Abstract: We prove that any gauged WZNW model has a Lax pair representation, and give explicitly the general solution of the classical equations of motion of the SL(2,R)/U(1) theory. We calculate the symplectic structure of this solution by solving a differential equation of the Gelfand-Dikii type with initial state conditions at infinity, and transform the canonical physical fields non-locally onto canonical free fields. The results will, finally, be collected in a local B"acklund transformation. These calculations prepare the theory for an exact canonical quantization.

Review text

The presence of the Lax pair representation for any gauged WZNW model is established. An explicit general solution of the classical equations of motion of the \(SL(2,\mathbb{R})/ U(1)\) theory is given. Its symplectic structure is calculated by solving an initial state problem of a Gelfand-Dikii type equation. On this basis the authors derive a nonlocal canonical free-field transformation of the nonlinear fields of the theory and collect these transformations in a local Bäcklund transformation. The calculations are done for a field-theoretic situation with asymptotic boundary conditions.
