Abstract

We study U (1) twist fields in a two-dimensional lattice theory of massive Dirac fermions. Factorized formulas for finite-lattice form factors of these fields are derived using elliptic parametrization of the spectral curve of the model, elliptic determinant identities and theta functional interpolation. We also investigate the thermodynamic and infinite-volume scaling limit, where the corresponding expressions reduce to form factors of the exponential fields of the sine-Gordon model at the free-fermion point.

Correlation functions of twist fields from Ward identities in the massive Dirac theory

Benjamin Doyon, James Silk

We derive non-linear differential equations for correlation functions of U (1) twist fields in the two-dimensional massive Dirac theory. Primary U (1) twist fields correspond to exponential fields in the sine-Gordon model at the free-fermion point, and it is well-known that their vacuum two-point functions are determined by integrable differential equations. We extend part of this result to more general quantum states (pure or mixed) and to certain descendents, showing that some two-point functions are determined by the sinh-Gordon differential equations whenever there is translation and parity invariance, and the density matrix is the exponential of a bilinear expression in fermions. We use methods involving Ward identities associated to the copy-rotation symmetry in a model with two independent, anti-commuting copies. Such methods were used in the context of the thermally perturbed Ising quantum field theory model. We show that they are applicable to the Dirac theory as well, and we suggest that they are likely to have a much wider applicability to free fermion models in general. Finally, we note that our form-factor study of descendents twist fields combined with a CFT analysis provides a new way of evaluating vacuum expectation values of primary U (1) twist fields: by deriving and solving a recursion relation.

Asymptotics of correlation function of twist fields in two-dimensional lattice fermion model

A. I. Bugrij, Vitalij N. Shadura

In two-dimensional lattice fermion model a determinant representation for the two-point correlation function of the twist field in the disorder phase is obtained. This field is defined by twisted boundary conditions for lattice fermion field. The large distance asymptotics of the correlation function is calculated at the critical point and in the scaling region. The result is compared with the vacuum expectation values of exponential fields in the sine-Gordon model conjectured by S.Lukyanov and A.Zamolodchikov.

Ising Correlations and Elliptic Determinants

N. Z. Iorgov, Nikolai Iorgov

Correlation functions of the two-dimensional Ising model on the periodic lattice can be expressed in terms of form factors — matrix elements of the spin operator in the basis of common eigenstates of the transfer matrix and translation operator. Free-fermion structure of the model implies that any multiparticle form factor is given by the pfaffian of a matrix constructed from the two-particle ones. Crossed two-particle form factors can be obtained by inverting a block of the matrix of linear transformation induced on fermions by the spin conjugation. We show that the corresponding matrix is of elliptic Cauchy type and use this observation to solve the inversion problem explicitly. Non-crossed two-particle form factors are then obtained using theta functional interpolation formulas. This gives a new simple proof of the factorized formulas for periodic Ising form factors, conjectured by A. Bugrij and one of the authors.

More general correlation functions of twist fields from Ward identities in the massive Dirac theory

James Silk

Following on from previous work we derive the nonlinear differential equations of more general correlators of U (1) twist fields in two-dimensional massive Dirac theory. Using the conserved charges of the double-copy model equations parametrizing the correlators of twist fields with arbitrary twist parameter are found. This method also gives a parametrization of the correlation functions of general, fermionic, descendent twist fields. The equations parametrizing correlators of primary twist fields are compared to those of the literature and evidence is presented to confirm that these equations represent the correct parametrization.

Mixed-state form factors of U (1) twist fields in the Dirac theory

Yixiong Chen

Abstract Using the ‘Liouville space’ (the space of operators) of the massive Dirac theory, we define mixed-state form factors of U (1) twist fields. We consider mixed states with density matrices diagonal in the asymptotic particle basis. This includes the thermal Gibbs state as well as all generalized Gibbs ensembles of the Dirac theory. When the mixed state is specialized to a thermal Gibbs state, using a Riemann–Hilbert problem and low-temperature expansion, we obtain finite-temperature form factors of U (1) twist fields. We then propose the expression for form factors of U (1) twist fields in general diagonal mixed states. We verify that these form factors satisfy a system of nonlinear functional differential equations, which is derived from the trace definition of mixed-state form factors. At last, under weak analytic conditions on the eigenvalues of the density matrix, we write down the large distance form factor expansions of two-point correlation functions of these twist fields. Using the relation between the Dirac and Ising models, this provides the large-distance expansion of the Rényi entropy (for integer Rényi parameter) in the Ising model in diagonal mixed states.

Lattice approach to finite volume form-factors of the Massive Thirring (Sine-Gordon) model

Árpád Hegedűs

In this paper we demonstrate, that the light-cone lattice approach for the Massive-Thirring (sine-Gordon) model, through the quantum inverse scattering method, admits an appropriate framework for computing the finite volume form-factors of local operators of the model. In this work we compute the finite volume diagonal matrix elements of the U(1) conserved current in the pure soliton sector of the theory. Based on the systematic large volume expansion of our results, we conjecture an exact expression for the finite volume expectation values of local operators in pure soliton states. At large volume in leading order these expectation values have the same form as in purely elastic scattering theories, but exponentially small corrections differ from previous Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz conjectures of purely elastic scattering theories.
