A (1) n affine T o da field theori e s with in tegrable b oundary conditi o ns revisite d Anastasia Doik ou 1 Univ ersit y of Bologna, Ph y sics D e partmen t, INFN Section Via Irnerio 46, Bologna 40126, Italy Abstract Generic classically in tegrable bou n dary conditions for th e A (1) n affine T o da field the- ories (A TFT) are in v estigate d. The present analysis rests pr i marily on the und e rlying algebra, defined by the classica l version of th e reflection equation. W e u se as a p roto - t yp e example the first non-trivial mo del of the h ierarch y i.e. the A (1) 2 A TFT, ho w ev er our results ma y b e generalized for any A (1) n ( n > 1). W e assu me here t wo distinct t yp es of b ound ary conditions called some times soliton preserving (SP), and so liton non-preserving (SNP) associated to tw o distinct a lgebras, i.e. the reflection alge bra and the ( q ) t wisted Y angian r esp ectiv ely . The b oun dary local in tegrals of motion are then systematically extracted from the asymp totic expansion of the asso ciated transf er matrix. In the case of SNP b oundary conditions we reco v er previously kno wn r esults. The other type of b ound ary conditions (SP), asso ciated to the reflection algebra, are no v el in th is con text and lead to a different set of conserved quan tities th at dep end on free b ou n dary parameters. It also tur ns out that the num b er of lo cal in tegrals of motions for SP b oundary conditions is ‘d ouble’ compared to those of the S NP case. 1 e-mail: doikou@bo.infn.it, adoikou@upatras .gr 1 In tro d uction In tegrabilit y in the bulk has a dmittedly attracted a great deal of researc h in terest in recen t y ears, how ev e r after the seminal w orks of [1, 2 , 3] particular emphasis has b een giv en on the issue o f incorp orating consisten t b oundary conditions in integrable mo dels. This shed new ligh t into the bulk theories themselv es, and also op ened the path to new mathematical concepts and ph ysical applications. In a more g eneral setting the in v estigation of b oth classi- cal and quantum in tegrable syste ms, particularly those with no n- trivial bo undar y conditions, turns out to b e quite signific ant esp ecially after the recen t adv ances within the AdS/CFT cor- resp ondence [4] uncov ering the imp ortant ro le o f in tegrabilit y [5]. A crucial question within this frame is what w o uld the ph ysical implications b e in b ot h gauge and string theories once non-trivial consisten t b oundary conditions, esp ecially the ones that ma y mo dify the bulk b eha vior, are imp osed t o the asso ciat ed lattice a nd contin uum in tegrable mo dels (for some recen t results see [6 ] and references therein). Therefore studies concerning the existence of consisten t b oundary conditio ns tha t preserv e integrabilit y are of particular significance and timeliness not only fo r the integrable systems themselv es, but for other activ e researc h fields. The cen tral purpose of the presen t article is the inv estigation of classical in tegra ble mo dels when general b oundaries t ha t preserv e in tegrabilit y are implemen ted. Among the v arious classes of integrable mo dels w e c ho ose to consider here a particular class that is the affine T o da field theories (A TFT) [7, 8]. The prototype mo del of this class is the sine-Gordon mo del, whic h has b een extensiv ely studied b oth in the bulk [9] as we ll as in the presence of non- trivial in tegrable b oundary conditions [10 ]. Generic affine T o da field theories with classical in tegrable b o undar y conditions w ere first analyzed more than a decade ago in [11]. A differen t p oin t of view, although regarding t he same class o f b oundary conditions 2 analyzed in [11], is presen ted in [1 2]. Sp ecifically , in [12] the A (1) 2 A TFT with ‘dynamical’ b oundary conditions –that is a quantum mec hanical system is attache d at the b oundary— is in ves tigated. F urther studies regarding the b oundary A TFT at b oth classical a nd quantum level ma y b e also found in v arious articles (see e.g. [13]–[18 ]) . Although the analysis in [11] seems quite exhaustiv e it turns out that in simply-laced A TFT a whole class of consisten t b oundary conditions is absen t. Our main ob jectiv e here is to systematically searc h for all p ossible b oundary conditions in A (1) n A TFT and ev en tually implemen t the missing ones. More prec isely , w e assume tw o distinct t yp es of b oundary conditions called soliton preserving (SP), and soliton non-preserving (SNP) a sso ciated to t w o distinct algebras, i.e. the reflection algebra [2] and the t wisted Y a ng ian [19, 20] resp ectiv ely 2 by ‘same cla ss of bo undary c o nditions’ we mean that in b oth studies [11, 12] a commo n underlying algebra –(classica l) q -twisted Y a ngian– is implicitly a ssumed. Note how ever that the analysis in [11] is classical while in [12] is quantum. 1 (see also relev ant studies in [18, 2 1, 22 , 23, 24, 25]). Dep ending on the c hoice of b oundary conditions certain ph ysical b ehav ior is en tailed. Sp ecifically , in the con text of imaginary A (1) n A TFT the b oundary conditions in tro duced in [11], kno wn as SNP , oblig e a soliton to r eflect to an anti-soliton. In real A (1) n A TFT on the other hand suc h b oundary conditions lead to the reflection of a fundamen tal particle to itself. Recall that f undamen tal particles in real A TFT a re equiv alen t to the lightest b ound states (breathers) of the imaginary theory pro vided that β → iβ ( β is the coupling constan t of the theory). It is how ev er clear that ano t her p ossibilit y arises, that is the implemen ta t ion of certain b oundary conditio ns that lead to the reflection of a soliton t o itself in imagina r y A TFT or to the reflection of a fundamental particle to its conjugat e in real A TFT. These b oundary conditions are known as soliton preserving and hav e b een extensiv ely analyzed in the f rame of inte grable quan tum spin c hains [21, 22], [26]– [3 0]. Not withstanding SP boundary conditions are someho w the ob vious ones in the framew ork of inte grable lattice mo dels they ha v e remained elusiv e in the con text of A (1) n A TFT f or quite a long time. Not e how ev er that in quan tum spin c hains in addition to the well studied SP b oundaries SNP b oundary conditions w ere first in tro duced in [31] a nd further analyzed and generalized in [21, 22, 24, 25]. It is thu s our primary ob jectiv e here to complete the study of in tegrable b oundary conditions in A TFT b y in tro ducing and fully analyzing the nov el (SP) b oundary conditions. The outline of t his article is as fo llo ws: in the next section w e presen t the basic prelimi- nary notions regarding the algebraic setting for classical mo dels on the full line and on the in terv al. In our analysis w e adopt the line of att ac k describ ed in e.g. [32], and in [33, 34] for b oundary systems. More precisely w e introduce the classical Y ang-Baxter equation a nd the underlying algebra f o r the system on t he full line. In the situatio n of a system on the in terv al we distinguish t w o types of b oundary conditions based on the classical vers ions of the reflection algebra (SP) and ( q ) t wisted Y angia n (SNP). Next the A (1) n A TFT on the full line is review ed and an explicit deriv ation of the lo cal in tegrals of mot io n b y solving the auxiliary linear problem [32] is presen ted. In section 3 b eing guided by the same logic a nd adopting Skly anin’s formulation [2] we rederiv e the in tegrals of motion of the A (1) n A TFT with SNP b oundary conditions. Note that analog ous strategy w as f ollo w ed in [33] and [34] for the classical b oundary sine-Gordon and v ector NLS mo dels resp ectiv ely . Our r esults a re in agr eemen t with the ones deduced in [11]. In section 4 w e in tro duce for the first time the no v el b oundary conditions (SP) within the contex t of A TFT. Explicit expressions of t he as- so ciated lo cal in tegrals of motion are deduced from the asymptotic expansion of t he classical transfer matrix. It is w orth stressing that the induced in tegrals of motion dep end on free b oundary parameters a s opp osed to the SNP case. In the la st section a discussion on the en tailed results is presen ted and sev eral directions for future in v estigations are pro p osed. 2 2 Preliminaries The analysis of the A TFT with integrable b oundary conditions will rely on the solutio n of the so called auxiliary linear problem [32]. Before we pro ceed to the study of classical in tegrable mo dels with consisten t b oundary conditions it will b e instructiv e to recall t he ba sic notions in the p erio dic case. Let Ψ b e a solution of the following set of equations ∂ Ψ ∂ x = U ( x, t, λ )Ψ (2.1) ∂ Ψ ∂ t = V ( x, t, λ )Ψ (2.2) with U , V b eing in general n × n matrices with en tries functions of complex v a lued fields, their deriv ativ es, and the sp ectral parameter λ . Compatibility conditio ns of the t w o differential equation ( 2.1), (2 .2) lead to the zero curv ature condition [3 5 , 36, 37] ˙ U − V ′ + h U , V i = 0 . (2.3) The latter equations giv e rise to the corresponding classical eq uations of motion of the system under consideration. The mono dromy matrix from (2 .1) may b e written as: T ( x, y , λ ) = P exp n Z x y U ( x ′ , t, λ ) dx ′ o (2.4) with T ( x, x, λ ) = 1 . The mono dromy matrix satisfies a pparen tly (2.1), and this w ill b e extensiv ely used in the presen t analysis. On the other hand within the Hamiltonian fo r malism the existence of the classical r -matrix, satisfying the classical Y a ng-Baxter equation [3 8, 39 ] h r 12 ( λ 1 − λ 2 ) , r 13 ( λ 1 ) + r 23 ( λ 2 ) i + h r 13 ( λ 1 ) , r 23 ( λ 2 ) i = 0 , (2.5) guaran tees the in tegrabilit y o f the classical system. Indeed, consider the op erator T ( x, y , λ ) satisfying n T 1 ( x, y , t, λ 1 ) , T 2 ( x, y , t, λ 2 ) o = h r 12 ( λ 1 − λ 2 ) , T 1 ( x, y , t, λ 1 ) T 2 ( x, y , t, λ 2 ) i . (2.6) Making use of the latter equation one may readily show for a system in full line: n ln tr { T ( x, y , λ 1 ) } , ln tr { T ( x, y , λ 2 ) } o = 0 (2.7) i.e. the system is integrable, and the c harges in inv olution –lo cal in tegrals of mot ion– ma y b e obtained b y expanding the ob ject ln tr { T ( x, y , λ ) } . The classical r - matrix asso ciated to the A (1) n affine T o da field theory in pa r ticular is given b y 3 [40] r ( λ ) = cosh( λ ) sinh( λ ) n +1 X i =1 e ii ⊗ e ii + 1 sinh( λ ) n +1 X i 6 = j =1 e [ sg n ( i − j ) − ( i − j ) 2 n +1 ] λ e ij ⊗ e j i . (2.8) 3 Notice that the r -matrix employed her e is in fact r t 1 t 2 12 with r 12 being the matrix used e.g. in [28, 23] 3 Note that the classical r -matrix (2.8) is written in the so called principal gra dation as is also in [11, 17]. T o express the r -matrix in the homogeneous gradat ion one implemen ts a simple gauge tra nsformation: r ( h ) ( λ ) = V ( λ ) r ( p ) ( λ ) V ( − λ ) where V ( λ ) = n +1 X j =1 e 2( j − 1) λ n +1 e j j . (2.9) Our main aim a s men tioned up on is to study the A (1) n A TFT on the interv al. F o r this purp ose w e shall employ Skly anin’s form ulation (see also [33, 34] f o r classical mo dels with in tegrable b oundary conditions). It will b e con v enien t for our purp oses here to in tro duce some useful notatio n: ˆ r ab ( λ ) = r ba ( λ ) for SP , ˆ r ab ( λ ) = r t a t b ba ( λ ) for SNP r ∗ ab ( λ ) = r ab ( λ ) for SP , r ∗ ab ( λ ) = r t b ba ( − λ ) for SNP ˆ r ∗ ab ( λ ) = r ba ( λ ) for SP , ˆ r ∗ ab ( λ ) = r t a ab ( − λ ) for SNP T ( λ ) = T − 1 ( − λ ) for SP , ˆ T ( λ ) = T t ( − λ ) for SNP . (2.10) In the situation where non- trivial integrable b o undary conditions are implemen t ed one deriv es t w o types of ‘mono drom y’ mat r ices T , whic h resp ectiv ely represen t the classical v ersions of the r eflection alg ebra R , and the twis ted Y a ngian T written in t he compact f orm b elo w (see e.g. [2, 41]): n T 1 ( λ 1 ) , T 2 ( λ 2 ) o = r 12 ( λ 1 − λ 2 ) T 1 ( λ 1 ) T 2 ( λ 2 ) − T 1 ( λ 1 ) T 2 ( λ 2 ) ˆ r 12 ( λ 1 − λ 2 ) + T 1 ( λ 1 ) ˆ r ∗ 12 ( λ 1 + λ 2 ) T 2 ( λ 2 ) − T 2 ( λ 2 ) r ∗ 12 ( λ 1 + λ 2 ) T 1 ( λ 1 ) . (2.11) The mo dified ‘mo no dromy ’ mat r ices, compatible with t he corresp onding algebras R , T a re giv en b y the following expressions [2, 11]: T ( x, y , t, λ ) = T ( x, y , t, λ ) K − ( λ ) ˆ T ( x, y , t, λ ) (2.12) and the generating function of the inv olutive quan tities is defined as t ( x, y , t, λ ) = tr { K + ( λ ) T ( x, y , t, λ ) } (2.13) where K ± c -n um b er r epresen tations of the algebra R ( T ) satisfying (2.11) for SP and SNP resp ectiv ely , a nd also n K ± 1 ( λ 1 ) , K ± 2 ( λ 2 ) o = 0 . (2.14) Due to (2.11) it can b e sho wn t ha t n t ( x, y , t, λ 1 ) , t ( x, y , t, λ 2 ) o = 0 , λ 1 , λ 2 ∈ C . (2.15) T ec hnical details on the pro o f of classical in tegrabilit y are pro vided e.g. in [2, 1 1, 34 ]. 4 2.1 Classical in tegrals of motion in A TFT W e shall exemplify our in v estigation using the first non-trivial mo del of the A TFT hierarc h y that exhibits b oth t yp es of b oundary conditions, that is the A (1) 2 case. Recall the Lax pair for a generic A (1) n theory [8 ]: V ( x, t, u ) = β 2 ∂ x Φ · H + m 4  u e β 2 Φ · H E + e − β 2 Φ · H − 1 u e − β 2 Φ · H E − e β 2 Φ · H  U ( x, t, u ) = β 2 Π · H + m 4  u e β 2 Φ · H E + e − β 2 Φ · H + 1 u e − β 2 Φ · H E − e β 2 Φ · H  (2.16) Φ , Π are n -v ector fields, with comp onents φ i , π i , i ∈ { 1 , . . . , n } , u = e 2 λ n +1 is the m ulti- plicativ e sp ectral parameter. T o compare with the notation used in [11] w e set m 2 16 = ˜ m 2 8 ( ˜ m denotes the mass in [11]). Note that ev en tually in [11] b oth β , ˜ m are set equal to unit. Also define: E + = n +1 X i =1 E α i , E − = n +1 X i =1 E − α i (2.17) α i are the simple r o ots, H ( n -v ector) and E ± α i are the algebra generator s in the Cartan-W eyl basis corresp o nding to simple ro o t s, and they satisfy the Lie algebra relations: h H , E ± α i i = ± α i E ± α i , h E α i , E − α i i = 2 α 2 i α i · H (2.18) Explicit ex pressions on the simple ro ot s and the Cartan generators are prese n ted in Appendix A. Notice that the Lax pair has the f o llo wing b eha vior: V t ( x, t, − u − 1 ) = V ( x, t, u ) , U t ( x, t, u − 1 ) = U ( x, t, u ) (2.19) where t denotes usual tra nsp o sition. Our ob jectiv e as men tioned is to examine the system with non-trivial b oundaries, th us w e consider represen tations of the asso ciated underlying algebras expressed b y T . T o reco ver the lo cal inte grals of mo t io n of t he considered system w e shall follow the quite standard pro cedure and expand ln t ( u ) in p ow ers of u − 1 . An alternat ive strategy w ould b e to deriv e the mo dified Lax pair, compatible with the b oundary conditions c hosen, and hence the asso ciated equations o f motion (see e.g. [11]). A systematic deriv ation of b oundary Lax pairs independen tly of the c hoice of mo del is discuss ed in [42]. T o expand the op en transfer matrix and derive the lo cal in tegrals of motion w e shall need the expansions of T ( x, y , u ), T ( x, y , u − 1 ) and K ± ( u ). In what follows in the presen t section w e basically introduce the 5 necessary preliminaries fo r suc h a deriv ation, and w e also r epro duce the know n integrals of motion for the A TFT on the full line. Let T ′ ( x, y , u ) = T ( x, y , u − 1 ) and U ′ ( x, u ) = U ( x, u − 1 ). F ollo wing the logic describ ed in [32] for t he sine-Go rdon mo del, w e aim at expressing the part asso ciated to E + , E − in U , U ′ resp ectiv ely independently o f the fields, after applying a suitable gauge transformation. More precisely , consider the follo wing gauge transforma t io n: T ( x, y , u ) = Ω( x ) ˜ T ( x, y , u ) Ω − 1 ( y ) , T ′ ( x, y , u ) = Ω − 1 ( x ) ˜ T ′ ( x, y , u ) Ω( y ) Ω( x ) = e β 2 Φ( x ) · H . (2.20) Then fr om equation (2.1) w e obtain that the gauge transformed op erators U , U ′ can b e expresse d as: ˜ U ( x, t, u ) = Ω − 1 ( x ) U ( x, t, u ) Ω( x ) − Ω − 1 ( x ) d Ω( x ) dx ˜ U ′ ( x, t, u ) = Ω( x ) U ′ ( x, t, u ) Ω − 1 ( x ) − Ω( x ) d Ω − 1 ( x ) dx . (2.21) After implemen ting the gauge transformations the op erators ˜ U , ˜ U ′ tak e the follo wing simple form: ˜ U ( x, t, u ) = β 2 Θ · H + m 4  uE + + 1 u X −  , ˜ U ′ ( x, t, u ) = β 2 ˆ Θ · H + m 4  uE − + 1 u X +  (2.22) where w e define: Θ = Π − ∂ x Φ , ˆ Θ = Π + ∂ x Φ , X − = e − β Φ · H E − e β Φ · H , X + = e β Φ · H E + e − β Φ · H (2.23) ˜ T , ˜ U also satisfy (2.1), and Θ , ˆ Θ are n v ectors with comp onen ts θ i , ˆ θ i resp ectiv ely . Consider no w the fo llo wing ansatz for ˜ T , ˜ T ′ as | u | → ∞ [32] ˜ T ( x, y , u ) = ( I + W ( x, u ) ) ex p[ Z ( x, y , u )] ( I + W ( y , u )) − 1 , ˜ T ′ ( x, y , u ) = ( I + ˆ W ( x, u )) exp[ ˆ Z ( x, y , u ) ] ( I + ˆ W ( y , u )) − 1 , (2.24) where W , ˆ W are off diagonal matrices i.e. W = P i 6 = j W ij E ij , and Z , ˆ Z are purely diagonal Z = P n +1 i =1 Z ii E ii . Also Z ( u ) = ∞ X k = − 1 Z ( k ) u k , W ij = ∞ X k =0 W ( k ) u k . (2.25) Inserting the la t t er expressions (2.25) in (2.1) one ma y iden tify the co efficien ts W ( k ) ij and Z ( k ) ii . Indeed from (2.1) w e obtain t he following fundamen tal relations: d Z dx = ˜ U ( D ) + ( ˜ U ( O ) W ) ( D ) dW dx + W ˜ U ( D ) − ˜ U ( D ) W + W ( ˜ U ( O ) W ) ( D ) − ˜ U ( O ) − ( ˜ U ( O ) W ) ( O ) = 0 (2.26) 6 where the sup erscripts O, D denote off - diagonal a nd diag o nal pa rt respective ly . Similar relations ma y b e obtained for ˆ Z , ˆ W , in this case ˜ U → ˜ U ′ . W e omit writing these equations here fo r brevit y . It will b e useful in what follows to in tro duce some notation: β 2 Θ · H = diag( a, b, c ) , β 2 ˆ Θ · H = diag( ˆ a, ˆ b, ˆ c ) , e β α i · Φ = γ i (2.27) explicit expression o f a, b, c and γ i can b e found in App endix B (B.4); notice that a + b + c = 0. F rom the first of equations (2.26) we ma y deriv e the matrices Z , ˆ Z . Indee d one ma y easily sho w that: d Z (0) dx = m 4    W (1) 21 + ζ a W (1) 32 + ζ b − W (1) 13 + ζ c    = 0 d ˆ Z (0) dx = m 4    − ˆ W (1) 31 + ζ ˆ a ˆ W (1) 12 + ζ ˆ b ˆ W (1) 23 + ζ ˆ c    = 0 (2.28) it is clear that the latter quan tities are zero b ecause of the form of W (1) ij , ˆ W (1) ij see App endix B. Also the higher order Z ( k ) , ˆ Z ( k ) are giv en by : d Z ( k ) dx = m 4    W ( k +1) 21 − γ 3 W ( k − 1) 31 W ( k +1) 32 + γ 1 W ( k − 1) 12 − W ( k +1) 13 + γ 2 W ( k − 1) 23    d ˆ Z ( k ) dx = m 4    − ˆ W ( k +1) 31 + γ 1 ˆ W ( k − 1) 21 ˆ W ( k +1) 12 + γ 2 ˆ W ( k − 1) 32 ˆ W ( k +1) 23 − γ 3 ˆ W ( k − 1) 13    k > 0 . (2.29) The computation of W, ˆ W is essen tial for defining the diagonal elemen ts. First it is imp ortant to discuss the leading contribution of the ab ov e quan tities as | u | → ∞ . T o achie v e this w e shall need the explicit form of Z ( − 1) , ˆ Z ( − 1) : Z ( − 1) ( x, y ) = m ( x − y ) 4    e iπ 3 e − iπ 3 − 1    , ˆ Z ( − 1) ( x, y ) = m ( x − y ) 4    e − iπ 3 e iπ 3 − 1    . (2.30) The information a b o v e will b e extensiv ely used in what follo ws. 7 Before we pro ceed with the analysis o f integrable b oundary conditions in A TFT let us first repro duce the know n lo cal inte grals of motion in the p erio dic case, emerging from the expansion ( | u | → ∞ ) ln [ tr T ( u )] = ln [ tr { (1 + W ( L, u )) e Z ( L, − L,u ) (1 + W ( − L, u )) − 1 } ] . (2.31) Notice that in the case of p erio dic b oundary conditio ns w e put our system in the ‘whole’ line ( x = L, y = − L ), and consider Sch wartz b oundary conditions, i.e. the fields and their deriv ativ es v a nish at the end p o ints ± L . Bearing in mind tha t a s u → −∞ the leading con tribution of e Z , ( e ˆ Z ) (see (2.30)) comes fro m the e Z 33 , ( e ˆ Z 33 ) term, the expression ab ov e b ecomes ln [ tr T ( u → −∞ )] = X k = − 1 Z ( k ) 33 u k . (2.32) T o repro duce the familiar lo cal in tegrals of mot io n we shall need b oth Z ( L, − L, u ) , ˆ Z ( L, − L, u ). Let I 1 = − 12 m β 2 Z (1) 33 ( L, − L, u ) = Z L − L dx  2 X i =1 θ 2 i + m 2 β 2 3 X i =1 e β α i · Φ  , I − 1 = − 12 m β 2 ˆ Z (1) 33 ( L, − L, u ) = Z L − L dx  2 X i =1 ˆ θ 2 i + m 2 β 2 3 X i =1 e β α i · Φ  I 2 = 3 m 2 2 β 3 Z (2) 33 ( L, − L, u ) = Z L − L dx  8 β 3 ( abc − bc ′ ) − m 2 2 β 3 ( γ 1 c + γ 2 a + γ 3 b )  I − 2 = 3 m 2 2 β 3 ˆ Z (2) 33 ( L, − L, u ) = Z L − L dx  8 β 3 (ˆ a ˆ b ˆ c + ˆ b ˆ c ′ ) − m 2 2 β 3 ( γ 1 ˆ c + γ 2 ˆ a + γ 3 ˆ b )  . . . (higher lo cal in tegrals of motion) (2.33) the momen tum and Hamiltonian (and the higher conserv ed quan t it ies) of the A TFT are given b y: P 1 = 1 2 ( I − 1 − I 1 ) = Z L − L dx 2 X i =1  π i φ ′ i − π ′ i φ i  H 1 = 1 2 ( I 1 + I − 1 ) = Z L − L dx  2 X i =1 ( π 2 i + φ ′ 2 i ) + m 2 β 2 3 X i =1 e β α i · Φ  P 2 = 1 2 ( I − 2 − I 2 ) = 1 2 Z L − L dx  8 β 3 (ˆ a ˆ b ˆ c − abc ) + 8 β 3 ( bc ′ + ˆ b ˆ c ′ ) + m 2 2 β 3 ( γ 1 ( c − ˆ c ) + γ 2 ( a − ˆ a ) + γ 3 ( b − ˆ b ))  H 2 = 1 2 ( I 2 + I − 2 ) 8 = 1 2 Z L − L dx  8 β 3 ( abc + ˆ a ˆ b ˆ c ) − 8 β 3 ( bc ′ − ˆ b ˆ c ′ ) − m 2 2 β 3 ( γ 1 ( c + ˆ c ) + γ 2 ( a + ˆ a ) + γ 3 ( b + ˆ b ))  . . . (2.34) Note that the b oundary terms are absen t in the expressions ab ov e, since w e considered Sc h w a rtz type b oundary conditions. Also, in the generic situation, for an y A (1) n , the sum in the momen tum P 1 and the kinetic term of the Hamiltonian H 1 runs fro m 1 to n , whereas the sum in the p oten tial term o f the Hamiltonian runs from 1 to n + 1. 3 SNP b oundary conditi ons W e turn now to our main concern, whic h is the study of in tegrable b oundary conditions in A TFT. W e shall first discuss the b oundary conditions that already hav e b een analyzed in [11]. Ba sed on the underlying algebra, that is the classical analogue of the q -twis ted Y angian w e shall repro duce the previously kno wn results [11], so this section serv es basically as a w arm up exercise. In the subsequen t section we shall analyze in detail the no v el b oundary conditions (SP) asso ciat ed to the classical ve rsion of the reflection a lgebra. T o obtain the relev ant lo cal integrals of motion we shall expand the following ob ject (consider no w x = 0 , y = − L ): ln t ( u ) = ln tr n K + ( u ) T ( u ) K − ( u ) T t ( u − 1 ) o = ln tr n K + ( u ) Ω(0) ˜ T ( u ) Ω − 1 ( − L ) K − ( u ) Ω( − L ) ˜ T t ( u − 1 ) Ω − 1 (0) o (3.1) F or simplicit y here, but without really lo sing generalit y w e consider Sc h wartz b oundary conditions at the b oundary p oint − L and K − ( u ) ∝ I . Also K + ( u ) = K t ( u − 1 ) where K is an y c -n um b er solution of the t wisted Y angian. T aking also in to account the ansatz (2.24) we conclude ln t ( u ) = ln tr n (1 + ˆ W t (0 , u ))Ω − 1 (0) K + ( u ) Ω(0) (1 + W (0 , u )) e Z (0 , − L,u )+ ˆ Z (0 , − L,u ) o . (3.2) Recall from the previous section that as u → −∞ the leading con tribution of e Z , e ˆ Z comes from the e Z 33 , e ˆ Z 33 terms (see (2.30)), hence ln t ( u ) = Z 33 (0 , − L, u ) + ˆ Z 33 (0 , − L, u ) + ln[(1 + ˆ W t (0 , u ))Ω − 1 (0) K + ( u ) Ω(0) (1 + W (0 , u ))] 33 = ∞ X k = − 1 Z ( k ) 33 + ˆ Z ( k ) 33 u k + ∞ X k =0 f k u k . (3.3) 9 T o obtain the explicit for m of the b oundary con tributions to the integrals of motion w e should first review know n results on the solution of the reflection equation for SNP b oundary conditions. The g eneric solution for the A (1) n case in t he principal gradation ar e giv en by [17, 2 2 ]: K ( λ ) = ( g e λ + ¯ g e − λ ) n +1 X i =1 e ii + X i>j f ij e λ − 2 λ n +1 ( i − j ) e ij + X i 1) A TFT will b e also presen ted in a separate publication. F ina lly , a similar exhaustiv e analysis regarding principal c hiral mo dels (partial results ma yb e found in [4 6]) will b e pa r ticularly relev an t esp ecially b earing in mind the ph ysical significance of a sp ecific sup er-symmetric principal chiral mo del within the AdS/CFT corresp ondence [47, 4 8 ].
