We investigate the electromagnetic duality properties of an abelian gauge theory on a compact oriented four-manifold by analysing the behaviour of a generalised partition function under modular transformations of the dimensionless coupling constants.

The analog of the principal SO(3) subalgebra of a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra can be defined for any hyperbolic Kac–Moody algebra g(A) associated with a symmetrizable Cartan matrix A, and coincides with the non-compact algebra SO(1,2). We

A systematic treatment is given of the Dirac quantisation condition for electromagnetic fluxes through two-cycles on a four-manifold space-time which can be very complicated topologically, provided only that it is connected, compact, oriented and smo

A class of string backgrounds associated with non semi-simple groups is obtained as a special large level limit of ordinary WZW models. The models have an integer Virasoro central charge and they include the background recently studied by Nappi and W

Affine Toda theories with imaginary couplings associate with any simple Lie algebra ${\bf g}$ generalisations of Sine Gordon theory which are likewise integrable and possess soliton solutions. The solitons are \lq\lq created" by exponentials of quant

Following Leznov and Saveliev, we present the general solution to Toda field theories of conformal, affine or conformal affine type, associated with a simple Lie algebra g. These depend on a free massless field and on a group element. By putting the

Following a prescription of \cite{4} for a solitonic specialization of the general solutions to the (abelian) periodic Toda field theories, we discuss a construction of the soliton solutions for a wide class of two-dimensional completely integrable s

We study the properties of the recently discovered soliton solutions in the A r affine Toda theories at complex coupling. We explain a puzzling aspect, namely that while the fields and stress energy density are complex, the integrated energy and mome
