Duality, Quotients, and Currents
read the original abstract
We study the generalization of $R\to 1/R$ duality to arbitrary conformally invariant sigma models with an isometry. We show that any pair of dual sigma models can be represented as quotients of a self-dual sigma model obtained by gauging different combinations of chiral currents. This observation is used to clarify the interpretation of the generalized duality as a symmetry of conformal field theory. We extend these results to $N=2$ supersymmetric sigma models.

Stringy T-duality on the lattice and the twisted Villain model
Introduces the twisted Villain model to realize exact T-duality on the lattice for fibred manifolds, recovering bundle-flux exchange and defining topological defects via half-gauging.

The classical Yangian symmetry of Auxiliary Field Sigma Models
Generalizes the BIZZ recursive procedure and provides sufficient conditions under which auxiliary field deformations of integrable sigma models retain classical Yangian symmetry and Maillet bracket structure.

The Large Vector Multiplet and Gauging $(2,2)$ $\sigma$-models
The Large Vector Multiplet underlies a new gauge multiplet in (2,2) supersymmetry, and gauging with it produces a beta-gamma system coupled to a sigma model.
