Affine Toda field theories related to Coxeter groups of non-crystallographic type

چکیده
We propose affine Toda field theories related to the non-crystallographic Coxeter groups H2, H3 and H4. The classical mass spectrum, the classical three-point couplings and the one-loop corrections to the mass renormalisation are determined. The construction is carried out by means of a reduction procedure from crystallographic to non-crystallographic Coxeter groups. The embedding structure explains for various affine Toda field theories that their particles can be organised in pairs, such that their relative masses differ by the golden ratio.

Hidden geometrical structures in integrable models
The bootstrap equations for the ADE series of purely elastic scattering theories have turned out to be intimately connected with the geometry of root systems and the Coxeter element. An informal review of some of this material is given, mentioning also a couple of other contexts – the Pasquier models, and the simply-laced affine Toda field theories – where similar structures are encountered. Th...
متن کاملExact S-matrices with Affine Quantum Group Symmetry
We show how to construct the exact factorized S-matrices of 1+1 dimensional quantum field theories whose symmetry charges generate a quantum affine algebra. Quantum affine Toda theories are examples of such theories. We take into account that the Lorentz spins of the symmetry charges determine the gradation of the quantum affine algebras. This gives the S-matrices a non-rigid pole structure. It...

By exploiting the properties of q-deformed Coxeter elements, the scattering matrices of affine Toda field theories with real coupling constant related to any dual pair of simple Lie algebras may be expressed in a completely generic way. We discuss the governing equations for the existence of bound states, i.e. the fusing rules, in terms of q-deformed Coxeter elements, twisted q-deformed Coxeter...
متن کاملNovel Kac-Moody-type affine extensions of non-crystallographic Coxeter groups
Motivated by recent results in mathematical virology, we present novel asymmetric Z[τ]-integer-valued affine extensions of the non-crystallographic Coxeter groups H2, H3 and H4 derived in a Kac-Moody-type formalism. In particular, we show that the affine reflection planes which extend the Coxeter group H3 generate (twist) translations along 2-, 3and 5-fold axes of icosahedral symmetry, and we c...
متن کاملNormalization Factors, Reflection Amplitudes and Integrable Systems
We calculate normalization factors and reflection amplitudes in the Winvariant conformal quantum field theories. Using these CFT data we derive vacuum expectation values of exponential fields in affine Toda theories and related perturbed conformal field theories. We apply these results to evaluate explicitly the expectation values of order parameters in the field theories associated with statis...
