The two-dimensional minimal supersymmetric sigma models with homogeneous target spaces $G/H$ and chiral fermions of the same chirality are revisited. We demonstrate that the Moore-Nelson consistency condition revealing a global anomaly in CP(N-1) (with N>2 and ${mathcal N}=(0,2)$ supersymmetry) due to a nontrivial first Pontryagin class is in one-to-one correspondence with the local anomalies of isometries in these models. These latter anomalies are generated by fermion loop diagrams which we explicitly calculate. In the case of O}(N) sigma models the first Pontryagin class vanishes, so there is no global obstruction for the minimal ${mathcal N}=(0,1)$ supersymmetrization of these models. We show that at the local level isometries in these models are anomaly free. Thus, there are no obstructions to quantizing the minimal ${mathcal N}=(0,1)$ models with the $S^{N-1}= SO(N)/SO(N-1)$ target space. This also includes CP(1) (equivalent to $S^{2}$) which is an exceptional case from the CP(N-1) series. We also discuss a relation between the geometric and gauged formulations of the CP}(N-1) models.
We construct connected (0,2) sigma models starting from n copies of (2,2) CP(N-1) models. General aspects of models of this type (known as T+O deformations) had been previously studied in the context of heterotic string theories. Our construction pre
We study chiral anomalies in $mathcal N=(0, 1)$ and $(0, 2)$ two-dimensional minimal sigma models defined on generic homogeneous spaces $G/H$. Such minimal theories contain only (left) chiral fermions and in certain cases are inconsistent because of
We holomorphically embed nonlinear sigma models (NLSMs) on $SO(2N)/U(N)$ and $Sp(N)/U(N)$ in the hyper-K{a}hler (HK) NLSM on the cotangent bundle of the Grassmann manifold $T^ast G_{2N,N}$, which is defined by $G_{N+M,M}=frac{SU(N+M)}{SU(N)times SU(M
We study vacua, walls and three-pronged junctions of mass-deformed nonlinear sigma models on $SO(2N)/U(N)$ and $Sp(N)/U(N)$ for generic $N$. We review and discuss the on-shell component Lagrangians of the ${mathcal{N}}=2$ nonlinear sigma model on the
We study vacua and walls of mass-deformed Kahler nonlinear sigma models on $Sp(N)/U(N)$. We identify elementary walls with the simple roots of $USp(2N)$ and discuss compressed walls, penetrable walls and multiwalls by using the moduli matrix formalism.
