Fonctions à un point dans le modèle de sine-Gordon supersymétrique

Abstract

This PhD thesis addresses the problem of the calculation of the one point functions (1PF) in integrable two-dimensional quantum field theories. A method for their calculation has been developed in the context of the sine-Gordon Theory. The integrability of the model was used to build a basis of local operators to describe the six-vertex model. This basis, called fermionic, is interesting because the vacuum expectation values of its operators are expressed in terms of determinants and the fermionic structure can be extended to the continuous limit in order to characterize local operators in the CFT. In this thesis, we continue to work on this approach, aiming to generalize the fermionic basis to the supersymmetric sine-Gordon model (ssG). We derived scaling equations governing the thermodynamics of the ssG theory, reproducing the BLZ generating function. Then, we described the integrable structure of the ssG model using the fermion-current basis. We focused on the fermionic part and calculated its one point functions. These results were verified with a different approach based on the reflection relations.

ODE/IM Correspondence in Toda Field Theories and Fermionic Basis in sin(h)-Gordon Model

Stefano Negro

The first part of this work consists of a study of the ODE/IM correspondence for simply-laced affine Toda field theories. It is a first step towards a full generalisation of the results of Lukyanov and Zamolodchikov on $\hat{\mathfrak a}_1$ to a general affine Lie-Kač-Moody algebra $\hat{\mathfrak g}$. In order to achieve our goal, we investigate the structure of evaluation representations of $\hat{\mathfrak g}$ and show how their tensor products are related by what we call projected isomorphisms. These isomorphisms are used to construct a set of quadratic functional relations, called $ψ$-system, for the solutions to complex differential equations associated to $\hat{\mathfrak g}$. Finally, from the $ψ$-system for the algebras $\mathfrak a$ and $\mathfrak d$, we derive a set of Bethe Ansatz equations satisfied by the eigenvalues of some particular boundary problem for the above mentioned differential equations. The second part of this work deals with the study of one-point functions in sine- and sinh-Gordon models. The approach to the computation of these quantities follows a powerful method, which we call fermionic basis, developed by Boos et al. for the XXZ, quantum Liouville and quantum sine-Gordon models. We show how the determinant formula for one-point functions obtained there can be generalised to the sinh-Gordon model. In doing so we give an interpretation of the fermionic basis in terms of certain symmetries of the system. This new perspective will also allow us to solve trivially the reflection relations introduced by Fateev et al. We then provide analytical and numerical results supporting our finding.

Investigations in Two-Dimensional Quantum Field Theory by the Bootstrap and TCSA Methods

Gábor Zsolt Tóth

This thesis contains three main parts, which are largely independent. In the first part we deal with the boundary bootstrap in supersymmetric factorized scattering theory. We give a description of supersymmetry in the case when the space is a half-line and present rules for the determination of the representations in which higher level boundary bound states transform, and for the determination of the supersymmetric one-particle reflection matrix factors for the higher level boundary bound states. These rules apply under the condition that the bulk particles transform in the kink or in the boson-fermion representation. Examples for the application of these rules to specific models are also given. In the second part we investigate the problem whether the TCSA spectrum can be approximated by the spectrum of the original Hamiltonian operator in which the coefficients of the terms are suitably changed. The investigation is done in the case of the critical Ising model on a strip with an external magnetic field on one of the boundaries. Another truncation method that preserves the solvability of the model is also considered. The results of perturbative and numerical calculations show that the above approximation is possible and that the qualitative behaviour of the truncated spectrum as a function of the coupling constant depends on the truncation method. In the third part we investigate the phase structure of the two- and three-frequency sine-Gordon models using the TCSA. In the case of the three-frequency model the tricritical point, several points of the critical line and a few points of the line of first order transition are found.

Evaluation of correlation functions in integrable quantum field theories

James Brian Silk

The aim of this thesis is to explore correlation functions in two dimensional quantum field theories in two distinct ways. In part I a new method for calculating the differential equations parametrising the correlation functions of twist fields associated with the U (1) symmetry of the Dirac model is presented. While developing this method a new family of descendent twist fields are identified and their form factors calculated. This provides a novel way of calculating the vacuum expectation values of the primary twist fields and is shown to be entirely consistent with known results. The method of calculating the correlation functions of twist fields provides a parametrisation of several other correlation functions for various quantum states. Since this method relies on the Ward identities found in a double copy model it is hoped to have wider applications in other free fermion models. Part II concerns the truncated conformal space approach which has been developed to approximate perturbed conformal field theories. In this part the theory underpinning the approach is discussed and a working algorithm is developed for both bulk and boundary perturbed minimal models. The energy levels, mass gaps and one point functions of various models are computed using the truncated conformal space approach and are shown to be in good agreement with previous calculations. A possible method for using this approach to approximate two point functions in perturbed conformal field theories is discussed.

Modèles de Hubbard unidimensionels généralisés

Victor Fomin

This thesis is devoted to the one-dimensional integrable Hubbard model and its generalizations. The Hubbard model is one of the fundamental models in condensed matter physics which describes interacting electrons on the lattice. It has very rich physical structure. Inspite of its construction simplicity it has been applied to diverse problems as high-Tc superconductivity, band magnetism and the metal-insulator transition. In one dimension the Hubbard model is an integrable model which has been intensively studied and served as a theoretical laboratory for the condensed matter physics. Recently, the integrable systems and in particular the Hubbard model, have surprisingly appeared in the AdS/CFT correspondence context. The intersection point between the fields is the Bethe equations: the ones of new integrable models and the generalizations of existing ones are relevant in the application in AdS/CFT duality. In the first part of the thesis, we present basis notions of the quantum integrability: the R-matrix formalism, the Yang-Baxter equation, integrable spin chains etc. In the second part we review several fundamental results of the one-dimensional Hubbard model: the Coordinate Bethe Ansatz solution, real solutions of the Lieb-Wu equations etc. Moreover, applications in the AdS/CFT duality are considered. However, it turns out that certain modifications of the integrable Hubbard model are necessary to reproduce the correct results of the AdS/CFT context. This is one of the main motivations of the studies of generalized Hubbard models. The fourth chapter is devoted to generalizations of the Hubbard model and we focus our attention on supersymmetric ones. The fifth chapter con- tains the results obtained in the framework of this thesis on the supersymmetric generalizations of the Hubbard models. Namely, the Coordinate Bethe Ansatz solution and real solutions of the Bethe equations in the thermodynamic limit are exposed. We point out that the obtained Bethe equations differs from the Lieb-Wu ones by phases which appearance is encouraging sign for the application in the AdS/CFT context. We also discuss possible applications in the AdS/CFT duality and in con- densed matter physics.

Exact S-matrices and related algebraic structures in two- dimensional quantum systems

Zorawar S. Bassi

This thesis studies exact S-matrices and integrability aspects for several two-dimensional quantum systems. The emphasis is on the algebraic structures that underlie exact solvability in two dimensions. The first project details the construction of an optics model for n-level atoms interacting with an electromagnetic field. In the slowly varying envelope and rotating wave approximations, the equations of motion are shown to have a zero-curvature representation, implying an infinite set of quantum conservation laws. The second system investigated is a disordered field theory of Dirac fermions, which after averaging over the potential can be expressed as an osp(2|2) current- current model. The current-current model in turn can be viewed as the fully renormalized version of an osp(2]2) (1) (marginal) Toda system. Non-local charges satisfying the Uq[osp(2|2)(1)] quantum superalgebra are constructed. The corresponding quantum affine symmetry is used to build the Toda S-matrix for the vector representation. The exact S-matrix for the fundamental “solitons” of the osp(2|2) current-current model is then obtained by taking the marginal limit of the Toda S-matrix. The remaining two projects shift the focus to boundary theories. In the first boundary study, two massive versions of the anisotropic spin 1/2 Kondo model are introduced. The two models have the same bulk sine-Gordon interactions but differ in their boundary terms. At the free fermion point, each of the models can be understood as two decoupled Ising models in boundary magnetic fields. Integrability of the models is discussed and boundary S-matrices at and away from the free fermion point are constructed. The final system studied describes an Anderson impurity in a BCS superconductor. This model can be mapped onto an Ising boundary field theory. The boundary S - matrix is shown to exhibit Andreev scattering and the existence of bound states lying inside the superconducting gap.

Two-Dimensional Models and Bosonization Method

Jean Zinn‐Justin

Chapter 31 discussed the generic O(N) non-linear σ-model. We have noticed that the abelian case N = 2 is special because the RG β-function vanishes in two dimensions. The corresponding O(2) invariant spin model is specially interesting: it provides an example of the celebrated Kosterlitz–Thouless phase transition and will be examined in Chapter 33. However, a thorough discussion of this model requires a new technique: we have to establish relations, special to two dimensions, between fermion and boson local field theories, by a method called bosonization. This chapter illustrates the derivation involves several steps with the help of various other two-dimensional models which are physically interesting in their own right. It first studies the free massless boson and fermion fields. It evaluates the determinant of the covariant fermion derivative in the presence of an external gauge field. The result is at the basis of the bosonization technique. The chapter then discusses the sine–Gordon (SG) model. It solves the Schwinger model, QED with massless fermions. Finally, it demonstrates the equivalence between the SG model and two fermion models with current-current interaction: the Thirring model and another model with two species of fermions.
