Infinite dimensional Lie algebras acting on chiral fields and the Riemann-Hilbert problem (Q797059)

Using the Riemann-Hilbert problem the paper studies the transformation theory for the reduction problem of the SU(2) chiral field and the SU(n), SO(n) chiral fields. The potential E which is an analogue of the Ernst potential is introduced and the existence of an infinite number of potentials \(\{N^{(m,n)}\}_{m\geq 0,n\geq 1}\) is shown. Using a generating function it is shown that the reduction problem is equivalent to the linear problem for a generating function. The infinite dimensional Lie algebra is found to act infinitesimally on the solutions of the Riemann-Hilbert problem.
