Nonlinear sigma models on constant curvature target manifolds: A functional renormalization group approach
We study nonlinear sigma models on target manifolds with constant (positive or negative) curvature using the functional renormalization group and the background field method. We pay particular attention to the splitting Ward identities associated to the invariance under reparametrization of the background field. Implementing these Ward identities imposes to use …
