• Abstract: We provide further evidence for Smilga's conjecture that higher charges of integrable systems are suitable candidates for higher derivative theories that possess benign ghost sectors in their parameter space. As concrete examples we study the properties of the classical phase spaces for a number of affine Toda lattices theories related to different types of Kac-Moody algebras. We identify several types of scenarios for theories with higher charge Hamiltonians: some that possess oscillatory, divergent, benign oscillatory and benign divergent behaviour when ghost sectors are present in the quantum theory. No divergent behaviour was observed for which the trajectories reach a singularity in finite time. For theories based on particular representations for the Lie algebraic roots we found an extreme sensitivity towards the initial conditions governed by the Poisson bracket relations between the centre-of-mass coordinate and the charges.

  We identify two different classes: the near edge physics of sparse'' and the near edge of dense'' chaotic systems. The distinction lies in the ratio between the number of a system's random parameters and its Hilbert space dimension. While the two families share identical spectral correlations at energy scales comparable to the level spacing, the density of states and its fluctuations near the edge are different.

  We make a conceptual overview of an approach to the initial-value problem in canonical gauge theories. We stress how the first-class phase-space constraints may be relaxed if we interpret them as fixing the values of new degrees of freedom.

  We provide a comprehensive theory about the existence of principal axes of the EPR tensors. Both g- and a-tensors have two sets of principal axes -- one in the real and one in the fictitious spin space. We present arguments based on the group theory why only eigenvalues of the G-tensor, $mbG = mbgmbg!mathsfT$, and the sign of the determinant of the g-tensor are observable quantities.

  We study the phenomenon of transmission across the singularity that separates the two half-cylinders. All the local realisations of the free (Laplace-Beltrami) quantum Hamiltonian are examined as non-equivalent protocols of transmission/reflection. This allows to comprehend the distinguished status of the so-called bridging' transmission protocol previously identified in the literature.
