A method is proposed for deriving and classifying relativistically invariant integrable systems that are sufficiently general to encompass all presently known two-dimensional solvable models, and for the construction of a few new ones. The concept of ''gauge equivalence'' introduced in this paper allows one to clarify the relation between several different models of classical field theory, such as the n-field, the sine-Gordon equation, and the Thirring model. We study the model of the principal chiral field for the group SU (N). It is shown that at N=3 this model exhibits nontrivial interactions: decay, fusion and resonant scattering of solitons. New chiral models are proposed with fields taking values in homogeneous spaces of Lie groups and exhibiting a high degree of symmetry. We prove the integrability of these models when the homogeneous space is a Grassmann manifold.
