Toda Fields of So(3) Hyper–kahler Metrics and Free Field Realizations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Eguchi–Hanson, Taub–NUT and Atiyah–Hitchin metrics are the only complete non–singular SO(3)–invariant hyper–Kahler metrics in four dimensions. The presence of a rotational SO(2) isometry allows for their unified treatment based on solutions of the 3–dim continual Toda equation. We determine the Toda potential in each case and examine the free field realization of the corresponding solutions, using infinite power series expansions. The Atiyah–Hitchin metric exhibits some unusual features attributed to topological properties of the group of area preserving diffeomorphisms. The construction of a descending series of SO(2)-invariant 4–dim regular hyper–Kahler metrics remains an interesting question.

Toda Fields of So(3) Hyper–kahler Metrics
We examine the Toda frame formulation of the SO(3)–invariant hyper–Kahler 4–metrics, namely Eguchi–Hanson, Taub–NUT and Atiyah–Hitchin. Our method exploits the presence of a rotational SO(2) isometry, leading to the explicit construction of all three complex structures as a singlet plus a doublet. The Atiyah–Hitchin metric on the moduli space of BPS SU(2) monopoles with magnetic charge 2 is pur...
متن کاملExplicit Derivation of New Hyper-Kahler metric
Using the harmonic superspace techniques in D=2 N=4, we present an explicit derivation of a new hyper-Kahler metric associated to the Toda like self interaction H 4+ (ω, u) = (ξ ++ λ) 2 exp(2λω). Some important features are also discussed.
متن کاملNon-Abelian duality, parafermions, and supersymmetry.
Non–Abelian duality in relation to supersymmetry is examined. When the action of the isometry group on the complex structures is non–trivial, extended supersymmetry is realized non–locally after duality, using path ordered Wilson lines. Prototype examples considered in detail are, hyper–Kahler metrics with SO(3) isometry and supersymmetric WZW models. For the latter, the natural objects in the ...
متن کاملToda fields with boundary reflection
We study the affine A (1) n−1 Toda fields with boundary reflection. Our approach is based on the free field approach. We construct free field realizations of the boundary state and its dual. For an application of these realizations, we present integral representations for the form factors of the local operators. In a limiting case ρ → ∞, our integral representations reproduce those of form fact...
