Higher-Dimensional Integrable Scattering

Lewis T. Cole

This paper describes classical soliton scattering in the 2+1d integrable chiral model, related to the Bogomolny monopole equation and self-dual Yang-Mills, as a case study for high…

Integrable models from 4d holomorphic BF theory

Lewis T. Cole, Ben Hoare

We show how to construct 2d field theories with holomorphic integrability from defect setups in 4d holomorphic BF. In a simple example setup, we explicitly construct the 2d theory…

On topological defects in Chern-Simons theory

Alex S. Arvanitakis, Lewis T. Cole, Saskia Demulder +1

We construct a new class of topological surface defects in Chern-Simons theory with non-compact, non-Abelian gauge groups. These defects are characterized by isotropic subalgebras…

Gauging The Diamond: Integrable Coset Models from Twistor Space

Lewis T. Cole, Ryan A. Cullinan, Ben Hoare +2

Recent work has shown that certain integrable and conformal field theories in two dimensions can be given a higher-dimensional origin from holomorphic Chern-Simons in six dimension…

Integrability in Gravity from Chern-Simons Theory

Lewis T. Cole, Peter Weck

This paper presents a new perspective on integrability in theories of gravity. We show how the stationary, axisymmetric sector of General Relativity can be described by the boundar…

Integrable Deformations from Twistor Space

Lewis T. Cole, Ryan A. Cullinan, Ben Hoare +2

Integrable field theories in two dimensions are known to originate as defect theories of 4d Chern-Simons and as symmetry reductions of the 4d anti-self-dual Yang-Mills equations. B…
