Editor's Notes

  1. The work presented in this talk has connections to several very different areas of physics and mathematics. The results originated from a desire to determine the reflection amplitudes of solitons in affine Toda theories off boundaries. In the process of this work we discovered that the symmetry that governs affine Toda theories on the half line are certain coideal subalgebras of quantum affine algebras. The study of these algebras and their representations is a wide new field for mathematical study. The mathematical results so achieved feed back into the physics because they lead to an understanding of the multiplet structure of boundary bound states. This deeper understanding of boundary bound states in an integrable quantum field theory are likely to have wider relevance. The other outcome of the discovery of the quantum group symmetry of the boundary quantum field theories is a practical method for finding solutions to the reflection equation. Solutions to the reflection equation are needed not only to describe reflection amplitudes but also for defining integrable lattice models and quantum spin chains with boundaries. A very similar story as for the solitons in affine Toda theory also arises for the particles in prinipal chiral models. We have discovered that the symmetry algebra preserved by certain boundary conditions are twisted Yangians. However this would be material for a separate talk.
