چکیده

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] 2Present address 3Email: [email protected]

Free Field Realization of WBC n and WG 2 algebras

We study the BRST-cohomology in the quantum hamiltonian reduction of affine Lie algebras of non-simply laced type. We obtain the free field realization of the Wg-algebra for g = B2, B3, C3 and G2. The WC3 algebra is shown to be equal to the WB3 algebra at the quantum level by duality transformation. W -algebra symmetry [1, 2] plays an important role in the classification of rational conformal f...

SU(∞) q-MOYAL-NAHM EQUATIONS AND QUANTUM DEFORMATIONS OF THE SELF DUAL MEMBRANE

ABSTRACT Since the lightcone self dual spherical membrane, moving in flat target backgrounds, has a direct correspondence with the SU(∞) Nahm equations and the continuous Toda theory, we construct the quantum/Moyal deformations of the self dual membrane in terms of the q-Moyal star product . The q deformations of the SU(∞) Nahm equations are studied and explicit solutions are given. The continu...

2 W - algebras for non - abelian Toda systems

We construct the classical W -algebras for some non-abelian Toda systems associated with the Lie groups GL 2n(R) and Spn(R). We start with the set of characteristic integrals and find the Poisson brackets for the corresponding Hamiltonian counterparts. The convenient block matrix representaion for the Toda equations is used. The infinitesimal symmetry transformations generated by the elements o...
