Synopsis
This book gathers together established ideas and applications of sigma models and presents them together with modern applications to provide a unified and complete view of simple sigma models and the role they play in model building in field theoretical methods in elementary particle physics. The book is written for both mathematicians and physicists and is aimed at graduate students and researchers in theoretical particle physics who are interested in sigma models and those working in the general area of harmonic maps in pure mathematics.
