Description
I shall first review the interpretation of integrable sigma-models as realizations of affine Gaudin models. It will then be explained how to obtain new classical integrable field theories by assembling two affine Gaudin models into a single one. Finally, the application of this method to couple together an arbitrary number of principal chiral model fields on the same Lie group, each with a Wess-Zumino term will be presented.
