Discrete Toda Field Equations

Difference-difference systems are suggested corresponding to the Cartan matrices of any simple or affine Lie algebra. In the cases of the algebras $A_N$, $B_N$, $C_N$, $G_2$, $D_3$, $A_1^{(1)}$, $A_2^{(2)}$, $D^{(2)}_N$ these systems are proved to be integrable. For the systems corresponding to the algebras $A_2$, $A_1^{(1)}$, $A_2^{(2)}$ generalized symmetries are found. For the systems $A_2$, $B_2$, $C_2$, $G_2$, $D_3$ complete sets of independent integrals are found. The L...

The affine Toda field theory is studied as a 2+1-dimensional system. The third dimension appears as the discrete space dimension, corresponding to the simple roots in the $A_N$ affine root system, enumerated according to the cyclic order on the $A_N$ affine Dynkin diagram. We show that there exists a natural discretization of the affine Toda theory, where the equations of motion are invariant with respect to permutations of all discrete coordinates. The discrete evolution ope...

A fairly complete list of Toda-like integrable lattice systems, both in the continuous and discrete time, is given. For each system the Newtonian, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations are presented, as well as the 2x2 Lax representation and r-matrix structure. The material is given in the "no comment" style, in particular, all proofs are omitted.

Differential-difference integrable exponential type systems are studied corresponding to the Cartan matrices of semi-simple or affine Lie algebras. For the systems corresponding to the algebras $A_2$, $B_2$, $C_2$, $G_2$ the complete sets of integrals in both directions are found. For the simple Lie algebras of the classical series $A_N$, $B_N$, $C_N$ and affine algebras of series $D^{(2)}_N$ the corresponding systems are supplied with the Lax representation.

Discrete analogs of the finite and affine Toda field equations are found corresponding to the Lie algebras of series $C_N$ and $\tilde{C_N}$. Their Lax pairs are represented.

A consistent set of six integrable discrete and continuous dynamical systems are suggested corresponding to arbitrary affine Lie algebra. The set contains a system of partial differential equations which can be treated as a version of generalized Toda lattice while semi-discrete systems in the set define the Backlund transform for this Toda lattice and the fully discrete representative of the set can be obtained as a superposition of such kind Backlund transforms. Four linear...

The article considers lattices of the two-dimensional Toda type, which can be interpreted as dressing chains for spatially two-dimensional generalizations of equations of the class of nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations. The well-known example of this kind of generalization is the Davey-Stewartson equation. It turns out that the finite-field reductions of these lattices, obtained by imposing cutoff boundary conditions of an appropriate type, are Darboux integrable, i.e., they h...

There are different methods of discretizing integrable systems. We consider semi-discrete analog of two-dimensional Toda lattices associated to the Cartan matrices of simple Lie algebras that was proposed by Habibullin in 2011. This discretization is based on the notion of Darboux integrability. Generalized Toda lattices are known to be Darboux integrable in the continuous case (that is, they admit complete families of characteristic integrals in both directions). We prove th...

It is known that a family of transfer matrix functional equations, the T-system, can be compactly written in terms of the Cartan matrix of a simple Lie algebra. We formally replace this Cartan matrix of a simple Lie algebra with that of an affine Lie algebra, and then we obtain a system of functional equations different from the T-system. It may be viewed as an X_{n}^{(a)} type affine Toda field equation on discrete space time. We present, for A_{n}^{(1)}, B_{n}^{(1)}, C_{n}^...

In a recent paper we constructed an integrable generalization of the Toda law on the square lattice. In this paper we construct other examples of integrable dynamics of Toda-type on the square lattice, as well as on the triangular lattice, as nonlinear symmetries of the discrete Laplace equations on the square and triangular lattices. We also construct the $\tau$ - function formulations and the Darboux-B\"acklund transformations of these novel dynamics.
