The Hamiltonian Structure of Soliton Equations and Deformed W-Algebras

The Poisson bracket algebra corresponding to the second Hamiltonian structure of a large class of generalized KdV and mKdV integrable hierarchies is carefully analysed. These algebras are known to have conformal properties, and their relation to $\cal W$-algebras has been previously investigated in some particular cases. The class of equations that is considered includes practically all the generalizations of the Drinfel'd-Sokolov hierarchies constructed in the literature. In particular, it has been recently shown that it includes matrix generalizations of the Gelfand-Dickey and the constrained KP hierarchies. Therefore, our results provide a unified description of the relation between the Hamiltonian structure of soliton equations and $\cal W$-algebras, and it comprises almost all the results formerly obtained by other authors. The main result of this paper is an explicit general equation showing that the second Poisson bracket algebra is a deformation of the Dirac bracket algebra corresponding to the $\cal W$-algebras obtained through Hamiltonian reduction.Comment: 41 pages, plain TeX, no figures.

Semi-classical spectrum of the Homogeneous sine-Gordon theories

The semi-classical spectrum of the Homogeneous sine-Gordon theories associated with an arbitrary compact simple Lie group G is obtained and shown to be entirely given by solitons. These theories describe quantum integrable massive perturbations of Gepner's G-parafermions whose classical equations-of-motion are non-abelian affine Toda equations. One-soliton solutions are constructed by embeddings of the SU(2) complex sine-Gordon soliton in the regular SU(2) subgroups of G. The resulting spectrum exhibits both stable and unstable particles, which is a peculiar feature shared with the spectrum of monopoles and dyons in N=2 and N=4 supersymmetric gauge theories.Comment: 28 pages, plain TeX, no figure

PPAR gamma pro12Ala polymorphism and type 2 diabetes: a study in a spanish cohort

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a disease whose occurrence is increasing prevalent in westernized civilizations and is responsible for the proliferation in the morbidity and total mortality of patients with cardiovascular diseases, worldwide. However, the complexity in the treatment and prevention of T2D arises from the intricacy of the many physical and biological factors involved in its etiology. Impaired pathways for insulin signaling have been implicated as one the many factors in the development of T2D Individual peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) have previously exhibited associations with alterations of lipid profiles, fat tissue and T2D and displayed complications derived from high levels of glucose. However, PPARgamma has not yet been associated with the development or developmental pathways of T2D. We performed an observational study a Spanish cohort in order to better understand the association between the SNP PPARgamma polymorphism Pro12Ala in our patients and the incidence of T2D and other cardiovascular complications. We study did not find a statistically significant relationship between the Pro12Ala and T2D development in our cohort, future observations will help us to know the association with vascular disease in patients with T2D

A New and Elementary CP^n Dyonic Magnon

We show that the dressing transformation method produces a new type of dyonic CP^n magnon in terms of which all the other known solutions are either composites or arise as special limits. In particular, this includes the embedding of Dorey's dyonic magnon via an RP^3 subspace of CP^n. We also show how to generate Dorey's dyonic magnon directly in the S^n sigma model via the dressing method without resorting to the isomorphism with the SU(2) principle chiral model when n=3. The new dyon is shown to be either a charged dyon or topological kink of the related symmetric-space sine-Gordon theories associated to CP^n and in this sense is a direct generalization of the soliton of the complex sine-Gordon theory.Comment: 21 pages, JHEP3, typos correcte

Form factors of the homogeneous sine-Gordon models

We provide general determinant formulae for all n-particle form factors related to the trace of the energy momentum tensor and the analogue of the order and disorder operator in the $SU(3)_2$-homogeneous Sine-Gordon model. We employ the form factors related to the trace of the energy momentum tensor in the application of the c-theorem and find perfect agreement with the physical picture recently obtained by means of the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz. For finite resonance parameter we recover the expected WZNW-coset central charge and for infinite resonance parameter the theory decouples into two free fermions

S-matrices and quantum group symmetry of k-deformed sigma models

Recently, several kinds of integrable deformations of the string world sheet theory in the gauge/gravity correspondence have been constructed. One class of these, the k deformations associated to the more general q deformations but with q=exp(i pi/k) a root of unity, has been shown to be related to a particular discrete deformation of the principal chiral models and (semi-)symmetric space sigma models involving a gauged WZW model. We conjecture a form for the exact S-matrices of the bosonic integrable field theories of this type. The S-matrices imply that the theories have a hidden infinite dimensional affine quantum group symmetry. We provide some evidence, via quantum inverse scattering techniques, that the theories do indeed possess the finite-dimensional part of this quantum grou

Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz of the Homogeneous Sine-Gordon models

We apply the thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz to investigate the high energy behaviour of a class of scattering matrices which have recently been proposed to describe the Homogeneous sine-Gordon models related to simply laced Lie algebras. A characteristic feature is that some elements of the suggested S-matrices are not parity invariant and contain resonance shifts which allow for the formation of unstable bound states. From the Lagrangian point of view these models may be viewed as integrable perturbations of WZNW-coset models and in our analysis we recover indeed in the deep ultraviolet regime the effective central charge related to these cosets, supporting therefore the S-matrix proposal. For the $SU(3)_k$-model we present a detailed numerical analysis of the scaling function which exhibits the well known staircase pattern for theories involving resonance parameters, indicating the energy scales of stable and unstable particles. We demonstrate that, as a consequence of the interplay between the mass scale and the resonance parameter, the ultraviolet limit of the HSG-model may be viewed alternatively as a massless ultraviolet-infrared-flow between different conformal cosets. For $k=2$ we recover as a subsystem the flow between the tricritical Ising and the Ising model.Comment: 30 pages Latex, two figure
