Non-canonical folding of Dynkin diagrams and reduction of affine Toda theories
نویسندگان
چکیده
The equation of motion of affine Toda field theory is a coupled equation for r fields, r is the rank of the underlying Lie algebra. Most of the theories admit reduction, in which the equation is satisfied by fewer than r fields. The reductions in the existing literature are achieved by identifying (folding) the points in the Dynkin diagrams which are connected by symmetry (automorphism). In this paper we present many new reductions. In other words the symmetry of affine Dynkin diagrams could be extended and it leads to non-canonical foldings. We investigate these reductions in detail and formulate general rules for possible reductions. We will show that eventually most of the theories end up in a (2) 2n that is the theory cannot have a further dimension m reduction where m < n. Monbusho Fellow.

S-matrices of non-simply laced affine Toda theories by folding
The exact factorisable quantum S-matrices are known for simply laced as well as non-simply laced affine Toda field theories. Non-simply laced theories are obtained from the affine Toda theories based on simply laced algebras by folding the corresponding Dynkin diagrams. The same process, called classical ‘reduction’, provides solutions of a non-simply laced theory from the classical solutions w...
متن کاملIntegrability of Coupled Conformal Field Theories
The massive phase of two–layer integrable systems is studied by means of RSOS restrictions of affine Toda theories. A general classification of all possible integrable perturbations of coupled minimal models is pursued by an analysis of the (extended) Dynkin diagrams. The models considered in most detail are coupled minimal models which interpolate between magnetically coupled Ising models and ...
متن کاملDuality in Quantum Toda theory and W-algebras
We consider Quantum Toda theory associated to a general Lie algebra. We prove that the conserved quantities in both conformal and affine Toda theories exhibit duality interchanging the Dynkin diagram and its dual, and inverting the coupling constant. As an example we discuss the conformal Toda theories based on B2, B3 and G2 and the related affine theories. Feb 1992 1Email: H G [email protected]....
متن کاملGeneralized Dynkin diagrams and root systems and their folding
Graphs which generalize the simple or affine Dynkin diagrams are introduced. Each diagram defines a bilinear form on a root system and thus a reflection group. We present some properties of these groups and of their natural “Coxeter element”. The folding of these graphs and groups is also discussed, using the theory of C-algebras.
متن کاملFolding defect affine Toda field theories
A folding process is applied to fused a(1) r defects to construct defects for the non-simply laced affine Toda field theories of c(1) n , d (2) n and a (2) 2n at the classical level. Support for the hypothesis that these defects are integrable in the folded theories is given by the demonstration that energy and momentum are conserved. Further support is provided by the observation that transmit...
