Algebra of non-local charges in the O(N) WZNW model at and beyond criticality

We derive the classical algebra of the non-local conserved charges in the O(N) WZNW model and analyze its dependence on the coupling constant of the Wess-Zumino term. As in the non-linear sigma model, we find cubic deformations of the O(N) affine algebra. The surprising result is that the cubic algebra of the WZNW non-local charges does not obey the Jacobi identity, thus opposing our expectations from the known Yangian symmetry of this model.

Algebra of Non-Local Charges in Supersymmetric Non-Linear Sigma Models

We propose a graphic method to derive the classical algebra (Dirac brackets) of non-local conserved charges in the two dimensional supersymmetric non-linear $O(N)$ sigma model. As in the purely bosonic theory we find a cubic Yangian algebra. We also consider the extension of graphic methods to other integrable theories.

Current Algebra of Super WZNW Models

We derive the current algebra of supersymmetric principal chiral models with a Wess-Zumino term. At the critical point one obtains two commuting super Kac-Moody algebra as expected, but in general there are intertwining fields connecting both right and left sectors, analogously to the bosonic case. Moreover, in the present supersymmetric extension we have a quadratic algebra, rather than an affine Lie algebra, due to the mixing between bosonic and fermionic fields since the purely fermionic sector displays a Lie algebra as well.
