We give further support to Smirnov's conjecture on the exact kink S-matrix for the massive Quantum Field Theory describing the integrable perturbation of the c=0.7 minimal Conformal Field theory (known to describe the tri-critical Ising model) by the operator $\\phi_{2,1}$ . This operator has conformal dimensions $(7/16,7/16)$ and is identified with the subleading magnetic operator of the tri-critical Ising model. In this paper we apply the Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz (TBA) approach to the kink scattering theory by explicitly utilising its relationship with the solvable lattice hard hexagon model. Analytically examining the ultraviolet scaling limit we recover the expected central charge c=0.7 of the tri-critical Ising model. We also compare numerical values for the ground state energy of the finite size system obtained from the TBA equations with the results obtained by the Truncated Conformal Space Approach and Conformal Perturbation Theory.We give further support to Smirnov's conjecture on the exact kink S-matrix for the massive Quantum Field Theory describing the integrable perturbation of the c=0.7 minimal Conformal Field theory (known to describe the tri-critical Ising model) by the operator $\\phi_{2,1}$.

Lattice Approach to Excited TBA Boundary Flows: Tricritical Ising Model

Giovanni Feverati, Paul A. Pearce, Francesco Ravanini

We show how a lattice approach can be used to derive Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz (TBA) equations describing all excitations for boundary flows. The method is illustrated for a prototypical flow of the tricritical Ising model by considering the continuum scaling limit of the A4 lattice model with integrable boundaries. Fixing the bulk weights to their critical values, the integrable boundary weights admit two boundary fields $\\xi$ and $\\eta$ which play the role of the perturbing boundary fields $\\phi_{1,3}$ and $\\phi_{1,2}$ inducing the renormalization group flow between boundary fixed points. The excitations are completely classified in terms of (m,n) systems and quantum numbers but the string content changes by certain mechanisms along the flow. For our prototypical example, we identify these mechanisms and the induced map between the relevant finitized Virasoro characters. We also solve the boundary TBA equations numerically to determine the flows for the leading excitations.We show how a lattice approach can be used to derive Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz (TBA) equations describing all excitations for boundary flows.
