A general construction of affine Non Abelian Toda models in terms of gauged two loop WZNW model is discussed. Its connection to non relativistic models corresponding to constrained KP hierarchies is established in terms of time evolution associated to positive and negative grading of the Lie algebra.
Two new families of T-Dual integrable models of dyonic type are constructed. They represent specific $A_n^{(1)}$ singular Non-Abelian Affine Toda models having U(1) global symmetry. Their 1-soliton spectrum contains both neutral and U(1) charged topological solitons sharing the main properties of 4-dimensional Yang-Mills-Higgs monopoles and dyons. The semiclassical quantization of these solutions as well as the exact counterterms and the coupling constant renormalization are studied.
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.
A general construction of affine Non Abelian (NA) - Toda models in terms of axial and vector gauged two loop WZNW model is discussed. They represent {\it integrable perturbations} of the conformal $σ$-models (with tachyons included) describing (charged) black hole type string backgrounds. We study the {\it off-critical} T-duality between certain families of axial and vector type of integrable models for the case of affine NA- Toda theories with one global U(1) symmetry. In particular we find the Lie algebraic condition defining a subclass of {\it T-selfdual} torsionless NA Toda models and their zero curvature representation.
The graded affine Lie algebras provide a framework in which the dressing method is applied to the generic type of integrable models. The dressing formalism is used to develop a unified approach to various symmetry flows encountered among the integrable hierarchies and to describe related conservation laws.

A class of non abelian affine Toda models is constructed in terms of the axial and vector gauged WZW model. It is shown that the 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. Their zero curvature representation and the classical $r$-matrix are also constructed in order to prove their classical integrability.
We propose a systematic treatment of symmetries of KP integrable systems, including constrained (reduced) KP models ${\sl cKP}_{R,M}$, and their multi-component (matrix) generalizations. Any such integrable hierarchy is shown to possess an additional $({\hat U}(1)\oplus{\hat {SL}}(M))_{+} \oplus ({\hat {SL}}(M+R))_{-}$ loop-algebra symmetry. Also we provide a systematic construction of the full algebra of Virasoro additional symmetries in the case of constrained KP models which requires a nontrivial modification of the known Orlov-Schulman construction for the general unconstrained KP hierarchy. Multi-component KP hierarchies are identified as ordinary (scalar) one-component KP hierarchies supplemented with the Cartan subalgebra of the additional symmetry algebra, which provides the basis of a new method for construction of soliton-like solutions. Davey-Stewartson and $N$-wave resonant systems arise as symmetry flows of ordinary ${\sl cKP}_{R,M}$ hierarchies.
It is shown how the complex sine-Gordon equation arises as a symmetry flow of the AKNS hierarchy. The AKNS hierarchy is extended by the ``negative'' symmetry flows forming the Borel loop algebra. The complex sine-Gordon and the vector Nonlinear Schrodinger equations appear as lowest negative and second positive flows within the extended hierarchy. This is fully analogous to the well-known connection between the sine-Gordon and mKdV equations within the extended mKdV hierarchy. A general formalism for a Toda-like symmetry occupying the ``negative'' sector of sl(N) constrained KP hierarchy and giving rise to the negative Borel sl(N) loop algebra is indicated.
The algebraic conditions that specific gauged G/H-WZW model have to satisfy in order to give rise to Non-Abelian Toda models with singular metric with or without torsion are found. The classical algebras of symmetries corresponding to grade one rank 2 and 3 singular NA-Toda models are derived.
The problem of the classification of the extensions of the Virasoro algebra is discussed. It is shown that all $H$-reduced $\hat{\cal G}_{r}$-current algebras belong to one of the following basic algebraic structures: local quadratic $W$-algebras, rational $U$-algebras, nonlocal $V$-algebras, nonlocal quadratic $WV$-algebras and rational nonlocal $UV$-algebras. The main new features of the quantum $V$-algebras and their heighest weight representations are demonstrated on the example of the quantum $V_{3}^{(1,1)}$-algebra.
We associate to an arbitrary $\mathbb Z$-gradation of the Lie algebra of a Lie group a system of Riccati-type first order differential equations. The particular cases under consideration are the ordinary Riccati and the matrix Riccati equations. The multidimensional extension of these equations is given. The generalisation of the associated Redheffer--Reid differential systems appears in a natural way. The connection between the Toda systems and the Riccati-type equations in lower and higher dimensions is established. Within this context the integrability problem for those equations is studied. As an illustration, some examples of the integrable multidimensional Riccati-type equations related to the maximally nonabelian Toda systems are given.
We investigate a class of conformal Non-Abelian-Toda models representing a noncompact $SL(2,R)/U(1)$ parafermionions (PF) interacting with a specific abelian Toda theories and having a global U(1) symmetry. A systematic derivation of the conserved currents, their algebras and the exact solution of these models is presented. An important property of this class of models is the affine $SL(2,R)_q$ algebra spanned by charges of the chiral and antichiral nonlocal currents and the U(1) charge. The classical (Poisson Brackets) algebras of symmetries $V{G_n}$ of these models appears to be of mixed PF-$W{G_n}$ type. They contain together with the local quadratic terms specific for the $W_n$-algebras the nonlocal terms similar to the ones of the classical PF-algebra. The renormalization of the spins of the nonlocal currents is the main new feature of the quantum $V{A_n}$-algebras. The quantum $V{A_2}$-algebra and its degenerate representations are studied in detail.
The classical and quantum algebras of a class of conformal NA-Toda models are studied. It is shown that the $SL(2,R)_q$ Poisson brackets algebra generated by certain chiral and antichiral charges of the nonlocal currents and the global U(1) charge appears as an algebra of the symmetries of these models.
In this paper we employ the construction of Dirac bracket for the remaining current of $sl(2)_q$ deformed Kac-Moody algebra when constraints similar to those connecting the $sl(2)$-WZW model and the Liouville theory are imposed and show that it satisfy the q-Virasoro algebra proposed by Frenkel and Reshetikhin. The crucial assumption considered in our calculation is the existence of a classical Poisson bracket algebra induced, in a consistent manner by the correspondence principle, mapping the quantum generators into commuting objects of classical nature preserving their algebra.
We construct the vertex operator representation for the Affine Kac-Moody $SL(M+K+1)$ algebra, which is relevant for the construction of the soliton solutions of the constrained KP hierarchies. The oscillators involved in the vertex operator construction are provided by the Heisenberg subalgebras of $SL(M+K+1)$ realized in the unconventional gradations. The well-known limiting cases are the homogeneous Heisenberg subalgebra of $SL(M+1)$ and the principal Heisenberg subalgebra of ${\hat{sl}}(K+1)$. The explicit example of $M=K=1$ is discussed in detail and the corresponding soliton solutions and tau-functions are given.
The algebraic matrix hierarchy approach based on affine Lie $sl (n)$ algebras leads to a variety of 1+1 soliton equations. By varying the rank of the underlying $sl (n)$ algebra as well as its gradation in the affine setting, one encompasses the set of the soliton equations of the constrained KP hierarchy. The soliton solutions are then obtained as elements of the orbits of the dressing transformations constructed in terms of representations of the vertex operators of the affine $sl (n)$ algebras realized in the unconventional gradations. Such soliton solutions exhibit non-trivial dependence on the KdV (odd) time flows and KP (odd and even) time flows which distinguishes them from the conventional structure of the Darboux-Bäcklund Wronskian solutions of the constrained KP hierarchy.
We give the correct prescriptions for the terms involving the inverse of the derivative of the delta function, in the Hamiltonian structures of the AKNS and DNLS systems, in order for the Jacobi identities to hold. We also establish that the sl(2) AKNS and DNLS systems are tri-Hamiltonians and construct two compatible Hamiltonian structures for the sl(3) AKNS system. We also give a derivation of the recursion operator for the sl(n+1) DNLS system.
