Conserved Charges in the Principal Chiral Model on a Supergroup
نویسنده
چکیده
The classical principal chiral model in 1+1 dimensions with target space a compact Lie supergroup is investigated. It is shown how to construct a local conserved charge given an invariant tensor of the Lie superalgebra. We calculate the super-Poisson brackets of these currents and argue that they are finitely generated. We show how to derive an infinite number of local charges in involution. We demonstrate that these charges Poisson commute with the non-local charges of the model.

Conserved charges and supersymmetry in principal chiral models
We consider local and non-local charges in bosonic and supersymmetric principal chiral models in 1+1 dimensions. In the bosonic case we point out that there exist local conserved charges, in involution with the Yangian non-local charges, which have spins equal to the orders of the Casimir operators and which therefore fit Dorey’s construction. We clarify earlier arguments due to Goldschmidt and...
متن کاملLocal conserved charges in principal chiral models
We investigate local conserved charges in principal chiral models in 1+1 dimensions. There is a classically conserved local charge for each invariant tensor of the underlying group. We prove that these are always in involution with the non-local Yangian charges and we study their classical Poisson bracket algebra. For the groups U(N), O(N) and Sp(N) we show that there are infinitely many commut...
متن کاملThe SO(N) principal chiral field on a half-line
We investigate the integrability of the SO(N) principal chiral model on a halfline, and find that mixed Dirichlet/Neumann boundary conditions (as well as pure Dirichlet or Neumann) lead to infinitely many conserved charges classically in involution. We use an anomaly-counting method to show that at least one non-trivial example survives quantization, compare our results with the proposed reflec...
متن کاملBoundary remnant of Yangian symmetry and the structure of rational reflection matrices
For the classical principal chiral model with boundary, we give the subset of the Yangian charges which remains conserved under certain integrable boundary conditions, and extract them from the monodromy matrix. Quantized versions of these charges are used to deduce the structure of rational solutions of the reflection equation, analogous to the ‘tensor product graph’ for solutions of the Yang-...
متن کاملConserved charges and supersymmetry in principal chiral and WZW models
Conserved and commuting charges are investigated in both bosonic and supersymmetric classical chiral models, with and without Wess-Zumino terms. In the bosonic theories, there are conserved currents based on symmetric invariant tensors of the underlying algebra, and the construction of infinitely many commuting charges, with spins equal to the exponents of the algebra modulo its Coxeter number,...
