Abstract: In the present paper we study flag manifold sigma-models that admit a zero-curvature representation. It is shown that these models may be naturally considered as interacting (holomorphic and anti-holomorphic) -systems. Besides, using the theory of nilpotent orbits of complex Lie groups, we establish a relation to the principal chiral model.


This work studies flag manifold sigma models introduced by the author earlier [``Complex structures and zero-curvature equations for \(\sigma\)-models, Phys. Lett. B 760, 341--344 (2016)]. It is shown that these models can be alternatively formulated as two coupled \(\beta\gamma\)-systems interacting via an auxiliary field. This proves the equivalence of these models and the flag manifold models. This work also investigates the relation between the flag manifold sigma models and the principal chiral model. It is demonstrated that the solutions of the principal chiral model that define a map into the nilpotent orbit of the corresponding complexified Lie group, correspond to solutions of the flag manifold sigma model.
