Thirring Model with Jump Defect

Abstract

The purpose of our work is to extend the formulation of classical affine Toda Models in the presence of jump defects to pure fermionic Thirring model. As a first attempt we construct the Lagrangian of the Grassmanian Thirring model with jump defect (of Backlund type) and present its conserved modified momentum and energy expressions giving a first indication of its integrability.Comment: Poster contribution to the 5th International School on Field Theory and Gravitation, Cuiaba, MT, Brazil, 20-24 Apr 2009. to be published in PoS ISFTG(2009
