, more appropriately, photon) condensate in the 2D supersymmetric $mathbb{C}P^{N-1}$ model on~$mathbb{R}times S^1$ with the $mathbb{Z}_N$ twisted boundary conditions. In our large~$N$ limit, the combination $Lambda R$, where $Lambda$ is the dynamical scale and $R$~is the $S^1$ radius, is kept fixed (we set $Lambda Rll1$ so that the perturbative expansion with respect to the coupling constant at the mass scale~$1/R$ is meaningful). We extract the perturbative part from the large-$N$ expression of the gluon condensate and obtain the corresponding Borel transform~$B(u)$. For~$mathbb{R}times S^1$, we find that the Borel singularity at~$u=2$, which exists in the system on the uncompactified~$mathbb{R}^2$ and corresponds to twice the minimal bion action, disappears. Instead, an unfamiliar renormalon singularity emph{emerges/} at~$u=3/2$ for the compactified space~$mathbb{R}times S^1$. The semi-classical interpretation of this peculiar singularity is not clear because $u=3/2$ is not dividable by the minimal bion action. It appears that our observation for the system on~$mathbb{R}times S^1$ prompts reconsideration on the semi-classical bion picture of the infrared renormalon.
By employing the $1/N$ expansion, we compute the vacuum energy~$E(deltaepsilon)$ of the two-dimensional supersymmetric (SUSY) $mathbb{C}P^{N-1}$ model on~$mathbb{R}times S^1$ with $mathbb{Z}_N$ twisted boundary conditions to the second order in a SUSY-breaking parameter~$deltaepsilon$. This quantity was vigorously studied recently by Fujimori et al. using a semi-classical approximation based on the bion, motivated by a possible semi-classical picture on the infrared renormalon. In our calculation, we find that the parameter~$deltaepsilon$ receives renormalization and, after this renormalization, the vacuum energy becomes ultraviolet finite. To the next-to-leading order of the $1/N$ expansion, we find that the vacuum energy normalized by the radius of the~$S^1$, $R$, $RE(deltaepsilon)$ behaves as inverse powers of~$Lambda R$ for~$Lambda R$ small, where $Lambda$ is the dynamical scale. Since $Lambda$ is related to the renormalized t~Hooft coupling~$lambda_R$ as~$Lambdasim e^{-2pi/lambda_R}$, to the order of the $1/N$ expansion we work out, the vacuum energy is a purely non-perturbative quantity and has no well-defined weak coupling expansion in~$lambda_R$.
We investigate the lattice ${mathbb C} P^{N-1}$ sigma model on $S_{s}^{1}$(large) $times$ $S_{tau}^{1}$(small) with the ${mathbb Z}_{N}$ symmetric twisted boundary condition, where a sufficiently large ratio of the circumferences ($L_{s}gg L_{tau}$) is taken to approximate ${mathbb R} times S^1$. We find that the expectation value of the Polyakov loop, which is an order parameter of the ${mathbb Z}_N$ symmetry, remains consistent with zero ($|langle Prangle|sim 0$) from small to relatively large inverse coupling $beta$ (from large to small $L_{tau}$). As $beta$ increases, the distribution of the Polyakov loop on the complex plane, which concentrates around the origin for small $beta$, isotropically spreads and forms a regular $N$-sided-polygon shape (e.g. pentagon for $N=5$), leading to $|langle Prangle| sim 0$. By investigating the dependence of the Polyakov loop on $S_{s}^{1}$ direction, we also verify the existence of fractional instantons and bions, which cause tunneling transition between the classical $N$ vacua and stabilize the ${mathbb Z}_{N}$ symmetry. Even for quite high $beta$, we find that a regular-polygon shape of the Polyakov-loop distribution, even if it is broken, tends to be restored and $|langle Prangle|$ gets smaller as the number of samples increases. To discuss the adiabatic continuity of the vacuum structure from another viewpoint, we calculate the $beta$ dependence of ``pseudo-entropy density $proptolangle T_{xx}-T_{tautau}rangle$. The result is consistent with the absence of a phase transition between large and small $beta$ regions.
Topologically stable non-Abelian sine-Gordon solitons have been found recently in the $U(N)$ chiral Lagrangian and a $U(N)$ gauge theory with two $N$ by $N$ complex scalar fields coupled to each other. We construct the effective theory on a non-Abelian sine-Gordon soliton that is a nonlinear sigma model with the target space ${mathbb R} times {mathbb C}P^{N-1}$. We then show that ${mathbb C}P^{N-1}$ lumps on it represent $SU(N)$ Skyrmions in the bulk point of view, providing a physical realization of the rational map Ansatz for Skyrmions of the translational (Donaldson) type. We find therefore that Skyrmions can exist stably without the Skyrme term.
