A direct method for solving the generalized sine-Gordon equation II

The generalized sine-Gordon (sG) equation $u_{tx}=(1+\nu\partial_x^2)\sin\,u$ was derived as an integrable generalization of the sG equation. In a previous paper (Matsuno Y 2010 J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. {\bf 43} 105204) which is referred to as I, we developed a systematic method for solving the generalized sG equation with $\nu=-1$. Here, we address the equation with $\nu=1$. By solving the equation analytically, we find that the structure of solutions differs substantially from that of the former equation. In particular, we show that the equation exhibits kink and breather solutions and does not admit multi-valued solutions like loop solitons as obtained in I. We also demonstrate that the equation reduces to the short pulse and sG equations in appropriate scaling limits. The limiting forms of the multisoliton solutions are also presented. Last, we provide a recipe for deriving an infinite number of conservation laws by using a novel B\"acklund transformation connecting solutions of the sG and generalized sG equations.Comment: To appear in J.

Drinfeld Twists and Algebraic Bethe Ansatz of the Supersymmetric t-J Model

We construct the Drinfeld twists (factorizing $F$-matrices) for the supersymmetric t-J model. Working in the basis provided by the $F$-matrix (i.e. the so-called $F$-basis), we obtain completely symmetric representations of the monodromy matrix and the pseudo-particle creation operators of the model. These enable us to resolve the hierarchy of the nested Bethe vectors for the $gl(2|1)$ invariant t-J model.Comment: 23 pages, no figure, Latex file, minor misprints are correcte

Yang--Baxter symmetry in integrable models: new light from the Bethe Ansatz solution

We show how any integrable 2D QFT enjoys the existence of infinitely many non--abelian {\it conserved} charges satisfying a Yang--Baxter symmetry algebra. These charges are generated by quantum monodromy operators and provide a representation of $q-$deformed affine Lie algebras. We review and generalize the work of de Vega, Eichenherr and Maillet on the bootstrap construction of the quantum monodromy operators to the sine--Gordon (or massive Thirring) model, where such operators do not possess a classical analogue. Within the light--cone approach to the mT model, we explicitly compute the eigenvalues of the six--vertex alternating transfer matrix \tau(\l) on a generic physical state, through algebraic Bethe ansatz. In the thermodynamic limit \tau(\l) turns out to be a two--valued periodic function. One determination generates the local abelian charges, including energy and momentum, while the other yields the abelian subalgebra of the (non--local) YB algebra. In particular, the bootstrap results coincide with the ratio between the two determinations of the lattice transfer matrix.Comment: 30 page

Quantization of the N=2 Supersymmetric KdV Hierarchy

We continue the study of the quantization of supersymmetric integrable KdV hierarchies. We consider the N=2 KdV model based on the $sl^{(1)}(2|1)$ affine algebra but with a new algebraic construction for the L-operator, different from the standard Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction. We construct the quantum monodromy matrix satisfying a special version of the reflection equation and show that in the classical limit, this object gives the monodromy matrix of N=2 supersymmetric KdV system. We also show that at both the classical and the quantum levels, the trace of the monodromy matrix (transfer matrix) is invariant under two supersymmetry transformations and the zero mode of the associated U(1) current.Comment: LaTeX2e, 12 page

Multiple integral representation for the trigonometric SOS model with domain wall boundaries

Using the dynamical Yang-Baxter algebra we derive a functional equation for the partition function of the trigonometric SOS model with domain wall boundary conditions. The solution of the equation is given in terms of a multiple contour integral.Comment: 28 pages, v2: comments and references added, typos fixed, to appear in NP

The Hyperbolic Heisenberg and Sigma Models in (1+1)-dimensions

Hyperbolic versions of the integrable (1+1)-dimensional Heisenberg Ferromagnet and sigma models are discussed in the context of topological solutions classifiable by an integer `winding number'. Some explicit solutions are presented and the existence of certain classes of such winding solutions examined.Comment: 13 pages, 1 figure, Latex, personal style file included tensind.sty, Proof in section 3 altered, no changes to conclusion

Factorization of the Universal R-matrix for Uq(sl^2)U_q(\hat{sl}_2)

The factorization of the universal R-matrix corresponding to so called Drinfeld Hopf structure is described on the example of quantum affine algebra $U_q(\hat{sl}_2)$. As a result of factorization procedure we deduce certain differential equations on the factors of the universal ${\cal R}$-matrix, which allow to construct uniquely these factors in the integral form.Comment: 28 pages, LaTeX 2.09 using amssym.def and amssym.te

Resolution of the Nested Hierarchy for Rational sl(n) Models

We construct Drinfel'd twists for the rational sl(n) XXX-model giving rise to a completely symmetric representation of the monodromy matrix. We obtain a polarization free representation of the pseudoparticle creation operators figuring in the construction of the Bethe vectors within the framework of the quantum inverse scattering method. This representation enables us to resolve the hierarchy of the nested Bethe ansatz for the sl(n) invariant rational Heisenberg model. Our results generalize the findings of Maillet and Sanchez de Santos for sl(2) models.Comment: 25 pages, no figure

Quantum integrable multi atom matter-radiation models with and without rotating wave approximation

New integrable multi-atom matter-radiation models with and without rotating wave approximation (RWA) are constructed and exactly solved through algebraic Bethe ansatz. The models with RWA are generated through ancestor model approach in an unified way. The rational case yields the standard type of matter-radiaton models, while the trigonometric case corresponds to their q-deformations. The models without RWA are obtained from the elliptic case at the Gaudin and high spin limit.Comment: 9 pages, no figure, talk presented in int. conf. NEEDS04 (Gallipoli, Italy, July 2004

The Geometrodynamics of Sine-Gordon Solitons

The relationship between N-soliton solutions to the Euclidean sine-Gordon equation and Lorentzian black holes in Jackiw-Teitelboim dilaton gravity is investigated, with emphasis on the important role played by the dilaton in determining the black hole geometry. We show how an N-soliton solution can be used to construct ``sine-Gordon'' coordinates for a black hole of mass M, and construct the transformation to more standard ``Schwarzchild-like'' coordinates. For N=1 and 2, we find explicit closed form solutions to the dilaton equations of motion in soliton coordinates, and find the relationship between the soliton parameters and the black hole mass. Remarkably, the black hole mass is non-negative for arbitrary soliton parameters. In the one-soliton case the coordinates are shown to cover smoothly a region containing the whole interior of the black hole as well as a finite neighbourhood outside the horizon. A Hamiltonian analysis is performed for slicings that approach the soliton coordinates on the interior, and it is shown that there is no boundary contribution from the interior. Finally we speculate on the sine-Gordon solitonic origin of black hole statistical mechanics.Comment: Latex, uses epsf, 30 pages, 6 figures include
