The sine-Gordon model with integrable defects revisited
Application of our algebraic approach to Liouville integrable defects is
proposed for the sine-Gordon model. Integrability of the model is ensured by
the underlying classical r-matrix algebra. The first local integrals of motion
are identified together with the corresponding Lax pairs. Continuity conditions
imposed on the time components of the entailed Lax pairs give rise to the
sewing conditions on the defect point consistent with Liouville integrability.Comment: 24 pages Latex. Minor modifications, added comment
Free Field Realization of Vertex Operators for Level Two Modules of
Free field relization of vertex operators for lvel two modules of
is shown through the free field relization of the modules
given by Idzumi in Ref.[4,5]. We constructed types I and II vertex operators
when the spin of the addociated evaluation modules is 1/2 and typ II's for the
spin 1.Comment: 15 pages, to appear in J.Phys.A:Math and Genera
Interplay between Zamolodchikov-Faddeev and Reflection-Transmission algebras
We show that a suitable coset algebra, constructed in terms of an extension
of the Zamolodchikov-Faddeev algebra, is homomorphic to the
Reflection-Transmission algebra, as it appears in the study of integrable
systems with impurity.Comment: 8 pages; a misprint in eq. (2.14) and (2.15) has been correcte
Form factors of boundary fields for A(2)-affine Toda field theory
In this paper we carry out the boundary form factor program for the
A(2)-affine Toda field theory at the self-dual point. The latter is an
integrable model consisting of a pair of particles which are conjugated to each
other and possessing two bound states resulting from the scattering processes 1
+1 -> 2 and 2+2-> 1. We obtain solutions up to four particle form factors for
two families of fields which can be identified with spinless and spin-1 fields
of the bulk theory. Previously known as well as new bulk form factor solutions
are obtained as a particular limit of ours. Minimal solutions of the boundary
form factor equations for all A(n)-affine Toda field theories are given, which
will serve as starting point for a generalisation of our results to higher rank
algebras.Comment: 24 pages LaTeX, 1 figur
Dyons in N=4 Supersymmetric Theories and Three-Pronged Strings
We construct and explore BPS states that preserve 1/4 of supersymmetry in N=4
Yang-Mills theories. Such states are also realized as three-pronged strings
ending on D3-branes. We correct the electric part of the BPS equation and
relate its solutions to the unbroken abelian gauge group generators. Generic
1/4-BPS solitons are not spherically symmetric, but consist of two or more
dyonic components held apart by a delicate balance between static
electromagnetic force and scalar Higgs force. The instability previously found
in three-pronged string configurations is due to excessive repulsion by one of
these static forces. We also present an alternate construction of these 1/4-BPS
states from quantum excitations around a magnetic monopole, and build up the
supermultiplet for arbitrary (quantized) electric charge. The degeneracy and
the highest spin of the supermultiplet increase linearly with a relative
electric charge. We conclude with comments.Comment: 33 pages, two figures, LaTex, a footnote added, the figure caption of

Supersymmetric WZW Model on Full and Half Plane
We study classical integrability of the supersymmetric U(N) model
with the Wess-Zumino-Witten term on full and half plane. We demonstrate the
existence of nonlocal conserved currents of the model and derive general
recursion relations for the infinite number of the corresponding charges in a
superfield framework. The explicit form of the first few supersymmetric charges
are constructed. We show that the considered model is integrable on full plane
as a concequence of the conservation of the supersymmetric charges. Also, we
study the model on half plane with free boundary, and examine the conservation
of the supersymmetric charges on half plane and find that they are conserved as
a result of the equations of motion and the free boundary condition. As a
result, the model on half plane with free boundary is integrable. Finally, we
conclude the paper and some features and comments are presented.Comment: 12 pages. submitted to IJMP
Liouville integrable defects: the non-linear Schrodinger paradigm
A systematic approach to Liouville integrable defects is proposed, based on
an underlying Poisson algebraic structure. The non-linear Schrodinger model in
the presence of a single particle-like defect is investigated through this
algebraic approach. Local integrals of motions are constructed as well as the
time components of the corresponding Lax pairs. Continuity conditions imposed
upon the time components of the Lax pair to all orders give rise to sewing
conditions, which turn out to be compatible with the hierarchy of charges in
involution. Coincidence of our results with the continuum limit of the discrete
expressions obtained in earlier works further confirms our approach.Comment: 22 pages, Latex. Minor misprints correcte
Boundary form factors of the sinh-Gordon model with Dirichlet boundary conditions at the self-dual point
In this manuscript we present a detailed investigation of the form factors of
boundary fields of the sinh-Gordon model with a particular type of Dirichlet
boundary condition, corresponding to zero value of the sinh-Gordon field at the
boundary, at the self-dual point. We follow for this the boundary form factor
program recently proposed by Z. Bajnok, L. Palla and G. Takaks in
hep-th/0603171, extending the analysis of the boundary sinh-Gordon model
initiated there. The main result of the paper is a conjecture for the structure
of all n-particle form factors of two particular boundary operators in terms of
elementary symmetric polynomials in certain functions of the rapidity
variables. In addition, form factors of boundary "descendant" fields have been
constructedComment: 14 pages LaTex. Version to appear in J. Phys.
A multisymplectic approach to defects in integrable classical field theory
We introduce the concept of multisymplectic formalism, familiar in covariant field theory, for the study of integrable defects in 1+1 classical field theory. The main idea is the coexistence of two Poisson brackets, one for each spacetime coordinate. The Poisson bracket corresponding to the time coordinate is the usual one describing the time evolution of the system. Taking the nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS) equation as an example, we introduce the new bracket associated to the space coordinate. We show that, in the absence of any defect, the two brackets yield completely equivalent Hamiltonian descriptions of the model. However, in the presence of a defect described by a frozen B\"acklund transformation, the advantage of using the new bracket becomes evident. It allows us to reinterpret the defect conditions as canonical transformations. As a consequence, we are also able to implement the method of the classical r matrix and to prove Liouville integrability of the system with such a defect. The use of the new Poisson bracket completely bypasses all the known problems associated with the presence of a defect in the discussion of Liouville integrability. A by-product of the approach is the reinterpretation of the defect Lagrangian used in the Lagrangian description of integrable defects as the generating function of the canonical transformation representing the defect conditions
