Non-Abelian sigma models from Yang–Mills theory compactified on a circle
We consider SU(N) Yang–Mills theory on R2,1×S1, where S1 is a spatial circle. In the infrared limit of a small-circle radius the Yang–Mills action reduces to the action of a sigma model on R2,1 whose target space is a 2(N−1)-dimensional torus modulo the Weyl-group action. We argue that there is free...
