Duality and form factors in the thermally deformed two-dimensional tricritical Ising model

Published May 16, 2022• 12 citations

Abstract

The thermal deformation of the critical point action of the 2D tricritical Ising model gives rise to an exact scattering theory with seven massive excitations based on the exceptional E_7 E 7 Lie algebra. The high and low temperature phases of this model are related by duality. This duality guarantees that the leading and sub-leading magnetisation operators, \sigma(x) σ ( x ) and \sigma'(x) σ ′ ( x ) , in either phase are accompanied by associated disorder operators, \mu(x) μ ( x ) and \mu'(x) μ ′ ( x ) . Working specifically in the high temperature phase, we write down the sets of bootstrap equations for these four operators. For \sigma(x) σ ( x ) and \sigma'(x) σ ′ ( x ) , the equations are identical in form and are parameterised by the values of the one-particle form factors of the two lightest \mathbb{Z}_2 ℤ 2 odd particles. Similarly, the equations for \mu(x) μ ( x ) and \mu'(x) μ ′ ( x ) have identical form and are parameterised by two elementary form factors. Using the clustering property, we show that these four sets of solutions are eventually not independent; instead, the parameters of the solutions for \sigma(x)/\sigma'(x) σ ( x ) / σ ′ ( x ) are fixed in terms of those for \mu(x)/\mu'(x) μ ( x ) / μ ′ (

Form factors of the tricritical three-state Potts model in its scaling limit

Giuseppe Mussardo, Marco Panero C, Andrea Stampiggi

Abstract We compute the form factors of the order and disorder operators, together with those of the stress–energy tensor, of a two-dimensional three-state Potts model with vacancies along its thermal deformation at the critical point. At criticality, the model is described by the non-diagonal partition function of the unitary minimal model M6,7 of conformal field theories and is accompanied by an internalS3symmetry. The off-critical thermal deformation is an integrable massive theory that is still invariant underS3. The presence of infinitely many conserved quantities, whose spin spectrum is related to the exceptional Lie algebraE6, allows us to determine the analyticS-matrix, the exact mass spectrum and the matrix elements of local operators of this model in an exact non-perturbative way. We use the spectral representation series of the correlators and the fast convergence of these series to compute several universal ratios of the renormalization group.

Form factor bootstrap in the thermally perturbed tricritical Ising model

B. Fitos, G. Takács

We derive a systematic construction for form factors of relevant fields in the thermal perturbation of the tricritical Ising model, an integrable model with scattering amplitudes described by the ${E}_{7}$ bootstrap. We find a new type of recursive structure encoding the information in the bound state fusion structure, which fully determines the form factors of the perturbing field and the order/disorder fields, for which we present a mathematical proof. Knowledge of these form factors enables the systematic computation of correlation functions and dynamical structure factors in systems whose dynamics is governed by the vicinity of a fixed point in the tricritical Ising universality class.

The dilute A4 model, the E7 mass spectrum and the tricritical Ising model

Katherine Seaton, Murray T. Batchelor

The exact perturbation approach is used to derive the (seven) elementary correlation lengths and related mass gaps of the two-dimensional dilute A4 lattice model in regime 2− from the Bethe Ansatz solution. This model provides a realization of the integrable φ(1,2) perturbation of the c=710 conformal field theory, which is known to describe the off-critical thermal behavior of the tricritical Ising model. The E7 masses predicted from purely elastic scattering theory follow in the approach to criticality. Universal amplitudes for the tricritical Ising model are calculated.

Bulk, surface, and interface properties of the Ising model and conformal invariance

Theodore W. Burkhardt, Ihnsouk Guim

By solving partial differential equations for the correlation functions implied by conformal invariance, we obtain exact results at the critical point for the bulk six-point function 〈\ensuremath{\sigma}(1)...\ensuremath{\sigma}(6)〉 of the two-dimensional Ising model and the three-point functions 〈\ensuremath{\sigma}(1)\ensuremath{\sigma}(2)\ensuremath{\sigma}(3)〉, 〈\ensuremath{\sigma}(1)\ensuremath{\mu}(2)\ensuremath{\mu}(3)〉 of the semi-infinite two-dimensional Ising model with fixed boundary spins. Here \ensuremath{\sigma} and \ensuremath{\mu} denote order (spin) and disorder variables, respectively. We also derive the explicit form of the magnetization profile at the bulk critical temperature in an Ising strip of infinite length and finite width, with spin-up boundary conditions on one edge and spin-down boundary conditions on the other.

On the S-matrix of Ising field theory in two dimensions

Barak Gabai, Xi Yin

Abstract We explore the analytic structure of the non-perturbative S-matrix in arguably the simplest family of massive non-integrable quantum field theories: the Ising field theory (IFT) in two dimensions, which may be viewed as the Ising CFT deformed by its two relevant operators, or equivalently, the scaling limit of the Ising model in a magnetic field. Our strategy is that of collider physics: we employ Hamiltonian truncation method (TFFSA) to extract the scattering phase of the lightest particles in the elastic regime, and combine it with S-matrix bootstrap methods based on unitarity and analyticity assumptions to determine the analytic continuation of the 2 → 2 S-matrix element to the complex s-plane. Focusing primarily on the “high temperature” regime in which the IFT interpolates between that of a weakly coupled massive fermion and the E8 affine Toda theory, we will numerically determine 3-particle amplitudes, follow the evolution of poles and certain resonances of the S-matrix, and exclude the possibility of unknown wide resonances up to reasonably high energies.
