Abstract
This is the third of the series of articles on the large-N two-dimensional ℂℙN − 1 sigma model, defined on a finite space interval L with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Here the cases of the general Dirichlet boundary conditions are studied, where the relative ℂℙN − 1 orientations at the two boundaries are generic, and numerical solutions are presented. Distinctive features of the ℂℙN − 1 sigma model, as compared e.g., to an O(N) model, which were not entirely evident in the basic properties studied in the first two articles in the large N limit, manifest themselves here. It is found that the total energy is minimized when the fields are aligned in the same direction at the two boundaries.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
