Assembling integrable sigma-models as affine Gaudin models

Abstract

We explain how to obtain new classical integrable field theories by assembling two affine Gaudin models into a single one. We show that the resulting affine Gaudin model depends on a parameter $\gamma$ in such a way that the limit $\gamma \to 0$ corresponds to the decoupling limit. Simple conditions ensuring Lorentz invariance are also presented. A first application of this method for $\sigma$-models leads to the action announced in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 122 (2019) 041601] and which couples an arbitrary number $N$ of principal chiral model fields on the same Lie group, each with a Wess-Zumino term. The affine Gaudin model descriptions of various integrable $\sigma$-models that can be used as elementary building blocks in the assembling construction are then given. This is in particular used in a second application of the method which consists in assembling $N-1$ copies of the principal chiral model each with a Wess-Zumino term and one homogeneous Yang-Baxter deformation of the principal chiral model.
