Quantum line operators from Lax pairs

Abstract

Motivated by the realisation of Yang-Baxter equation of 2d Integrable models in the 4d gauge theory of Costello-Witten-Yamazaki (CWY), we study the embedding of integrable 2d Toda field models inside this construction. This is done by using the Lax formulation of 2d integrable systems and by thinking of the standard Lax pair $L_{\pm }$ in terms of components of CWY gauge connection propagating along particular directions in the gauge bundle. We also use results of the CWY theory to build quantum line operators for 2d Toda models and compute the one loop contribution of two intersecting lines exchanging one gluon. Other features like local symmetries and comments on extension of our method to other 2d integrable models are also discussed. We also comment on\textrm{\ }some basic points that still need a refinement before talking about a fully consistent embedding of Lax pairs into CWY theory.
