Ultralocal Lax connection for para-complex ${\mathbb{Z}}_T$-cosets

Abstract

We consider $\sigma$-models on para-complex ${\mathbb{Z}}_T$-cosets, which are analogues of those on complex homogeneous target spaces considered recently by D. Bykov. For these models, we show the existence of a gauge-invariant Lax connection whose Poisson brackets are ultralocal. Furthermore, its light-cone components commute with one another in the sense of Poisson brackets. This extends a result of O. Brodbeck and M. Zagermann obtained twenty years ago for hermitian symmetric spaces.
