Abstract: Nonlinear sigma model (NLSM) based on the coset $extSU(N)imesextSU(N)/extSU(N)$ exhibits several intriguing features at the leading $calO(p^2)$ in the derivative expansion, such as the flavor-kinematics duality and an extended theory controlling the single and triple soft limits. In both cases the cubic biadjoint scalar theory plays a prominent role. We extend these features in two directions. First we uncover a new extended theory for $extSO(N+1)/extSO(N)$ NLSM at $calO(p^2)$, which is a cubic bifundamental/biadjoint scalar theory. Next we provide evidence for flavor-kinematics dualities up to $calO(p^4)$ for both $extSU(N)$ and $extSO(N)$ NLSM's. In particular, we introduce a new duality building block based on the symmetric tensor $delt{a}^{ab}$ and demonstrate several flavor-kinematics dualities for 4-point amplitudes, which precisely match the soft blocks employed to soft-bootstrap the NLSM's up to $calO(p^4)$.
