Abstract

We conjecture the inversion relations for thermalized solvable interaction round the face (IRF) two dimensional lattice models. We base ourselves on an ansatz for the Baxterization described in the 90's. We solve these inversion relations in the four main regimes of the models, to give the free energy of the models, in these regimes. We use the method of Baxter in the calculation of the free energy of the hard hexagon model. We believe these results to be quite general, shared by most of the known IRF models. Our results apply equally well to solvable vertex models. Using the expression for the free energy we calculate the critical exponent α, and from it the dimension of the perturbing (thermal) operator in the fixed point conformal field theory (CFT). We show that it matches either the coset O/G or G/O, where O is the original CFT used to define the model and G is some unknown CFT, depending on the regime. This agrees with known examples of such models by Huse and Jimbo et al.

Surface free energies, interfacial tensions and correlation lengths of the ABF models

David O’Brien, Paul A. Pearce

The surface free energies, interfacial tensions and correlation lengths of the Andrews - Baxter - Forrester models in regimes III and IV are calculated with fixed boundary conditions. The interfacial tensions are calculated between arbitrary phases and are shown to be additive. The associated critical exponents are given by with in regime III and with in regime IV. Our results are obtained using general commuting transfer matrix and inversion relation methods that may be applied to other solvable lattice models.

A large family of IRF solvable lattice models based on WZW models

Juan Ramos, Vladimir Belavin, Doron Gepner

We consider the lattice models based on affine algebras described by Jimbo et al., for the algebras 𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐷 and by Kuniba et al. for 𝐺2. We find a general formula for the crossing multipliers of these models, with the result that these crossing multipliers are given by the principally specialized characters of the model in question. Therefore we conjecture that the crossing multipliers in a large class of solvable interaction round the face lattice models are given by the characters of the conformal field theory on which they are based. We also elaborate on some details of the computation of the Local state probability of these models, conjecturing an expression for it.

Scattering Amplitudes in Offcritical Models and RSOS Integrable Models

Vladimir V. Bazhanov, Nicolai Reshetikhin

In the present paper we study scaling field theories related to the class of exactly solvable noncritical models of statistical mechanics which are known as RSOS (restricted solid-on-solid) or IRF (interaction round a face) models. These models are related to simple Lie algebras and they generalize the integrable version of RSOS model proposed by Andrews, Baxter and Forrester. 1> The models related to gl(n) were found by Jimbo, Miwa and Okado,2> the models related to other classical Lie algebras were obtained by the same authors in Ref. 3) and by Pasquier in Ref. 4) for Dn-case with a special coupling constant. Critical properties of JMO model were found in Ref. 5) where the authors obtain the explicit formulas for magnetization in the model and compute its critical behavior. It was established there that the critical behavior of these models was described by coset conformal field theories. 6>.7> Therefore it is natural to expect that corre sponding scaling field theories will be integrable perturbations of these conformal field theories. s> In this paper we describe the thermodynamics of the noncritical magnetic chain. Then we find the ground state, excitations over the ground state and the scattering amplitudes of excitations. By getting the scaling limit over the ground state of the model we compute the central charges of corresponding field theories, the dimensions of perturbations, the spectrum and scattering amplitudes of excitations. Under certain assumptions we generalize these results for any Lie algebra of A-D-E type. In certain simplest cases this gives known S-matrices like Es, E1, Es scalar S-matrices.9> In certain other models matrix elements of the S-matrix are given by Pasquier's solutions 4> of the Yang-Baxter equation. We do not discuss here the relation of RSOS models to integrable models of vertex type. 23>' 25> Partially the relation was explained in Refs. 4) and 26). The relation between the spectrum of row-to-row transfer matrices in RSOS and in vertex models will be given in a separate publication. For some of the scaling models the same answer was obtained by Bernard and
