We show that the disc bulk one-point functions in a sl(n) Toda conformal field theory have a well-defined limit for the central charge c=n-1, and that their limiting values can be obtained from a limit of bulk one-point functions in the W_n minimal models. This comparison leads to a proposal for one-point functions for twisted boundary conditions in Toda theory.

Using a contraction procedure, we obtain Toda theories and their structures, from affine Toda theories and their corresponding structures. By structures, we mean the equation of motion, the classical Lax pair, the boundary term for half line theories, and the quantum transfer matrix. The Lax pair and the transfer matrix so obtained, depend nontrivially on the spectral parameter.
It is shown that all affine Toda theories admit (1,0) supersymmetric extensions. The construction is based on classical Lie algebras and supersymmetric massive sigma models. The supersymmetrized affine Toda theories have a unique, supersymmetric vacuum, their mass matrix is well defined and their energy functional is positive semi-definite.
We present new supersymmetric extensions of Conformal Toda and $A^{(1)}_N$ Affine Toda field theories. These new theories are constructed using methods similar to those that have been developed to find supersymmetric extensions of two-dimensional bosonic sigma models with a scalar potential. In particular, we show that the Conformal Toda field theory admits a (1,1)-supersymmetric extension, and the $A^{(1)}_N$ Affine Toda field admits a (1,0)-supersymmetric extension.
We derive exact, factorized, purely elastic scattering matrices for affine Toda theories based on the nonsimply-laced Lie algebras and superalgebras.
In this paper we introduce a class of generalized supersymmetric Toda field theories. The theories are labeled by a continuous parameter and have $N=2$ supersymmetry. They include previously known $N=2$ Toda theories as special cases. Using the WZNW -->Toda reduction approach we obtain a closed expression for the bracket of the associated ${\cal W}$ algebras. We also derive an expression for the generators of the ${\cal W}$ algebra in a free superfield realization.

We consider Toda field theories in a classical Euclidean $AdS_2$ background. We compute the four-point functions of boundary operators in the $a_1$, $a_2$ and $b_2$ Toda field theories. They take the same form as the four-point functions of generators in the corresponding $\mathcal{W}$-algebras. Therefore we conjecture that the boundary operators are in one-to-one correspondence with the generators in the $\mathcal{W}$-algebras.
In analogy with the Liouville case we study the $sl_3$ Toda theory on the lattice and define the relevant quadratic algebra and out of it we recover the discrete $W_3$ algebra. We define an integrable system with respect to the latter and establish the relation with the Toda lattice hierarchy. We compute the the relevant continuum limits. Finally we find the quantum version of the quadratic algebra.
The parametric families of integrable boundary affine Toda theories are considered. We calculate boundary one-point functions and propose boundary S-matrices in these theories. We use boundary one-point functions and S-matrix amplitudes to derive boundary ground state energies and exact solutions describing classical vacuum configurations.
We apply the method of angular quantization to calculation of the wave function renormali- zation constants in $D_{l}^{(1)}$ affine Toda quantum field theories. A general formula for the wave function renormalization constants in ADE Toda field theories is proposed. We also calculate all one-particle form factors and some of the two-particle form factors of an exponential field.
The spectra of $A_r$ affine Toda field theories with imaginary coupling constant, are investigated. Soliton solutions are found, which, despite the non-unitary form of the Lagrangian, have real classical masses and are stable to small perturbations. The quantum corrections to the soliton masses are determined, to lowest order in $\hbar$. The solitons have the same spectrum as the fundamental Toda particles; a feature that is preserved in the quantum theory.
We reconsider the, by Brink and Vasiliev, recently proposed generalized Toda field theories using the framework of WZNW$\rightarrow$Toda reduction. The reduced theory has a gauge symmetry which can be fixed in various ways. We discuss some different gauge choices. In particular we study the ${\cal W}$ algebra associated with the generalized model in some different realizations, corresponding to different gauge choices. We also investigate the mapping between the Toda field and a free field and show the relation between the ${\cal W}$ algebra generators expressed in terms of the two different f…
The five-dimensional supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theory is studied in the framework of the relativistic Toda chain. This equation can be embedded in two-dimensional Toda lattice hierarchy. This system has the conjugate structure. This conjugate structure corresponds to the charge conjugation.
We study the ultraviolet asymptotics in non-simply laced affine Toda theories considering them as perturbed non-affine Toda theories, which possess the extended conformal symmetry. We calculate the reflection amplitudes, in non-affine Toda theories and use them to derive the quantization condition for the vacuum wave function, describing zero-mode dynamics. The solution of this quantization conditions for the ground state energy determines the UV asymptotics of the effective central charge. These asymptotics are in a good agreement with Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz(TBA) results. To make the comp…
A new method of gauging of WZNW models is presented, leading to a class of exact string solutions with a target space metric of Minkowskian signature. The corresponding models may be interpreted as $σ$-model analogues of the Toda field theories.
Vacuum expectation values of local fields for all dual pairs of non-simply laced affine Toda field theories recently proposed are checked against perturbative analysis. The computations based on Feynman diagram expansion are performed upto two-loops. Agreement is obtained.
The algebraic conditions that specific gauged G/H-WZW model have to satisfy in order to give rise to Non-Abelian Toda models with singular metric with or without torsion are found. The classical algebras of symmetries corresponding to grade one rank 2 and 3 singular NA-Toda models are derived.
The relation of the noncommutative self-dual Chern-Simons (NCSDCS) system to the noncommutative generalizations of Toda and of affine Toda field theories is investigated more deeply. This paper continues the programme initiated in $JHEP {\bf 10} (2005) 071$, where it was presented how it is possible to define Toda field theories through second order differential equation systems starting from the NCSDCS system. Here we show that using the connection of the NCSDCS to the noncommutative chiral model, exact solutions of the Toda field theories can be also constructed by means of the noncommutativ…
On the example of nonabelian Toda type theory associated with the Lie superalgebra $osp(2|4)$ we show that this integrable dynamical system is relevant to a black hole background metric in the corresponding target space. In the even sector the model under consideration reduces to the exactly solvable conformal theory (nonabelian $B_2$ Toda system) in the presence of a black hole recently proposed in the article "Black holes from non-abelian Toda theories" by the last two authors (hep-th 9203039).
A simple, basic, argument is given, based solely on energy-momentum considerations to recover conditions under which a_r affine or conformal Toda field theories can support defects of integrable type. Associated triangle relations are solved to provide expressions for transmission matrices that generalize previously known examples calculated for the sine-Gordon model and the a_2 affine Toda model.
In this talk some classical and quantum aspects concerning a special kind of integrable defect - called a jump-defect - will be reviewed. In particular, recent results obtained in an attempt to incorporate this defect in the affine Toda field theories, in addition to the sine-Gordon model, will be presented.
Classical integrability is investigated for affine Toda field theories in the presence of a constant background tensor field. This leads to a further set of discrete possibilities for integrable boundary conditions depending upon the time-derivative of the fields at the boundary but containing no free parameters other than the bulk coupling constant.
We give new formulations of the solutions of the field equations of the affine Toda and conformal affine Toda theories on a cylinder and two-dimensional Minkowski space-time. These solutions are parameterised in terms of initial data and the resulting covariant phase spaces are diffeomorphic to the Hamiltonian ones. We derive the fundamental Poisson brackets of the parameters of the solutions and give the general static solutions for the affine theory.
We study the quantum integrability of nonsimply--laced affine Toda theories defined on the half--plane and explicitly construct the first nontrivial higher--spin charges in specific examples. We find that, in contradistinction to the classical case, addition of total derivative terms to the "bulk" current plays a relevant role for the quantum boundary conservation.
We propose a relation between correlation functions in the 2d A_{N-1} conformal Toda theories and the Nekrasov instanton partition functions in certain conformal N=2 SU(N) 4d quiver gauge theories. Our proposal generalises the recently uncovered relation between the Liouville theory and SU(2) quivers. New features appear in the analysis that have no counterparts in the Liouville case.
We derive the exact, factorized, purely elastic scattering matrices for the $a_{2n-1}^{(2)}$ family of nonsimply-laced affine Toda theories. The derivation takes into account the distortion of the classical mass spectrum by radiative correction, as well as modifications of the usual bootstrap assumptions since for these theories anomalous threshold singularities lead to a displacement of some single particle poles.
We propose affine Toda field theories related to the non-crystallographic Coxeter groups H_2, H_3 and H_4. 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.
The reflection amplitudes in non-affine Toda theories which possess extended conformal symmetry are calculated. Considering affine Toda theories as perturbed non-affine Toda theories and using reflection relations which relate different fields with the same conformal dimension, we deduce the vacuum expectation values of local fields for all dual pairs of non-simply laced affine Toda field theories. As an application, we calculate the leading term in the short and long distance predictions of the two-point correlation functions in the massive phase of two coupled minimal models. The central cha…
We present a systematic derivation for a general formula for the n-point coupling constant valid for affine Toda theories related to any simple Lie algebra {\bf g}. All n-point couplings with $n \geq 4$ are completely determined in terms of the masses and the three-point couplings. A general fusing rule, formulated in the root space of the Lie algebra, is derived for all n-point couplings.
A classification of (super) $W$ algebras arising from non Abelian Toda and super Toda theories is presented. This classification is based on the $Sl(2)$ or $OSp(1|2)$ sub(super)algebras of the simple Lie (super)algebra underlying the model. This allows to compute the conformal spin content of each $W$ (super)algebra. {\em Based on two lectures given by L. Frappat and E. Ragoucy at the\\ XIX International Colloquium on Group Theoretical Methods in Physics\\ Salamanca (Spain), June 29 - July 4, 1992}
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.
The exact factorisable quantum S-matrices are known for simply laced as well as non-simply laced affine Toda field theories. Non-simply laced theories are obtained from the affine Toda theories based on simply laced algebras by folding the corresponding Dynkin diagrams. The same process, called classical `reduction', provides solutions of a non-simply laced theory from the classical solutions with special symmetries of the parent simply laced theory. In the present note we shall elevate the idea of folding and classical reduction to the quantum level. To support our views we have made some int…
NON-ABELIAN TODA THEORIES are shown to provide EXACTLY SOLVABLE conformal systems in the presence of a BLACK HOLE which may be regarded as describing a string propagating in target space with a black-hole metric. These theories are associated with non-canonical $\bf Z$-gradations of simple algebras, where the gradation-zero subgroup is non-abelian. They correspond to gauged WZNW models where the gauge group is nilpotent and are thus basically different from the ones currently considered following Witten. The non-abelian Toda potential gives a cosmological term which may be exactly integrated a…
Previous results on form factors for the scaling Ising and the sinh-Gordon models are extended to general $Z_{N}$-Ising and affine $A_{N-1}$-Toda quantum field theories. In particular result for order, disorder parameters and para-fermi fields $σ_{Q}(x), μ_{\tilde{Q}}(x)$ and $ψ_{Q}(x)$ are presented for the $Z_{N}$-model. For the $A_{N-1}$-Toda model all form factors for exponentials of the Toda fields are proposed. The quantum field equation of motion is proved and the mass and wave function renormalization are calculated exactly.
The leading and the subleading Landau singularities in affine Toda field theories are examined in some detail. Formulae describing the subleading simple pole structure of box diagrams are given explicitly. This leads to a new and nontrivial test of the conjectured exact S-matrices for these theories. We show that to the one-loop level the conjectured S-matrices of the $A_n$ Toda family reproduce the correct singularity structure, leading as well as subleading, of the field theoretical amplitudes. The present test has the merit of being independent of the details of the renormalisations.
The affine Toda field theories based on the non simply-laced Lie algebras are discussed. By rewriting the S-matrix formulae found by Delius et al, a universal form for the coupling-constant dependence of these models is obtained, and related to various general properties of the classical couplings. This is illustrated via the S-matrix associated with the dual pair of algebras $f_4^{(1)}$ and $e_6^{(2)}$.
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 $B_2,B_3$ and $G_2$ and the related affine theories.
We quantize $sl_n$ Toda field theories in a periodic lattice. We find the quantum exchange algebra in the diagonal monodromy (Bloch wave) basis in the case of the defining representation. In the $sl_3$ case we extend the analysis also to the second fundamental representation. We clarify, in particular, the relation of Jimbo and Rosso's quantum $R$ matrix with the quantum $R$ matrix in the Bloch wave basis.
We present a definition of the non-abelian generalisations of affine Toda theory related from the outset to vertex operator constructions of the corresponding Kac-Moody algebra $\gh$. Reuslts concerning conjugacy classes of the Weyl group of the finite Lie algebra $\fing$ to embeddings of $A_1$ in $\fing$ are used both to present the theories, and to elucidate their soliton spectrum. We confirm the conjecture of \cite{OSU93} for the soliton specialisation of the Leznov-Saveliev solution. The energy-momentum tensor of such theories is shown to split into a total derivative part and a part depen…
The $(g_2^{(1)}, d_4^{(3)})$\ pair of non simply laced affine Toda theories is studied from the point of view of non perturbative duality. The classical spectrum of each member is composed of two massive scalar particles. The exact S-matrix prediction for the dual behaviour of the coupling dependent mass ratio is found to be in strong agreement with Monte Carlo data.
We derive an explicit, exactly conformally invariant form for the action for the non-abelian Toda field theory. We demonstrate that the conformal invariance conditions, expressed in terms of the $β$-functions of the theory, are satisfied to all orders, and we use our results to obtain a value for the central charge agreeing with previous calculations.
The classical and quantum algebras of a class of conformal NA-Toda models are studied. It is shown that the $SL(2,R)_q$ Poisson brackets algebra generated by certain chiral and antichiral charges of the nonlocal currents and the global U(1) charge appears as an algebra of the symmetries of these models.
The exact quantum $S$-matrices and conserved charges are known for affine Toda field theories(ATFTs). In this note we report on a new type of bi-linear sum rules of conserved quantities derived from these exact $S$ matrices. They exist when there is a multiplicative identity among $S$-matrices of a particular ATFT. Our results are valid for simply laced as well as non-simply laced ATFTs. We also present a few explicit examples.
Boundary conditions compatible with classical integrability are studied both directly, using an approach based on the explicit construction of conserved quantities, and indirectly by first developing a generalisation of the Lax pair idea. The latter approach is closer to the spirit of earlier work by Sklyanin and yields a complete set of conjectures for permissible boundary conditions for any affine Toda field theory.
We note that S-matrix/conserved charge identities in affine Toda field theories of the type recently noted by Khastgir can be put on a more systematic footing. This makes use of a result first found by Ravanini, Tateo and Valleriani for theories based on the simply-laced Lie algebras (A,D and E) which we extend to the nonsimply-laced case. We also present the generalisation to nonsimply-laced cases of the observation - for simply-laced situations - that the conserved charges form components of the eigenvectors of the Cartan matrix.
We study the ultraviolet asymptotics in affine Toda theories. These models are considered as perturbed non-affine Toda theories. We calculate the reflection amplitudes, which relate different exponential fields with the same quantum numbers. Using these amplitudes we derive the quantization condition for the vacuum wave function, describing zero-mode dynamics, and calculate the UV asymptotics of the effective central charge. These asymptotics are in a good agreement with thermodynamic Bethe ansatz results.
In this paper we introduce a unified approach to Toda field theories which allows us to formulate the classes of $A_n$, $B_n$ and $C_n$ models as unique models involving an arbitrary continuous parameter $ν$. For certain values of $ν$, the model describes the standard Toda theories. For other values of $ν$ it defines a class of models that involve infinitely many fields. These models interpolate between the various standard Toda field theories. They are conformally invariant and possess infinitely many conserved higher-spin currents thus making them candidates for a new set of integrable syste…
We study the ultraviolet asymptotics in $A_n$ affine Toda theories with integrable boundary actions. The reflection amplitudes of non-affine Toda theories in the presence of conformal boundary actions have been obtained from the quantum mechanical reflections of the wave functional in the Weyl chamber and used for the quantization conditions and ground-state energies. We compare these results with the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz derived from both the bulk and (conjectured) boundary scattering amplitudes. The two independent approaches match very well and provide the non-perturbative checks of t…
I briefly review the properties of classical affine Toda field theories and indicate how some of this features survive in the quantum theory on-shell. I demonstrate how this knowledge can be extended off-shell, i.e. how to compute correlation functions for completely integrable models via the form factor approach. For the latter I present an axiomatic system and two explicit computation (the Sinh-Gordon theory and the Bullough-Dodd model) which provide a consistent solution of it. (Talk presented at the VII André Swieca Summer School, Campos do Jordão, Brasil, 1993)
We study quantum integrability of affine Toda theories with a line of defect. In particular, we focus on the problem of constructing quantum higher-spin conserved currents in models defined by two A_r^{(1)} Toda theories separated by a non-trivial type-I defect. For a suitable choice of the defect potential these theories are known to be classically integrable, that is they possess an infinite set of higher-spin conserved charges in involution. Studying the corresponding conservation laws at quantum level we discover that anomalies arise, which we compute exactly at all orders in the coupling …
We derive non-abelian Toda field theories (NATFTs) from a 4d Chern-Simons (CS) theory with two order defects by employing a certain asymptotic boundary condition. The 4d CS theory is characterized by a meromorphic 1-form $ω$\,. We adopt $ω$ with two simple poles and no zeros, and each of the order defects is located at each pole. As a result, an anisotropy parameter $β^2$ can be identified with the distance between the two defects. As examples, we can derive the (complex) sine-Gordon model and the Liouville theory.
We derive closed recursion equations for the symmetric polynomials occuring in the form factors of $D_n^{(1)}$ affine Toda field theories. These equations follow from kinematical- and bound state residue equations for the full form factor. We also discuss the equations arising from second and third order forward channel poles of the S-matrix. The highly symmetric case of $D_4^{(1)}$ form factors is treated in detail. We calculate explicitly cases with a few particles involved.
The exact eigenvalues of the infinite set of conserved charges on the multi-particle states in affine Toda theories are determined. This is done by constructing a free field realization of the Zamolodchikov-Faddeev algebra in which the conserved charges are realized as derivative operators. The resulting eigenvalues are renormalization group (RG) invariant, have the correct classical limit and pass checks in first order perturbation theory. For $n=1$ one recovers the (RG invariant form of the) quantum masses of Destri and DeVega.
Some remarks on D-branes and defects in Liouville and Toda field theories
本文分析了广义对角模型中的 Cardy-Lewellen 方程，利用共形场论性质证明其在非有理模型中形式简单，并将其应用于 Liouville 和 Toda 场论，验证了缺陷满足 cluster 方程，推导了所有 $sl(n)$ Toda 场论的方程并推广了边界态形式。
We study the following problem: can a classical $sl_n$ Toda field theory be represented by means of free bosonic oscillators through a Drinfeld--Sokolov construction? We answer affirmatively in the case of a cylindrical space--time and for real hyperbolic solutions of the Toda field equations. We establish in fact a one--to--one correspondence between such solutions and the space of free left and right bosonic oscillators with coincident zero modes. We discuss the same problem for real singular solutions with non hyperbolic monodromy.
We introduce a generalization of $A_{r}$-type Toda theory based on a non-abelian group G, which we call the $(A_{r},G)$-Toda theory, and its affine extensions in terms of gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten actions with deformation terms. In particular, the affine $(A_{1},SU(2))$-Toda theory describes the integrable deformation of the minimal conformal theory for the critical Ising model by the operator $Φ_{(2,1)}$. We derive infinite conserved charges and soliton solutions from the Lax pair of the affine $(A_{1}, SU(2))$-Toda theory. Another type of integrable deformation which accounts for the $Φ_{(3,…
Defects and type D relativistic Toda lattice for some 5d gauge theories
本文通过折叠ADHM构造得到SO瞬子的杨图描述，并证明5d折叠规范理论中的正则单值缺陷对应于D型相对论Toda晶格的定态波函数，从而建立了Bethe规范对应。
It is well-known that the Toda Theories can be obtained by reduction from the Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) model, but it is less known that this WZNW $\rightarrow$ Toda reduction is \lq incomplete'. The reason for this incompleteness being that the Gauss decomposition used to define the Toda fields from the WZNW field is valid locally but not globally over the WZNW group manifold, which implies that actually the reduced system is not just the Toda theory but has much richer structures. In this note we furnish a framework which allows us to study the reduced system globally, and thereby pr…
Generalizations of GL(n) abelian Toda and $\widetilde{GL}(n)$ abelian affine Toda field theories to the noncommutative plane are constructed. Our proposal relies on the noncommutative extension of a zero-curvature condition satisfied by algebra-valued gauge potentials dependent on the fields. This condition can be expressed as noncommutative Leznov-Saveliev equations which make possible to define the noncommutative generalizations as systems of second order differential equations, with an infinite chain of conserved currents. The actions corresponding to these field theories are also provided.…
We calculate normalization factors and reflection amplitudes in the W-invariant 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 statistical systems, like XY, Z_n-Ising and Ashkin-Teller models. The same results are used for the calculation of the asymptotics of cylindrically symmetric solutions of the classical Toda equations which ap…
