The Toda-Weyl mass spectrum

The masses of affine Toda theories are known to correspond to the entries of a Perron-Frobenius eigenvector of the relevant Cartan matrix. The Lagrangian of the theory can be expressed in terms of a suitable eigenvector of a Coxeter element in the Weyl group. We generalize this set-up by formulating Lagrangians based on eigenvectors of arbitrary elements in the Weyl group. Under some technical conditions (that hold for many Weyl group elements), we calculate the classical mass spectrum. In particular, we indicate the relation to the relative geometry of special roots, generalizing the affine Toda mass spectrum description in terms of the Cartan matrix. Related questions of three point coupling and integrability are left to be addressed on a future occasion.

Abstract

The masses of affine Toda theories are known to correspond to the entries of a Perron-Frobenius eigenvector of the relevant Cartan matrix. The Lagrangian of the theory can be expressed in terms of a suitable eigenvector of a Coxeter element in the Weyl group. We generalize this set-up by formulating Lagrangians based on eigenvectors of arbitrary elements in the Weyl group. Under some technical conditions (that hold for many Weyl group elements), we calculate the classical mass spectrum. In particular, we indicate the relation to the relative geometry of special roots, generalizing the affine Toda mass spectrum description in terms of the Cartan matrix. Related questions of three point coupling and integrability are left to be addressed on a future occasion.
