Abstract

Supersymmetric two-dimensional sigma models which include Wess-Zumino topological terms are constructed, analyzed, and interpreted by means of torsion on the field manifold. One-loop renormalization results are presented geometrically, revealing that an infrared fixed point exists when the torsion parallelizes the manifold. The O(4)/O(3) model is used to illustrate general results.
