We consider the renormalization group flow equation for the two-dimensional sigma models with the Kähler target space. The first-order formulation allows us to treat perturbations in these models as current-current deformations. We demonstrate, however, that the conventional first-order formalism misses certain anomalies in the measure, and should be amended. We reconcile beta functions obtained within the conformal perturbation theory for the current-current deformations with traditional “geometric” results obtained in the background field methods, in this way resolving the peculiarities pointed out in O. Gamayun [Peculiarities of beta functions in sigma models, ]. The result is achieved by the supersymmetric completion of the first-order sigma model. Published by the American Physical Society 2024
