Supermagnets and Sigma models

Abstract

We discuss new methods for non-compact sigma models with and without RR fluxes. The methods include reduction to one dimensional supermagnets, supercoset constructions and supertwistors. This work is a first step towards the solution of these models, which are important in several areas of physics. I dedicate it to the memory of Volodya Gribov.Comment: 22 page
