Однако можно задаться следующим вопросом: дефекты какого типа являются разрешенными и каковы должны быть их свойства, если требуется поддерживать интегрируемость в рамках интегрируемой теории поля в двумерном пространстве-времени? Рассмотрены некоторые идеи и вопросы, связанные с этой проблемой, включая примеры интегрируемых дефектов и удивительной особой роли, которую играют закон сохранения энергии-импульса и преобразования Беклунда, а также рассеяние солитонов на дефектах и некоторые интересные эффекты в рамках модели синус-Гордон, дефекты в интегрируемой квантовой теории поля и построение матриц прохождения. В заключение сделаны замечания по поводу алгебраических подходов и направлений будущих исследований.

In this context, it is generally not feasible to adopt a direct approach, via ansätze for the fields to either side of the defect tuned to satisfy the defect sewing conditions. Rather, essential use is made of the fact that the defect sewing conditions themselves are intimately related to Bäcklund transformations in order to set up a strategy to enable the calculation of the field on one side by suitably transforming the field on the other side. The method is implemented using Darboux transformations and illustrated in detail for the sine-Gordon and KdV models. An exception, treatable by both methods, indirect and direct, is provided by the genus 1 solutions. These can be expressed in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions, which satisfy a number of useful identities of relevance to this problem. There are new features to the solutions obtained in the finite-gap context but, in all cases, if a (multi)soliton limit is taken within the finite-gap solutions previously known results are recovered.

It is found that generic collections of Feynman diagrams are responsible for the leading order poles in any of the theories. However, the complexity is such that it has not yet proved possible to analyse all the singularities that occur up to order twelve. Some comments are made on an associated tiling problem and on an interesting connection between the affine Toda couplings and the Clebsch-Gordan decomposition of tensor products .
