We construct infinite sets of local conserved charges for the conformal affine Toda model. The technique involves the abelianization of the two-dimensional gauge potentials satisfying the zero-curvature form of the equations of motion. We find two infinite sets of chiral charges and apart from two lowest spin charges, all the remaining ones do not possess chiral densities. Charges of different chiralities Poisson commute among themselves. We discuss the algebraic properties of these charges and use the fundamental Poisson bracket relation to show that the charges conserved in time are in involution. Connections to other Toda models are established by taking particular limits.

We establish sufficient conditions for the nonlinear stability of incompressible, inviscid, swirling flows using the Arnol’d energy-Casimir method. We derive an axisymmetric Lie-Poisson bracket and work with equations of motion in swirl-function-vortex-density form. The flows and perturbations we consider may have axial variations. The formulation is closely analogous to that of two-dimensional, stratified, Boussinesq flows considered by Abarbanel et al . [ Phil. Trans. R. Soc. Lond. A 318, 349-409 (1986)) and a high-wavenumber cut off is necessary to overcome indefiniteness, as in that case. We give several examples of columnar swirling flows and discuss the relation of our results to linear stability studies of swirling flows.

This paper describes steady two-dimensional disturbances forced on the interface of a two-layer fluid by flow over an isolated obstacle. The oncoming flow speed is close to the linear longwave speed and the layer densities, layer depths and obstacle height are chosen so that the equations of motion reduce to the forced two-dimensional Korteweg–de Vries equation with cubic nonlinearity, i.e. the forced extended Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation. The distinctive feature noted here is the appearance in the far lee-wave wake behind obstacles in subcritical flow of a ‘table-top’ wave extending almost one-dimensionally for many obstacles widths across the flow. Numerical integrations show that the most important parameter determining whether this wave appears is the departure from criticality, with the wave appearing in slightly subcritical flows but being destroyed by two-dimensional effects behind even quite long ridges in even moderately subcritical flow. The wave appears after the flow has passed through a transition from subcritical to supercritical over the obstacle and its leading and trailing edges resemble dissipationless leaps standing in supercritical flow. Two-dimensional steady supercritical flows are related to one-dimensional unsteady flows with time in the unsteady flow associated with a slow cross-stream variable in the two-dimensional flows. Thus the wide cross-stream extent of the table-top wave appears to derive from the combination of its occurrence in a supercritical region embedded in the subcritical flow and the propagation without change of form of table-top waves in one-dimensional unsteady flow. The table-top wave here is associated with a resonant steepening of the transition above the obstacle and a consequent twelve-fold increase in drag. Remarkably, the table-top wave is generated equally strongly and extends laterally equally as far behind an axisymmetric obstacle as behind a ridge and so leads to subcritical flows differing significantly from linear predictions.

We find the relationship between the Jackiw-Teitelboim model of two-dimensional gravity and the SL (2, R) induced gravity. These are shown to be related to a two-dimensional gauge theory obtained by dimensionally reducing the Chern-Simons action of the 2+1 dimensional gravity. We present an explicit solution to the equations of motion of the auxiliary field of the Jackiw-Teitelboim model in the light-cone gauge. A renormalization of the cosmological constant is also given.

In this review, we consider first-order gravity in four dimensions. In particular, we focus our attention in formulations where the fundamental variables are a tetrad [Formula: see text] and a [Formula: see text] connection [Formula: see text]. We study the most general action principle compatible with diffeomorphism invariance. This implies, in particular, considering besides the standard Einstein–Hilbert–Palatini term, other terms that either do not change the equations of motion, or are topological in nature. Having a well defined action principle sometimes involves the need for additional boundary terms, whose detailed form may depend on the particular boundary conditions at hand. In this work, we consider spacetimes that include a boundary at infinity, satisfying asymptotically flat boundary conditions and/or an internal boundary satisfying isolated horizons boundary conditions. We focus on the covariant Hamiltonian formalism where the phase space [Formula: see text] is given by solutions to the equations of motion. For each of the possible terms contributing to the action, we consider the well-posedness of the action, its finiteness, the contribution to the symplectic structure, and the Hamiltonian and Noether charges. For the chosen boundary conditions, standard boundary terms warrant a well posed theory. Furthermore, the boundary and topological terms do not contribute to the symplectic structure, nor the Hamiltonian conserved charges. The Noether conserved charges, on the other hand, do depend on such additional terms. The aim of this manuscript is to present a comprehensive and self-contained treatment of the subject, so the style is somewhat pedagogical. Furthermore, along the way, we point out and clarify some issues that have not been clearly understood in the literature.

One of the main topics in the modern String Theory are the AdS/CFT dualities. Proving such conjectures is extremely difficult since the gauge and string theory perturbative regimes do not overlap. In this perspective, the discovery of infinitely many conserved charges, that is, the integrability, in the planar AdS/CFT has allowed us to reach immense progresses in understanding and confirming the duality. We review the fundamental concepts and properties of integrability in two-dimensionalσ-models and in the AdS/CFT context. The first part is focused on theAdS5/CFT4duality, especially the classical and quantum integrability of the type IIB superstring onAdS5×S5which is discussed in both pure spinor and Green-Schwarz formulations. The second part is dedicated to theAdS4/CFT3duality with particular attention to the type IIA superstring onAdS4×ℂP3and its integrability. This review is based on the author's PhD thesis discussed at Uppsala University the 21st September 2009.

We develop Fourier analysis over hyperbolic algebra (the two-dimensional commutative algebra with the basis e1 = 1, e2 = j, where j2 = 1). We demonstrated that classical mechanics has, besides the well-known quantum deformation over complex numbers, another deformation — so-called hyperbolic quantum mechanics. The classical Poisson bracket can be obtained as the limit h → 0 not only of the ordinary Moyal bracket, but also a hyperbolic analogue of the Moyal bracket.

This is a two-part course about the integrability of two-dimensional non-linear sigma models (2D NLSM). In the first part general aspects of classical integrability are discussed, based on the O(3) and O(4) sigma-models and the field theories related to them. The second part is devoted to the quantum 2D NLSM. Among the topics considered are: basic facts of conformal field theory, zero-curvature representations, integrals of motion, one-loop renormalizability of 2D NLSM, integrable structures in the so-called cigar and sausage models, and their RG flows. The text contains a large number of exercises of varying levels of difficulty.

In this contribution, we consider sequences of orthogonal polynomials associated with a perturbation of some classical weights consisting of the introduction of a parameter t, and deduce some algebraic properties related to their zeros, such as their equations of motion with respect to t. These sequences are later used to explicitly construct families of polynomials that are stable for all values of t, i.e., robust stability on these families is guaranteed. Some illustrative examples are presented.
