高维微分-差分模型的Virasoro对称子代数，多线性变量分离解和局域激发模式

寻找高维可积模型是非线性科学中的重要课题.利用无穷维Virasoro对称子代数［σ(f₁),σ(f₂)］=σ(f′₁f₂-f′₂f₁)和向量场的延拓结构理论，能够得到各种高维模型.选取一些特殊的实现，可以给出具有无穷维Virasoro对称子代数意义下的高维微分可积模型.把该方法推广到微分-差分模型上，构造出具有弱多线性变量分离可解性的(3+1)维类Toda晶格.另外，该模型的一个约化方程为具有多线性变量分离可解性的(2+1)维特殊Toda晶格.连续运用对称约化方法可以得到此特殊Toda晶格的一个(1+1)维约化方程具有多线性变量分离可解性.因为得到的精确解里含有低维任意函数，从而可以构造出丰富地局域激发模式，如dromion解，lump解，环孤子解，呼吸子解，瞬子解，混沌斑图和分形斑图等等. 关键词： Virasoro代数 微分-差分模型 变量分离 局域激发模式     

Fermionic solution of the Andrews-Baxter-Forrester model. I. Unification of TBA and CTM methods

The problem of computing the one-dimensional configuration sums of the ABF model in regime III is mapped onto the problem of evaluating the grandcanonical partition function of a gas of charged particles obeying certain fermionic exclusion rules. We thus obtain a newfermionic method to compute the local height probabilities of the model. Combined with the originalbosonic approach of Andrews, Baxter, and Forrester, we obtain a new proof of (some of) Melzer's polynomial identities. In the infinite limit these identities yield Rogers-Ramanujan type identities for the Virasoro characters _l,1 ^(r–l,r) (q) as conjectured by the Stony Brook group. As a result of our work the corner transfer matrix and thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz approaches to solvable lattice models are unified.     

Pohlmeyer reduction of superstring sigma model

Motivated by a desire to find a useful 2d Lorentz-invariant reformulation of the AdS₅×S⁵ superstring world-sheet theory in terms of physical degrees of freedom we construct the “Pohlmeyer-reduced” version of the corresponding sigma model. The Pohlmeyer reduction procedure involves several steps. Starting with a coset space string sigma model in the conformal gauge and writing the classical equations in terms of currents one can fix the residual conformal diffeomorphism symmetry and kappa-symmetry and introduce a new set of variables (related locally to currents but non-locally to the original string coordinate fields) so that the Virasoro constraints are automatically satisfied. The resulting equations can be obtained from a Lagrangian of a non-Abelian Toda type: a gauged WZW model with an integrable potential coupled also to a set of 2d fermionic fields. A gauge-fixed form of the Pohlmeyer-reduced theory can be found by integrating out the 2d gauge field of the gauged WZW model. The small-fluctuation spectrum near the trivial vacuum contains 8 bosonic and 8 fermionic degrees of freedom with equal mass. We conjecture that the reduced model has world-sheet supersymmetry and is ultraviolet-finite. We show that in the special case of the AdS₂×S² superstring model the reduced theory is indeed supersymmetric: it is equivalent to the N=2 supersymmetric extension of the sine-Gordon model.     

On the Representation Theory of Virasoro Nets

We discuss various aspects of the representation theory of the local nets of von Neumann algebras on the circle associated with positive energy representations of the Virasoro algebra (Virasoro nets). In particular we classify the local extensions of the c=1 Virasoro net for which the restriction of the vacuum representation to the Virasoro subnet is a direct sum of irreducible subrepresentations with finite statistical dimension (local extensions of compact type). Moreover we prove that if the central charge c is in a certain subset of (1, ), including [2, ), and h(c–1)/24, the irreducible representation with lowest weight h of the corresponding Virasoro net has infinite statistical dimension. As a consequence we show that if the central charge c is in the above set and satisfies c25 then the corresponding Virasoro net has no proper local extensions of compact type.Supported in part by the Italian MIUR and GNAMPA-INDAM.     

Higher equations of motion in the N = 1 SUSY Liouville field theory

As in the ordinary bosonic Liouville field theory, in its N = 1 supersymmetric version, an infinite set of operator valued relations, the “higher equations of motions,” hold. The equations are in one to one correspondence with the singular representations of the super Virasoro algebra and enumerated by a pair of natural numbers (m, n). We explicitly demonstrate these equations in the classical case, where the equations of type (1, n) survive and can be interpreted directly as relations for classical fields. The general form of higher equations of motion is established in the quantum case, both for the Neveu-Schwarz and Ramond series. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Poisson-Lie group of pseudodifferential symbols

We introduce a Lie bialgebra structure on the central extension of the Lie algebra of differential operators (with scalar or matrix coefficients) on the line and on the circle. This defines a Poisson-Lie structure on the dual group of pseudodifferential symbols of an arbitrary real (or complex) order. We show that the usual (second) Benney, GL _n -KdV (or GL _n -Adler-Gelfand-Dickey) and KP Poisson structures are naturally realized as restrictions of this Poisson structure to submanifolds of this universal Poisson-Lie group. Moreover, the reduced (=SL _n ) versions of these manifolds (orW _n -algebras in physical terminology) can be viewed as certain subspaces of the quotient of this Poisson-Lie group by the dressing action of the group of functions on the circle (or as a result of a Poisson reduction). Finally we define an infinite set of commuting functions on the Poisson-Lie group that give the standard families of Hamiltonians when restricted to the submanifolds mentioned above. The Poisson structure and Hamiltonians on the whole group interpolate between the Poisson structures and Hamiltonians of Benney, KP and KdV flows. We also discuss the geometrical meaning ofW as a limit of Poisson algebrasW as 0.     

Drinfeld–Sokolov Reduction for Difference Operators and Deformations of -Algebras¶I. The Case of Virasoro Algebra

We propose a q-difference version of the Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction scheme, which gives us q-deformations of the classical -algebras by reduction from Poisson-Lie loop groups. We consider in detail the case of SL ₂ . The nontrivial consistency conditions fix the choice of the classical r-matrix defining the Poisson-Lie structure on the loop group LSL ₂ , and this leads to a new elliptic classical r-matrix. The reduced Poisson algebra coincides with the deformation of the classical Virasoro algebra previously defined in [19]. We also consider a discrete analogue of this Poisson algebra. In the second part [31] the construction is generalized to the case of an arbitrary semisimple Lie algebra. Received: 20 April 1997 / Accepted: 22 July 1997     

A two dimensional Lagrangian model with extended supersymmetry and infinitely many constants of motion

The reduction of the supersymmetric gradedSU(2|1) /S(U ₂×U ₁) -model is discussed. If no extra constraint is imposed, one gets a set of two coupled equations (involving two scalar superfields) which generalizes the supersymmetric sine-Gordon equation. It is shown that these equations, which can be derived by a supersymmetric Lagrangian, reproduce in the bosonic limit the reduced version of theO(4) -model (Pohlmeyer, Lund Regge, Getmanov model). Moreover the associate linear set and an infinite set of local conservation laws for this new supersymmetric model are exhibited. It turns out that, beyond the spinorial charge which generates the supersymmetry transformations, another unexpected spinorial charge is conserved; then the model appears to be invariant underN=2 extended supersymmetry.     

A Covariant Poisson Deformation Quantization with Separation of Variables up to the Third Order

We give a simple formula for the operator C ₃ of the standard deformation quantization with separation of variables on a Kähler manifold M. Unlike C ₁ and C ₂, this operator cannot be expressed in terms of the Kähler–Poisson tensor on M. We modify C ₃ to obtain a covariant deformation quantization with separation of variables up to the third order which is expressed in terms of the Poisson tensor on M and can thus be defined on an arbitrary complex manifold endowed with a Poisson bivector field of type (1,1).     

Interaction of a two level atom with many photons

The interaction of a two level atom with many photons in a continuum of modes is investigated on the base of a Weisskopf-Wigner theory of infinite order. Special emphasis is given to the problem whether a given uncertainty in the number of incident photons has observable effects upon the atom. This refers in particular to the special uncertainty related to the Poisson distribution of photons in a fully coherent state. It is shown that, if at all, the photon number uncertainty can only shift the atomic levels. These shifts are of the order of magnitude of the 2S _1/2–2P _1/2 level separation by Lambschifts. In an approximation in which these level shifts are omitted the photon number uncertainty has no effects upon the atom: The atom interacts simultaneously withall n-photon components of the incident beam, but inindependent interaction processes taking place in orthogonal Hilbert-spaces. Arguments are given to justify the mentioned approximation, a variant of the usual rotating wave approximation. This approximation reduces the Weisskopf-Wigner theory of infinite order to an infinite set of Weisskopf-Wigner theories of finite, lowest order. The latter govern the independent processes mentioned.     

Vertex Operators, Grassmannians, and Hilbert Schemes

We approximate the infinite Grassmannian by finite-dimensional cutoffs, and define a family of fermionic vertex operators as the limit of geometric correspondences on the equivariant cohomology groups, with respect to a one-dimensional torus action. We prove that in the localization basis, these are the well-known fermionic vertex operators on the infinite wedge representation. Furthermore, the boson-fermion correspondence, locality, and intertwining properties with the Virasoro algebra are the limits of relations on the finite-dimensional cutoff spaces, which are true for geometric reasons. We then show that these operators are also, almost by definition, the vertex operators defined by Okounkov and the author in Carlsson and Okounkov ( [math.AG], 2009), on the equivariant cohomology groups of the Hilbert scheme of points on \mathbb C²{\mathbb C^2} , with respect to a special torus action.     

Hamiltonian fluid reductions of electromagnetic drift-kinetic equations for an arbitrary number of moments

We present an infinite family of Hamiltonian electromagnetic fluid models for plasmas, derived from drift-kinetic equations. An infinite hierarchy of fluid equations is obtained from a Hamiltonian drift-kinetic system by taking moments of a generalized distribution function and using Hermite polynomials as weight functions of the velocity coordinate along the magnetic guide field. Each fluid model is then obtained by truncating the hierarchy to a finite number N+1$N+1$ of equations by means of a closure relation. We show that, for any positive N$N$, a linear closure relation between the moment of order N+1$N+1$ and the moment of order N$N$ guarantees that the resulting fluid model possesses a Hamiltonian structure, thus respecting the Hamiltonian character of the parent drift-kinetic model. An orthogonal transformation is identified which maps the fluid moments to a new set of dynamical variables in terms of which the Poisson brackets of the fluid models become a direct sum and which unveils remarkable dynamical properties of the models in the two-dimensional (2D) limit. Indeed, when imposing translational symmetry with respect to the direction of the magnetic guide field, all models belonging to the infinite family can be reformulated as systems of advection equations for Lagrangian invariants transported by incompressible generalized velocities. These are reminiscent of the advection properties of the parent drift-kinetic model in the 2D limit and are related to the Casimirs of the Poisson brackets of the fluid models. The Hamiltonian structure of the generic fluid model belonging to the infinite family is illustrated treating a specific example of a fluid model retaining five moments in the electron dynamics and two in the ion dynamics. We also clarify the connection existing between the fluid models of this infinite family and some fluid models already present in the literature.     

The quantum group structure associated with non-linearly extended Virasoro algebras

Recently, an infinite family of chiral Virasoro vertex operators, whose exchange algebra is given by the universalR-matrix ofSL(2) _q , has been constructed. In the present paper, the case of non-linearly (W-) extended Virasoro symmetries, related to the algebrasA _N,N>1, is considered along the same line. Contrary to the previous case (A ₁) the standardR-matrix ofSL(N+1)q does not come out, and a different solution of Yang and Baxter's equations is derived. The associated quantum group structure is displayed.Unité Propre du Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, associée à l'École Normale Supérieure et à l'Université de Paris-Sud     

The stark ladder and other one-dimensional external field problems

For a certain class of analytic potentialsV(x), matrix elements of the resolvent ofH _F = -d ²/dx ² +Fx +V(x) with entire vectors of the translation group have meromorphic continuations from Imz>0 to the whole complex plane. The poles of these continuations are restricted to a discrete set independent of the analytic vectors chosen. Certain random potentials corresponding to an infinite number of particles distributed on the points of a Poisson set lie in this class with probability one as do a large class of periodic potentials.Supported by NSF Grant MCS 78-00101Supported by NSF Grant MCS 79-02490     

The Riemann Surface of the Chiral Potts Model Free Energy Function

In a recent paper we derived the free energy or partition function of the N-state chiral Potts model by using the infinite lattice inversion relation method, together with a non-obvious extra symmetry. This gave us three recursion relations for the partition function per site T _pq of the infinite lattice. Here we use these recursion relations to obtain the full Riemann surface of T _pq . In terms of the t _p ,t _q variables, it consists of an infinite number of Riemann sheets, each sheet corresponding to a point on a (2N–1)-dimensional lattice (for N>2). The function T _pq is meromorphic on this surface: we obtain the orders of all the zeros and poles. For N odd, we show that these orders are determined by the usual inversion and rotation relations (without the extra symmetry), together with a simple linearity ansatz. For N even, this method does not give the orders uniquely, but leaves only [(N+4)/4] parameters to be determined.     

Modular invariant partition function of the Hubbard model

Summary By making use of the Abelian bosonization procedure, we obtain a Coulomb-gas picture of the continuum limit of the one-dimensional Hubbard model. It is shown clearly that the semi-direct product of two Virasoro algebras (c=1) denotes symmetry of excitations of the Hubbard model. A systematic study of modular invariant partition function for the Hubbard model is presented. Correlation functions are calculated explicitly and the result is in good agreement with those of numerical simulations and Tomonaga-Luttinger model.

A Quantum Mechanical Gauge Model and a Possible Dynamical Solution of the StrongCPProblem

A model describing a quantum mechanical particle on a circle with minimal electromagnetic interaction with a space independent vector potential, and with a potential −M cos(?−θ_M) so that it mimics the massive Schwinger model, is discussed as a prototype of mechanisms and infrared structures which characterize gauge quantum field theories in positive gauges and QCD in particular. The functional integral representation in terms of the field variables which enter in the Lagrangean displays non-standard features, like a complex functional measure (failure of Nelson positivity), a crucial rôle of the boundary conditions, and the decomposition intoθsectors already in finite volume. In the infinite volume limit, one essentially recovers the standard picture whenM=0 (“massless fermions”), but one meets substantial differences forM≠0: for generic boundary conditions, independently of the Lagrangean angle of the topological term, the infinite volume limit selects the sector withθ=θ_Mand provides a natural “dynamical” solution of the strong CP problem. In comparison with previous approaches, the strategy discussed here allows us to exploit the consequences of theθdependence of the free energy density, with a unique minimum atθ=θ_M.     

Thermal States in Conformal QFT. II

We continue the analysis of the set of locally normal KMS states w.r.t. the translation group for a local conformal net of von Neumann algebras on . In the first part we have proved the uniqueness of the KMS state on every completely rational net. In this second part, we exhibit several (non-rational) conformal nets which admit continuously many primary KMS states. We give a complete classification of the KMS states on the U(1)-current net and on the Virasoro net Vir₁ with the central charge c = 1, whilst for the Virasoro net Vir _c with c > 1 we exhibit a (possibly incomplete) list of continuously many primary KMS states. To this end, we provide a variation of the Araki-Haag-Kastler-Takesaki theorem within the locally normal system framework: if there is an inclusion of split nets and is the fixed point of w.r.t. a compact gauge group, then any locally normal, primary KMS state on extends to a locally normal, primary state on , KMS w.r.t. a perturbed translation. Concerning the non-local case, we show that the free Fermi model admits a unique KMS state.
