Nonvanishing boundary conditions and dark solitons in the NLS model

We consider non-vanishing boundary conditions (NVBC) for the NLS model [6,7,27] in the context of the hybrid dressing transformation and $τ$-function approach. In order to write the NLS model in a suitable form to deal with non-vanishing boundary conditions it is introduced a new spectral parameter in such a way that the usual NLS parameter will depend on the affine parameter through the so-called Zukowsky function. In the context of the dressing transformation the introduction of the affine parameter avoids the construction of certain Riemann sheets for the usual NLS spectral parameter. In this way one introduces a Lax pair defined for the new spectral parameter and the relevant NVBC NLS $τ$ functions are obtained by the dressing transformation method. We construct the one and two dark-soliton solutions explicitly.

Noncommmutative solitons and kinks in the affine Toda model coupled to matter

Some properties of the non-commutative (NC) versions of the generalized sine-Gordon model (NCGSG) and its dual massive Thirring theory are studied. Our method relies on the NC extension of integrable models and the master lagrangian approach to deal with dual theories. The master lagrangian turns out to be the NC version of the so-called affine Toda model coupled to matter related to the group GL(n), in which the Toda field $g \subset GL(n), (n=2, 3)$. Moreover, as a reduction of GL(3) NCGSG one gets a NC version of the remarkable double sine-Gordon model.

Solitons as baryons and qualitons as constituent quarks in two-dimensional QCD

We study the soliton type solutions arising in two-dimensional quantum chromodynamics (QCD$_{2}$). The so-called generalized sine-Gordon model (GSG) arises as the low-energy effective action of bosonized QCD$_{2}$ for unequal quark mass parameters, and it has been shown that the relevant solitons describe the normal and exotic baryonic spectrum of QCD$_{2}$ [JHEP(03)(2007)(055)]. In the first part of this chapter we classify the soliton and kink type solutions of the sl(3) GSG model. Related to the GSG model we consider the sl(3) affine Toda model coupled to matter fields (Dirac spinors) (ATM). It has been shown the confinement of the spinors inside the solitons and kinks of the GSG model providing an extended hadron model for "quark" confinement [JHEP(01)(2007)(027)]. In the second part of this chapter we discuss the appearance of the constituent quarks in the context of bosonized QCD$_{2}$ and the relevance of the $sl(2)$ ATM model in order to describe the confinement of the color degrees of freedom. We have shown that QCD$_{2}$ has quark soliton solutions if the quark mass is sufficiently large.

Solitons, kinks and extended hadron model based on the generalized sine-Gordon theory

The solitons and kinks of the generalized $sl(3, \IC)$ sine-Gordon (GSG) model are explicitly obtained through the hybrid of the Hirota and dressing methods in which the {\sl tau} functions play an important role. The various properties are investigated, such as the potential vacuum structure, the soliton and kink solutions, and the soliton masses formulae. As a reduced submodel we obtain the double sine-Gordon model. Moreover, we provide the algebraic construction of the $sl(3, \IC)$ affine Toda model coupled to matter (Dirac spinor) (ATM) and through a gauge fixing procedure we obtain the classical version of the generalized $sl(3, \IC)$ sine-Gordon model (cGSG) which completely decouples from the Dirac spinors. In the spinor sector we are left with Dirac fields coupled to cGSG fields. Based on the equivalence between the U(1) vector and topological currents it is shown the confinement of the spinors inside the solitons and kinks of the cGSG model providing an extended hadron model for "quark" confinement.

Metric-scalar gravity with torsion and the measurability of the non-minimal coupling

The "measurability" of the non-minimal coupling is discussed by considering the correction to the Newtonian static potential in the semi-classical approach. The coefficient of the "gravitational Darwin term" (GDT) gets redefined by the non-minimal torsion-scalar couplings. Based on a similar analysis of the GDT in the effective field theory approach to non-minimal scalar we conclude that for reasonable values of the couplings the correction is very small.

Non-commutative solitons and strong-weak duality

Some properties of the non-commutative versions of the sine-Gordon model (NCSG) and the corresponding massive Thirring theories (NCMT) are studied. Our method relies on the NC extension of integrable models and the master Lagrangian approach to deal with dual theories. The master Lagrangians turn out to be the NC versions of the so-called affine Toda model coupled to matter fields (NCATM) associated to the group GL(2), in which the Toda field belongs to certain representations of either $U(1){x} U(1)$ or $U(1)_{C}$ corresponding to the Lechtenfeld et al. (NCSG$_{1}$) or Grisaru-Penati (NCSG$_{2}$) proposals for the NC versions of the sine-Gordon model, respectively. Besides, the relevant NCMT$_{1, 2}$ models are written for two (four) types of Dirac fields corresponding to the Moyal product extension of one (two) copy(ies) of the ordinary massive Thirring model. The NCATM$_{1,2}$ models share the same one-soliton (real Toda field sector of model 2) exact solutions, which are found without expansion in the NC parameter $θ$ for the corresponding Toda and matter fields describing the strong-weak phases, respectively. The correspondence NCSG$_{1}$ $\leftrightarrow$ NCMT$_{1}$ is promising since it is expected to hold on the quantum level.

Nonminimal coupling, equivalence principle and exact Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation

It is shown that the exact Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation for spin-0 particles on spacetimes described by the metrics $ds^2 = V^2 dt^2 - W^2 d {\bf{x}}^2$, where $V=V({\bf{x}})$ and $W=W({\bf{x}})$, only exists if the scalar field is nonminimally coupled to the Ricci scalar field with a coupling constant equal to 1/6. The nonminimal coupling term, in turn, does not violate the equivalence principle. As an application we obtain the nonrelativistic Foldy-Wouthuysen Hamiltonian concerning the general solution to the linearized field equations of higher-derivative gravity for a static pointlike source in the Teyssandier gauge.

Generalized sine-Gordon/massive Thirring models and soliton/particle correspondences

We consider a real Lagrangian off-critical submodel describing the soliton sector of the so-called conformal affine $sl(3)^{(1)}$ Toda model coupled to matter fields (CATM). The theory is treated as a constrained system in the context of Faddeev-Jackiw and the symplectic schemes. We exhibit the parent Lagrangian nature of the model from which generalizations of the sine-Gordon (GSG) or the massive Thirring (GMT) models are derivable. The dual description of the model is further emphasized by providing the relationships between bilinears of GMT spinors and relevant expressions of the GSG fields. In this way we exhibit the strong/weak coupling phases and the (generalized) soliton/particle correspondences of the model. The $sl(n)^{(1)}$ case is also outlined.

The Faddeev-Jackiw Approach and the Conformal Affine sl(2) Toda Model Coupled to Matter Field

The conformal affine sl(2) Toda model coupled to matter field is treated as a constrained system in the context of Faddeev-Jackiw and the (constrained) symplectic schemes. We recover from this theory either, the sine-Gordon or the massive Thirring model, through a process of Hamiltonian reduction, considering the equivalence of the Noether and topological currrents as a constraint and gauge fixing the conformal symmetry.

Relativistic Quantum Thermodynamics of Ideal Gases in 2 Dimensions

In this work we study the behavior of relativistic ideal Bose and Fermi gases in two space dimensions. Making use of polylogarithm functions we derive a closed and unified expression for their densities. It is shown that both type of gases are essentially inequivalent, and only in the non-relativistic limit the spinless and equal mass Bose and Fermi gases are equivalent as known in the literature.
