Abstract:The scattering of charged solitons in the complex sine-Gordon field theory is
investigated. An exact factorizable S-matrix for the theory is proposed when
the renormalized coupling constant takes the values $\lambda^{2}_{R}=4\pi/k$
for any integer $k>1$: the minimal S-matrix associated with the Lie algebra
$a_{k-1}$. It is shown that the proposed S-matrix reproduces the leading
semiclassical behaviour of all amplitudes in the theory and is the minimal
S-matrix which is consistent with the semiclassical spectru… Show more
We present a semiclassical derivation of the tree-level and 1-loop dressing phases in the massive sector of string theory on AdS 3 × S 3 × T 4 supplemented by R-R and NS-NS 3-form fluxes. In analogy with the AdS 5 ×S 5 case, we use the dressing method to obtain scattering solutions for dyonic giant magnons which allows us to determine the semiclassical bound-state S-matrix and its 1-loop correction. We also find that the 1-loop correction to the dyonic giant magnon energy vanishes. Looking at the relation between the bound-state picture and elementary magnons in terms of the fusion procedure we deduce the elementary dressing phases. In both the semiclassical and 1-loop cases we find agreement with recent proposals from finite-gap equations and unitarity cut methods. Further, we find consistency with the finite-gap picture by determining the resolvent for the dyonic giant magnon from the semiclassical bosonic scattering data.

A class of non abelian affine Toda models arising from the axial gauged two-loop WZW model is presented. Their zero curvature representation is constructed in terms of a graded Kac-Moody algebra. It is shown that the discrete multivacua structure of the potential together with non abelian nature of the zero grade subalgebra allows soliton solutions with non trivial electric and topological charges. The dressing transformation is employed to explicitly construct one and two soliton solutions and their bound states in terms of the tau functions. A discussion of the classical spectra of such solutions and the time delays are given in detail.
“…When α = 0, the above soliton becomes nontopological and carries an extra conserved U(1)-charge [20,21]. In particular, if α = π/2, it simply reduces to the vacuum solution.…”
We study the Lund-Regge equation that governs the motion of strings in a constant background antisymmetric tensor field by using the duality between the Lund-Regge equation and the complex sine-Gordon equation. Similar to the cases of vortex filament configurations in fluid dynamics, we find various exact solitonic string configurations which are the analogue of the Kelvin wave, the Hasimoto soliton and the smoke ring. In particular, using the duality relation, we obtain a completely new type of configuration which corresponds to the breather of the complex sine-Gordon equation.
