We propose and investigate a new conformal invariant integrable field theory called bosonic superconformal affine Toda theory. This theory can be viewed either as the affine generalization of the so-called bosonic superconformal Toda theory studied by the authors sometime earlier, or as the generalization to the case of half-integer conformal weights of the conformal affine Toda theory, and can also be obtained from the Hamiltonian reduction of WZNW theory (with an affine WZNW group). The fundamental Poisson stracture is established in terms of the classical r matrix. Then the exchange algebra for the chiral vectors is obtained as well as the reconstruction formula for the classical solutions. The dressing transformations of the fundamental fields are found explicitly, and the Poisson-Lie structure of the dressing group is also constructed with the aid of classical exchange algebras, which turns out to be the semiclassical limit of the quantum affine group. The conformal breaking orbit of the model is also studied, which is called bosonic super loop Toda theory in the context. In addition, the quantum exchange relation and quantum group symmetry are discussed briefly.

Two-dimensional quantum field theory obtained by perturbing the q-state Potts-model CFT (0<q<4) with the energy-density operator Φ(2, 1) is shown to be integrable. The particle content of this QFT is conjectured and the factorizable S matrix is proposed. The limit q→1 is related to the isotropic-percolation problem in 2D and so we make a few predictions about the size distributions of the percolating clusters in the scaling domain.

In this paper we study a class of theories of free particles on the complex plane satisfying a non-Abelian statistics. This kind of particles are generalizations of the anyons and are sometimes called plectons. The peculiarity of these theories is that they are associated to free conformal field theories defined on Riemann surfaces with a discrete and non-Abelian group of authomorphisms Dm. More explicitly, the plectons appear here as “induced vertex operators” that simulate, on the complex plane, the nontrivial topology of the Riemann surface. In order to express the local exchange algebra of the particles, one is led to introduce an R matrix satisfying a multiparameter generalization of the usual Yang-Baxter equations. It is interesting that analogous generalizations have already been investigated in connection with integrable models, in which the spectral parameter takes its values on a Riemann surface that is in many respects similar to the Riemann surfaces we are studying here. The explicit form of the R matrices mentioned above can be also used to define a multiparameter version of the quantum complex hyperplane.

In the context of integrable field theory with boundary, the integrable nonlinear sigma models in two dimensions, for example the O(N), the principal chiral, the CPN−1 and the complex Grassmannian sigma models, are discussed on a half plane. In contrast to the well-known cases of sine-Gordon, nonlinear Schrödinger and affine Toda field theories, these nonlinear sigma models in two dimensions are not classically integrable if restricted on a half plane. It is shown that the infinite set of nonlocal charges characterizing the integrability on the whole plane is not conserved for the free (Neumann) boundary condition. If we require that these nonlocal charges be conserved, then the solutions become trivial.

We study the boundary S matrix for the reflection of bound states of the two-dimensional sine-Gordon integrable field theory in the presence of a boundary.
