Abstract

We review the quantum status of the non-linear bosonic δ-models built on compact homogeneous spaces. The subclass of Kähler manifolds can be parametrized in such a way that multiplicative renormalizability holds, to all-order of perturbation theory. The essential ingredients are the homogeneity of the space and the existence of a charge Y that separates the fields in ϕ and ϕ : for these Kähler manifolds, a family of coordinate frames exists such that the non-linear isometries are holomorphic. The method is exemplified on the special case SU(3)/(U(l)xU(l)).

The material Uresented here results from work done in Paris with François DEL DUC and Galliano VALENT.
