Quantum impurity approach to a coupled qubit problem
We consider a system of two qubits at the ends of a finite length 1D cavity.
This problem is mapped onto the double-Kondo model which is also shown to
describe the low energy physics of a finite length quantum wire with resonant
levels at its ends. At the Toulouse point the ground state energy and the
average populations and correlations of the qubits or resonant levels at zero
temperature are computed. These results show that the effective interactions
between the qubits or resonant levels can be used to probe their associated
Kondo length scale.Comment: New version (accepted in Europhysics Letters
A unifying 2d action for integrable σ-models from 4d Chern-Simons theory
In the approach recently proposed by K. Costello and M. Yamazaki, which is
based on a four-dimensional variant of Chern-Simons theory, we derive a simple
and unifying two-dimensional form for the action of many integrable
-models which are known to admit descriptions as affine Gaudin models.
This includes both the Yang-Baxter deformation and the -deformation of
the principal chiral model. We also give an interpretation of Poisson-Lie
-duality in this setting and derive the action of the -model.Comment: 37 page
Integrable coupled sigma-models
A systematic procedure for constructing classical integrable field theories with arbitrarily many free parameters is outlined. It is based on the recent interpretation of integrable field theories as realisations of affine Gaudin models. In this language, one can associate integrable field theories with affine Gaudin models having arbitrarily many sites. We present the result of applying this general procedure to couple together an arbitrary number of principal chiral model fields on the same Lie group, each with a Wess-Zumino term
Assembling integrable sigma-models as affine Gaudin models
International audienceWe explain how to obtain new classical integrable field theories by assembling two affine Gaudin models into a single one. We show that the resulting affine Gaudin model depends on a parameter γ in such a way that the limit γ → 0 corresponds to the decoupling limit. Simple conditions ensuring Lorentz invariance are also presented. A first application of this method for σ-models leads to the action announced in [1] and which couples an arbitrary number N of principal chiral model fields on the same Lie group, each with a Wess-Zumino term. The affine Gaudin model descriptions of various integrable σ-models that can be used as elementary building blocks in the assembling construction are then given. This is in particular used in a second application of the method which consists in assembling N − 1 copies of the principal chiral model each with a Wess-Zumino term and one homogeneous Yang-Baxter deformation of the principal chiral model

Towards a quadratic Poisson algebra for the subtracted classical monodromy of Symmetric Space Sine-Gordon theories
International audienceSymmetric Space Sine-Gordon theories are two-dimensional massive integrable field theories, generalising the Sine-Gordon and Complex Sine-Gordon theories. To study their integrability properties on the real line, it is necessary to introduce a subtracted monodromy matrix. Moreover, since the theories are not ultralocal, a regularisation is required to compute the Poisson algebra for the subtracted monodromy. In this article, we regularise and compute this Poisson algebra for certain configurations, and show that it can both satisfy the Jacobi identity and imply the existence of an infinite number of conserved quantities in involution
