Purely 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...
متن کاملPurely Transmitting Defect Field Theories
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.
متن کاملJump-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 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]
متن کاملFactorization in integrable systems with impurity
This article is based on recent works done in collaboration with M. Mintchev, É. Ragoucy and P. Sorba. It aims at presenting the latest developments in the subject of factorization for integrable field theories with a reflecting and transmitting impurity.
