Inverse scattering and solitons in An−1 affine Toda field theories II
نویسندگان
چکیده
New single soliton solutions to the affine Toda field theories are constructed, exhibiting previously unobserved topological charges. This goes some of the way in filling the weights of the fundamental representations, but nevertheless holes in the representations remain. We use the group doublecross product form of the inverse scattering method, and restrict ourselves to the rank one solutions.

Inverse scattering and solitons in A n − 1 affine Toda field theories
We implement the inverse scattering method in the case of the An affine Toda field theories, by studying the space-time evolution of simple poles in the underlying loop group. We find the known single and multi-soliton solutions, as well as additional solutions with nonlinear modes of oscillation around the standard solution, by studying the particularly simple case where the residue at the pol...
متن کاملOn the Topological Charges of Affine Toda Solitons
We provide a proof of a formula conjectured in [1] for some coefficients relevant in the principal vertex operator construction of a simply-laced affine algebra ĝ. These coefficients are important for the study of the topological charges of the solitons of affine Toda theories, and the construction of representations of non-simply-laced ĝ and their associated Toda solitons.
متن کاملVertex Operators and Soliton Time Delays in Affine Toda Field Theory
In a space-time of two dimensions the overall effect of the collision of two solitons is a time delay (or advance) of their final trajectories relative to their initial trajectories. For the solitons of affine Toda field theories, the space-time displacement of the trajectories is proportional to the logarithm of a number X depending only on the species of the colliding solitons and their rapid...
متن کاملNon-unitarity in quantum affine Toda theory and perturbed conformal field theory
There has been some debate about the validity of quantum affine Toda field theory at imaginary coupling, owing to the non-unitarity of the action, and consequently of its usefulness as a model of perturbed conformal field theory. Drawing on our recent work, we investigate the two simplest affine Toda theories for which this is an issue – a (1) 2 and a (2) 2 . By investigating the S-matrices of ...
متن کاملReality of Complex Affine Toda Solitons
There are infinitely many topological solitons in any given complex affine Toda theories and most of them have complex energy density. When we require the energy density of the solitons to be real, we find that the reality condition is related to a simple " pairing condition. " Unfortunately, rather few soliton solutions in these theories survive the reality constraint, especially if one also d...
