We extend our investigation on a possible de Sitter symmetry breaking mechanism in nonlinear sigma models. The scale invariance of the quantum fluctuations could make the cosmological constant time dependent signaling the de Sitter symmetry breaking. To understand such a symmetry breaking mechanism, we investigate the energy-momentum tensor. We show that the leading infrared logarithms cancel to all orders in perturbation theory in a generic nonlinear sigma model. When the target space is ansphere, the de Sitter symmetry is preserved in the largelimit. For a less symmetric target space, the infrared logarithms appear at the three-loop level. However, there is a counterterm to precisely cancel it. The leading infrared logarithms do not cancel for higher derivative interactions. We investigate such a model in which the infrared logarithms first appear at the three-loop level. A nonperturbative investigation in the largelimit shows that they eventually grow as large as the one-loop effect.
