The two-dimensional quantum lattice Toda model for the affine and simple Lie algebras of the type A is considered. For its known L-operator a correction of the second order in the lattice parameter is found. It is proved that the equation determining a correction of the third order has no solutions.
Using the example of Liouville theory, we show how the separation into left- and rightmoving degrees of freedom of a nonrational conformal field theory can be made explicit in terms of its integrable structure. The key observation is that there exist separate Baxter Q-operators for left- and right-moving degrees of freedom. Combining a study of the analytic properties of the Q-operators with Sklyanin's Separation of Variables Method leads to a complete characterization of the spectrum. Taking the continuum limit allows us in particular to rederive the Liouville reflection amplitude using only the integrable structure.
A certain class of unitary representations of U_q(sl(2,R)) has the property of being simultanenously a representation of U_{tilde{q}}(sl(2,R)) for a particular choice of tilde{q}(q). Faddeev has proposed to unify the quantum groups U_q(sl(2,R)) and U_{tilde{q}}(sl(2,R)) into some enlarged object for which he has coined the name ``modular double''. We study the R-operator, the co-product and the Haar-measure for the modular double of U_q(sl(2,R)) and establish their main properties. In particular it is shown that the Clebsch-Gordan maps constructed in [PT2] diagonalize this R-operator.
