The Thirring model is a two-dimensional, exactly solvable quantum field theory which describes the self-interactions of a Dirac field. If this spinor field is denoted by ψ, then the Thirring model is given by the

Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model — In quantum field theory, the Nambu–Jona Lasinio model (or more precisely: the Nambu and Jona Lasinio model) is a theory of nucleons and mesons constructed from interacting Dirac fermions with chiral symmetry which parallels the construction of… … Wikipedia
Non-linear sigma model — In quantum field theory, a nonlinear σ model describes a scalar field Σ which takes on values in a nonlinear manifold called the target manifold T. The target manifold is equipped with a Riemannian metric g. Σ is a differentiable map from… … Wikipedia
Chiral model — In nuclear physics, the chiral model is a phenomenological model describing mesons in the chiral limit where the masses of the quarks go to zero (without mentioning quarks at all). It s a nonlinear sigma model with the principal homogeneous space … Wikipedia
