Local conserved currents for nonlinear σ-models on symmetric spaces

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

A general method is presented to construct an infinite series of conserved local charges for a large class of two-dimensional nonlinear σ-models on symmetric spaces. The conservation laws are derived from a couple of first order Ricatti differential equations using the dual symmetry of σ-models on symmetric spaces. The method is exemplified for the case of σ-models on Grassmann manifolds.
