Abstract: (Elsevier)
The existence of a conserved quantum non-local charge is used to prove the factorization equations for the two-body S-matrix pertaining to the following five classical series of non-linear σ models on symmetric spaces: SU( N ) (A). SO( N ) (BD), Sp( N ) (C), SU( N )/SO( N ) (AI) and SU(2 N )/Sp( N ) (AII). For the last two cases, this proof is new. The relevant S -matrices are computed explicitly, and the bound state problem is discussed.
