We study the system of two WZNW models coupled to each other via the current–current interaction. The system is proven to possess the strong/weak coupling duality symmetry. The strong coupling phase of this theory is discussed in detail. It is shown that in this phase the interacting WZNW models approach nontrivial conformal points along the renormalization group flow. The relation between the principal chiral model and interacting WZNW models is investigated.

In the framework of noncompact lattice QED with light fermions, we derive the functional dependence of the average energy per plaquette on the bare parameters using blockspin Renormalization Group arguments and assuming that the renormalized coupling vanishes. Our numerical results for this quantity in 84 and 104 lattices show evidence for triviality in the weak coupling phase and point to a nonvanishing value for the renormalized coupling constant in the strong coupling phase.

Abstract In the study of integrable non-linear σ-models which are assemblies and/or deformations of principal chiral models and/or WZW models, a rational function called the twist function plays a central rôle. For a large class of such models, we show that they are one-loop renormalizable, and that the renormalization group flow equations can be written directly in terms of the twist function in a remarkably simple way. The resulting equation appears to have a universal character when the integrable model is characterized by a twist function.

In this paper, we use Parisi and Sourlas dimensional reduction to show that QED has two phases, the strong coupling phase and weak coupling phase. Because chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken, particles with fractional charges are confined in the strong coupling phase by the condensation of topological configurations, and particles with integer charges are screened by fermion pairs.
