Abstract
It is shown that the bosonic non-linear sigma model with torsion may be reinterpreted as a non-linear sigma model formulated on an algebraically extended two-dimensional worldsheet. The torsion term arises naturally as a consequence of the extended geometry. The two models, while locally equivalent, have distinct global features.Keywords
