Quantum Sl N Toda Field Theories
نویسنده
چکیده
We quantize sl n Toda field theories in a periodic lattice. We find the quantum exchange algebra in the diagonal monodromy (Bloch wave) basis in the case of the defining representation. In the sl 3 case we extend the analysis also to the second fundamental representation. We clarify, in particular, the relation of Jimbo and Rosso's quantum R matrix with the quantum R matrix in the Bloch wave basis.

Hidden Quantum Group Symmetry in the Chiral Model
We apply the SL(2, C) lattice Kac-Moody algebra of Alekseev, Faddeev and SemenovTian-Shansky to obtain a new lattice description of the SU(2) chiral model in two dimensions. The system has a global quantum group symmetry and it can be regarded as a deformation of two different theories. One is the nonabelian Toda lattice which is obtained in the limit of infinite central charge, while the other...
متن کاملGeometric Engineering of N=1 Quantum Field Theories
We construct local geometric model in terms of Fand M-theory compactification on Calabi-Yau fourfolds which lead to N = 1 Yang-Mills theory in d = 4 and its reduction on a circle to d = 3. We compute the superpotential in d = 3, as a function of radius, which is generated by the Euclidean 5-brane instantons. The superpotential turns out to be the same as the potential for affine Toda theories. ...
متن کاملQuantum group symmetry in sine-Gordon and affine Toda field theories on the half-line
We consider the sine-Gordon and affine Toda field theories on the half-line with classically integrable boundary conditions, and show that in the quantum theory a remnant survives of the bulk quantized affine algebra symmetry generated by nonlocal charges. The paper also develops a general framework for obtaining solutions of the reflection equation by solving an intertwining property for repre...
متن کاملInfinite Charge Algebra of Gravitational Instantons
Using a formalism of minitwistors, we derive infinitely many conserved charges for the sl(∞)-Toda equation which accounts for gravitational instantons with a rotational Killing symmetry. These charges are shown to form an infinite dimensional algebra through the Poisson bracket which is isomorphic to two dimensional area preserving diffeomorphism with central extentions.

متن کاملGlobal Aspects of the WZNW Reduction to Toda Theories
It is well-known that the Toda Theories can be obtained by reduction from the Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) model, but it is less known that this WZNW → Toda reduction is 'incomplete'. The reason for this incompleteness being that the Gauss decomposition used to define the Toda fields from the WZNW field is valid locally but not globally over the WZNW group manifold, which implies that actu...
