Purely Transmitting Defect Field Theories

چکیده
We define an infinite class of integrable theories with a defect which are formulated as chiral defect perturbations of a conformal field theory. Such theories can be interacting in the bulk, and are purely transmitting through the defect. The examples of the sine-Gordon theory and Ising model are worked out in some detail.

Jump-defects in the nonlinear Schrödinger model and other non-relativistic field theories
Recent work on purely transmitting ‘jump-defects’ in the sine-Gordon model and other relativistic field theories is extended to non-relativistic models. In all the cases investigated the defect conditions are provided by ‘frozen’ Bäcklund transformations and it is also shown via a Lax pair argument how integrability will be preserved in the presence of this type of defect. Explicit examples of ...
متن کاملPurely Transmitting Integrable Defects * )
Some aspects of integrable field theories possessing purely transmitting defects are described. The main example is the sine-Gordon model and several striking features of a classical field theory containing one or more defects are pointed out. Similar features appearing in the associated quantum field theory are also reviewed briefly. 1 Classical picture The context of this topic is two-dimensi...

The classical sine-Gordon model is a two-dimensional integrable field theory, with particle like solutions the so-called solitons. Using its integra-bility one can define its quantum version without the process of canonical quantization. This bootstrap method uses the fundamental propterties of the model and its quantum features in order to restrict the structure of the scattering matrix as far...
متن کاملDefects in affine Toda field theories
In this talk some classical and quantum aspects concerning a special kind of integrable defect called a jump-defect will be reviewed. In particular, recent results obtained in an attempt to incorporate this defect in the affine Toda field theories, in addition to the sine-Gordon model, will be presented. 1 E-mail: [email protected]
