We consider a conformally invariant extension of it, and study its integrability properties using a zero curvature condition based on the twisted Kac-Moody algebra A_2^{(2)}. The one and two-soliton solutions as well as the breathers are constructed explicitly . We also consider integrable extensions of the Bullough-Dodd model by the introduction of spinor (matter) fields. The resulting theories are conformally invariant and present local internal symmetries. All the one-soliton solutions, for two examples of those models, are constructed using an hybrid of the dressing and Hirota methods. One model is of particular interest because it presents a confinement mechanism for a given conserved charge inside the solitons.48 pages, 3 eps figures, latexHigh Energy Physics - TheoryMathematical PhysicsExactly Solvable and Integrable SystemsThe Bullough-Dodd model coupled to matter fieldstext
