RG flows of integrable $σ$-models and the twist function

In the study of integrable non-linear $σ$-models which are assemblies and/or deformations of principal chiral models and/or WZW models, a rational function called the twist function plays a central role. For a large class of such models, we show that they are one-loop renormalizable, and that the renormalization group flow equations can be written directly in terms of the twist function in a remarkably simple way. The resulting equation appears to have a universal character when the integrable model is characterized by a twist function.

A note on the third family of N=2 supersymmetric KdV hierarchies

We propose a hamiltonian formulation of the $N=2$ supersymmetric KP type hierarchy recently studied by Krivonos and Sorin. We obtain a quadratic hamiltonian structure which allows for several reductions of the KP type hierarchy. In particular, the third family of $N=2$ KdV hierarchies is recovered. We also give an easy construction of Wronskian solutions of the KP and KdV type equations.

Supersymmetric Black Holes from Toda Theories

On the example of nonabelian Toda type theory associated with the Lie superalgebra $osp(2|4)$ we show that this integrable dynamical system is relevant to a black hole background metric in the corresponding target space. In the even sector the model under consideration reduces to the exactly solvable conformal theory (nonabelian $B_2$ Toda system) in the presence of a black hole recently proposed in the article "Black holes from non-abelian Toda theories" by the last two authors (hep-th 9203039).
