Infinite Quantum Group Symmetry in 2d Quantum Field Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
I describe how integrable quantum field theories in 2 spacetime dimensions are characterized by infinite dimensional quantum group symmetries, namely the q-deformations of affine Lie algebras, and their Yangian limit. These symmetries can provide a new non-perturbative formulation of the theories.

A Dual 2D Model for the Quantum Hall Fluid
We present a dual 2D statistical model to describe the physical properties of a Quantum Hall Fluid. Such a model depends on a coupling constant g and an angular variable 0, which couples the electric and the magnetic charges. We show that it has topologically non trivial vacua (corresponding to rational values of the filling), which are infrared stable fixed points of the renormalization group....
متن کاملQuantum Squeezed Light Propagation in an Optical Parity-Time (PT)-Symmetric Structure
We investigate the medium effect of a parity-time (PT)-symmetric bilayer on the quantum optical properties of an incident squeezed light at zero temperature (T=0 K). To do so, we use the canonical quantization approach and describe the amplification and dissipation properties of the constituent layers of the bilayer structure by Lorentz model to analyze the quadrature squeezing of the outgoing ...
متن کاملThe Quantum Double in Integrable Quantum Field Theory
Various aspects of recent works on affine quantum group symmetry of integrable 2d quantum field theory are reviewed and further clarified. A geometrical meaning is given to the quantum double, and other properties of quantum groups. Multiplicative presentations of the Yangian double are analyzed.

We review various aspects of (infinite) quantum group symmetries in 2D massive quantum field theories. We discuss how these symmetries can be used to exactly solve the integrable models. A possible way for generalizing to three dimensions is shortly described..

متن کاملHidden Quantum Group Symmetry in the Chiral Model
We apply the SL(2, C) lattice Kac-Moody algebra of Alekseev, Faddeev and SemenovTian-Shansky to obtain a new lattice description of the SU(2) chiral model in two dimensions. The system has a global quantum group symmetry and it can be regarded as a deformation of two different theories. One is the nonabelian Toda lattice which is obtained in the limit of infinite central charge, while the other...
