Homological classification of topological terms in sigma models on homogeneous spaces

Abstract We classify the topological terms (in a sense to be made precise) that may appear in a non-linear sigma model based on maps from an arbitrary worldvolume manifold to a homogeneous space G/H (where G is an arbitrary Lie group and H ⊂ G). We derive a new condition for G-invariance of topologi...
