A folding process is applied to fused a^(1)_r defects to construct defects for the non-simply laced affine Toda field theories of c^(1)_n, d^(2)_n and a^(2)_2n at the classical level. Support for the hypothesis that these defects are…
We restrict affine Toda field theory to the half-line by imposing certain boundary conditions at $x=0$. The resulting theory possesses the same spectrum of solitons and breathers as affine Toda theory on the whole line. The classical…
Some classical and quantum aspects of integrable defects are reviewed with particular emphasis on the behaviour of solitons in the sine-Gordon model.
In this paper we study various aspects of classical solutions to the affine Toda equations on a half-line with integrable boundary conditions. We begin by finding conditions that the theory has a stable vacuum by finding a Bogomolny bound…
This thesis considers massive field theories in 1+1 dimensions known as affine Toda quantum field theories. We first consider the boundary sine-Gordon model, deriving a complete picture of the boundary bound state structure for general…
We find classical solutions to the simply-laced affine Toda equations which satisfy integrable boundary conditions using solitons which are analytically continued from imaginary coupling theories. Both static `vacuum' configurations and the…
In this talk some classical and quantum aspects concerning a special kind of integrable defect - called a jump-defect - will be reviewed. In particular, recent results obtained in an attempt to incorporate this defect in the affine Toda…
Integrable defects in two-dimensional integrable models are purely transmitting thus topological. By fusing them to integrable boundaries new integrable boundary conditions can be generated, and, from the comparison of the two solved…
An exact S-matrix is conjectured for the imaginary coupled d_4(3) affine Toda field theory, using the U_q(g_2(1)) symmetry. It is shown that this S-matrix is consistent with the results for the case of real coupling using the…
I briefly review the properties of classical affine Toda field theories and indicate how some of this features survive in the quantum theory on-shell. I demonstrate how this knowledge can be extended off-shell, i.e. how to compute…
The concept of fusing rules for defects in a^(1)_r affine Toda field theories is introduced in the classical and quantum contexts. This idea is employed in finding a new transmission matrix for the a^(1)_3 theory which obeys the triangle…
The classical sine-Gordon model is a two-dimensional integrable field theory, with particle like solutions the so-called solitons. Using its integrability one can define its quantum version without the process of canonical quantization.…

There has been some debate about the validity of quantum affine Toda field theory at imaginary coupling, owing to the non-unitarity of the action, and consequently of its usefulness as a model of perturbed conformal field theory. Drawing on…
