Abstract: (Elsevier)
The two-dimensional Toda lattice field theories possess an infinite number of local conserved quantities in involution. These can be used as hamiltonians to define a consistent simultaneous evolution in the infinite number of associated times. Our previous explicit construction of the corresponding zero-curvature gauge potentials is used to extend the zero curvature to the complete infinite-dimensional space defined by these times by means of the Yang-Baxter equations. This result is elevated to the full Kac-Moody algebra with central extension thereby providing a link with the work of the Kyoto school.
