Virial expansion of the non-linear sigma model in the strong coupling   limit
  We develop a perturbative approach to study the supersymmetric non-linear sigma model characterized by a generic coupling matrix in the strong coupling limit. The method allows us to calculate explicitly the moments of the eigenfunctions and the two-level correlation function in the lowest order of the perturbative expansion. We find that the obtained expressions are equivalent to the results derived before for the corresponding random matrix ensembles. Such an equivalence is elucidated and generalized to all orders of the perturbative expansion by mapping the sigma model onto the field theory describing the almost diagonal random matrices.
