Abstract
Particular deformations of 2-D conformal field theory lead to integrable massive quantum field theories. These can be characterized by the relativistic scattering data. We propose a general scheme for classifying the elastic nondegenerate S-matrix in (1 + 1) dimensions starting from the possible boot-strap processes and the spins of the conserved currents. Their identification with the S-matrix coming from the Toda field theory is analyzed. We discuss both cases of Toda field theory constructed with the simply-laced Dynkin diagrams and the nonsimply-laced ones. We present the results of the perturbative analysis and their geometrical interpretations.
