Abstract

This project concerns the study of different classical and quantum aspects of the integrable type-II defects in two-dimensional field theories. In particular, at quantum level we are interested in constructing the transmission matrices for the integrable defects allowed in Toda models associated specially with the non-simply laced affine Lie algebras B_n^{(1)} and C_n^{(1)}, by solving a linear intertwining relation between a finite dimensional representation of the relevant Borel subalgebra of the associated quantum groups U_q(G) and a particular infinite dimensional representation expressed in terms of sets of generalized quantum annihilation and creation operators. The main motivation is to describe the scattering of the solitons with the type-II defects within these kind of affine Toda models.On the other hand, the purpose of this project at classical level is to search the possible Lagrangian description of integrable type-II defects within the non-linear Schrodinger model by computing its defect matrix at higher orders in the spectral parameter and also to investigate the ''off-shell'' Hamiltonian approach for the massive Thirring model with integrable type-II defects using the r-matrix formalism or sometimes called classical and quantum inverse scattering methods.
