We propose several different types of construction principles for new classes of Toda field theories based on root systems defined on Lorentzian lattices. In analogy to conformal and affine Toda theories based on root systems of semi-simple Lie algebras, also their Lorentzian extensions come about in conformal and massive variants. We carry out the Painlevé integrability test for the proposed theories, finding in general only one integer valued resonance corresponding to the energy-momentum tensor. Thus most of the Lorentzian Toda field theories are not integrable, as the remaining resonances, that grade the spins of the W-algebras in the semi-simple cases, are either non-integer or complex valued. We analyze in detail the classical mass spectra of several massive variants. Lorentzian Toda field theories may be viewed as perturbed versions of integrable theories equipped with an algebraic framework.

We study a combinatorial approach of producing new root systems from the old ones in the context of affine root systems and their new generalizations. The appearance of this approach in the literature goes back to the outstanding work of Kac in the realization of affine Kac–Moody Lie algebras. In recent years, this approach has been appeared in many other works, including the study of affinization of extended affine Lie algebras and invariant affine reflection algebras.

AbstractLie algebras graded by finite reduced root systems have been classified up to isomorphism. In this paper we describe the derivation algebras of these Lie algebras and determine when they possess invariant bilinear forms. The results which we develop to do this are much more general and apply to Lie algebras that are completely reducible with respect to the adjoint action of a finite-dimensional subalgebra.
