Quantum Inverse Scattering Method and (Super)Conformal Field Theory

In this paper we consider the possibility of application of the quantum inverse scattering method for studying the superconformal field theory and it's integrable perturbations. The classical limit of the considered constructions is based on $\hat{osp}(1|2)$ super-KdV hierarchy. The quantum counterpart of the monodromy matrix corresponding to the linear problem associated with the L-operator is introduced. Using the explicit form of the irreducible representations of $\hat{osp}_q(1|2)$, the ``fusion relations'' for the transfer-matrices (i.e. the traces of the monodromy matrices in different representations) are obtained.Comment: LaTeX2e, 15 pages, Theor.

Group Theoretical Structure and Inverse Scattering Method for super-KdV Equation

Using the group-theoretical approach to the inverse scattering method the supersymmetric Korteweg-de Vries equation is obtained by application of the Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction to osp(1|2) loop superalgebra. The direct and inverse scattering problems are discussed for the corresponding Lax pair.Comment: LaTeX2e, 19 pages, Zapiski Nauchnih Seminarov POMI (Steklov Institute), vol. 291, 185-205, 2002 (in russian); Engl. transl. : Journal of Math.

Non-perturbative quantum time evolution on the light-front

This paper introduces "time-dependent basis light-front quantization", which is a covariant, nonperturbative, and first principles numerical approach to time-dependent problems in quantum field theory. We demonstrate this approach by evaluating photon emission from an electron in a strong, time and space dependent external field. We study the acceleration of the electron in combination with the evolution of the invariant mass of the electron-photon system, in real time and at the amplitude level. Successive excitations of the electron-photon system are evident.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures. To appear in Physics Letters

Nonperturbative Quantum Field Evolution

We introduce a nonperturbative, first-principles approach to time-dependent problems in quantum field theory. In this approach, the time-evolution of quantum field configurations is calculated in real time and at the amplitude level. This method is particularly suitable for treating systems interacting with a time-dependent background field. As a test problem, we apply this approach to QED and study electron acceleration and the associated photon emission in a time- and space-dependent electromagnetic background field.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figues, proceeding of the Lightcone 2013 conference (Skiathos, Greece, May 20-24, 2013
