In this paper we introduce a class of generalized supersymmetric Toda field theories. The theories are labeled by a continuous parameter and have $N=2$ supersymmetry. They include previously known $N=2$ Toda theories as special cases. Using…
It is well-known that the Toda Theories can be obtained by reduction from the Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) model, but it is less known that this WZNW $\rightarrow$ Toda reduction is \lq incomplete'. The reason for this incompleteness…
There is a constrained-WZNW--Toda theory for any simple Lie algebra equipped with an integral gradation. It is explained how the different approaches to these dynamical systems are related by gauge transformations. Combining Gauss…
The structure of Hamiltonian reductions of the Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) theory by first class Kac-Moody constraints is analyzed in detail. Lie algebraic conditions are given for ensuring the presence of exact integrability,…
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…
Some remarks are made about free anomaly groups in gauged WZW models. Considering a quite general action, anomaly cancellation is analyzed. The possibility of gauging left and right sectors independently in some cases is remarked. In…
In the present paper we obtain some integrable generalisations of the Toda system generated by flat connection forms taking values in higher ${\bf Z}$--grading subspaces of a simple Lie algebra, and construct their general solutions. One…
We consider the $C_2$ Toda theory in the reduced WZNW framework. Analysing the classical representation space of the symmetry algebra (which is the corresponding $C_2$ $W$ algebra) we determine its classical highest weight representations.…
Using the reduced WZNW formulation we analyse the classical $W$ orbit content of the space of classical solutions of the $A_2$ Toda theory. We define the quantized Toda field as a periodic primary field of the $W$ algebra satisfying the…
The Lie symmetries of a large class of generalized Toda field theories are studied and used to perform symmetry reduction. Reductions lead to generalized Toda lattices on one hand, to periodic systems on the other. Boundary conditions are…
A new method of gauging of WZNW models is presented, leading to a class of exact string solutions with a target space metric of Minkowskian signature. The corresponding models may be interpreted as $\sigma$-model analogues of the Toda field…
Generalizations of GL(n) abelian Toda and $\widetilde{GL}(n)$ abelian affine Toda field theories to the noncommutative plane are constructed. Our proposal relies on the noncommutative extension of a zero-curvature condition satisfied by…
In this paper we introduce a unified approach to Toda field theories which allows us to formulate the classes of $A_n$, $B_n$ and $C_n$ models as unique models involving an arbitrary continuous parameter $\nu$. For certain values of $\nu $,…
By generalizing the Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction a large class of $W$ algebras can be constructed. We introduce 'finite' versions of these algebras by Poisson reducing Kirillov Poisson structures on simple Lie algebras. A closed and…
The conformal field theory based on the $g/u(1)^d$ coset construction is treated as the WZNW theory for the affine Lie algebra $\hat g$ with the constrained $\hat u(1)^d$ subalgebra.Using a modification of the generalized canonical…
It is shown how to obtain superconformal Toda models as reductions of WZNW theories based on any Lie or super--Lie algebra.
We consider the Hamiltonian reduction of the two-loop Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten model (WZNW) based on an untwisted affine Kac-Moody algebra $\cgh$. The resulting reduced models, called {\em Generalized Non-Abelian Conformal Affine Toda…
We discuss the algebra of general gauge theories that are described by the embedding tensor formalism. We compare the gauge transformations dependent and independent of an invariant action, and argue that the generic transformations lead to…
In the usual procedure for toroidal Kaluza-Klein reduction, all the higher-dimensional fields are taken to be independent of the coordinates on the internal space. It has recently been observed that a generalisation of this procedure is…
We construct a quantum Hamiltonian operator for the Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) model in terms of the Casimir operator. This facilitates the discussion of the reduction of the WZW model to Toda field theory at the quantum level and provides a…
