Classical Integrability of the Zigzag Model

The zigzag model is a relativistic $N$-body system arising in the high energy limit of the worldsheet scattering in adjoint two-dimensional QCD. We prove classical Liouville integrability of this model by providing an explicit construction of $N$ charges in involution. Furthermore, we also prove that the system is maximally superintegrable by constructing $N-1$ additional independent charges. All of these charges are piecewise linear functions of coordinates and momenta. The classical time delays are determined algebraically from this integrable structure. The resulting $S$-matrix is the same as in the $N$-particle subsector of a massless $T\bar{T}$ deformed fermion.
