We define and study the properties of observables associated to any link in $\Sigma\times {\bf R}$ (where $\Sigma$ is a compact surface) using the combinatorial quantization of hamiltonian Chern-Simons theory. These observables are traces…
We review our work on the relation between integrability and infinite-dimensional algebras. We first consider the question of what sets of commuting charges can be constructed from the current of a \mbox{\sf U}(1) Kac-Moody algebra. It…
We study the topological sector of N=2 sigma-models with H-flux. It has been known for a long time that the target-space geometry of these theories is not Kahler and can be described in terms of a pair of complex structures, which do not…
We construct a Landau-Ginzburg model with the same data and symmetries as a $Z_2\times Z_2$ orbifold that corresponds to a class of realistic free-fermion models. Within the class of interest, we show that this orbifolding connects between…
We formulate sufficient conditions for the strong integrability of dressing cosets. We provide several sigma-model backgrounds solving those conditions, some of them are new and some of them were not so far formulated as the dressing…
In this paper we use the Etingof-Kazhdan quantization of Lie bi-superalgebras to investigate some interesting questions related to Drinfeld-Jimbo type superalgebra associated to a Lie superalgebra of classical type. It has been shown that…
The algebraic structure of the integrable mixed mKdV/sinh-Gordon model is discussed and \textit{}extended to the AKNS/Lund-Regge model and to its corresponding supersymmetric versions. The integrability of the models is guaranteed from the…
The non-linear $\Sigma$-Model minimally coupled with Maxwell theory in $3+1$ dimensions possesses a topologically non-trivial sector characterized by ``lasagna''-like configurations. We demonstrate that, when a specific quantization…
We consider the space of $n$-tuples of pairwise commuting elements in the Lie algebra of $U(m)$. We relate its one-point compactification to the subquotients of certain rank filtrations of connective complex $K$-theory. We also describe the…
We show that the isometries of the manifold of scalars in $N=2$ supergravity in $d=5$ space-time dimensions can be broken by the supergravity interactions. The opposite conclusion holds for the dimensionally reduced $d=4$ theories, where…
The properties of the Das-Popowicz Moyal momentum algebra that we introduce in hep-th/0207242 are reexamined in details and used to discuss some aspects of integrable models and 2d conformal field theories. Among the results presented, we…
We show that the so called $\lambda$ deformed $\sigma$-model as well as the $\eta$ deformed one belong to a class of the ${\cal E}$-models introduced in the context of the Poisson-Lie-T-duality. The $\lambda$ and $\eta$ theories differ…
A general way to construct ladder models with certain Lie algebraic or quantum Lie algebraic symmetries is presented. These symmetric models give rise to series of integrable systems. It is shown that corresponding to these SU(2) symmetric…
We introduce a class of $2d$ sigma models which are parameterized by a function of one variable. In addition to the physical field $g$, these models include an auxiliary field $v_\alpha$ which mediates interactions in a prescribed way. We…
Toda field theories are important integrable systems. They can be regarded as constrained WZNW models, and this viewpoint helps to give their explicit general solutions, especially when a Drinfeld-Sokolov gauge is used. The main objective…
The recent construction of integrable quantum field theories on two-dimensional Minkowski space by operator-algebraic methods is extended to models with a richer particle spectrum, including finitely many massive particle species…
By identifying the moduli space of coupling constants in the SYM description of toroidal compactifications of M(atrix)-Theory, we construct the M(atrix) description of the moduli spaces of Type IIA string theory compactified on T^n.…
Massive integrable field theories in $1+1$ dimensions are defined at the Lagrangian level, whose classical equations of motion are related to the ``non-abelian'' Toda field equations. They can be thought of as generalizations of the…
We construct and study a closed, two-dimensional, quasi-topological (0,2) gauged sigma model with target space a smooth G-manifold, where G is any compact and connected Lie group. When the target space is a flag manifold of simple G, and…
We discuss certain integrable quantum field theories in (1+1)-dimensions consisting of coupled sine/sinh-Gordon theories with N=1 supersymmetry, positive kinetic energy, and bosonic potentials which are bounded from below. We show that…
