Abstract

A supersymmetric form of the two-dimensional nonlinear σ model is described; the primary purpose is to explore further the analogy between the σ model and four-dimensional Yang-Mills theory. In the case of three components, the theory contains an enlarged supersymmetry algebra and is equivalent to the ordinary σ model with an additional logarithmic interaction between pseudoparticles.
