The role of complex structure in the chiral model

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

Chiral models are considered in the unified viewpoint of complex structure, on the space-time as well as on the field manifolds, and in the harmonic mappings thereof. Kähler form and Fubini-study metric are used in the analyses of invariants such as topological charge and Lagrangian. Duality equations are deduced directly from the assumption on the complex structure preservability of the mappings.
