Generalized Toda Theories from WZNW Reduction
Niclas Wyllard
Abstract
We reconsider the, by Brink and Vasiliev, recently proposed generalized Toda field theories using the framework of WZNW→Toda reduction. The reduced theory has a gauge symmetry which can be fixed in various ways. We discuss some different gauge choices. In particular we study the W algebra associated with the generalized model in some different realizations, corresponding to different gauge choices. We also investigate the mapping between the Toda field and a free field and show the relation between the W algebra generators expressed in terms of the two different fields. All results apply also to the case of ordinary Toda theories.
