Two-point Correlation Function in Integrable QFT with Anti-Crossing Symmetry

Delfino, G, Mussardo, G

Published Jan 1, 1994• 24 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

The two-point correlation function of the stress-energy tensor for the $\\Phi_{1,3}$ massive deformation of the non-unitary model ${\\cal M}_{3,5}$ is computed. We compare the ultraviolet CFT perturbative expansion of this correlation function with its spectral representation given by a summation over matrix elements of the intermediate asymptotic massive particles. The fast rate of convergence of both approaches provides an explicit example of an accurate interpolation between the infrared and ultraviolet behaviours of a Quantum Field Theory.

Spectral Representation of Correlation Functions in two-dimensional Quantum Field Theories

Giuseppe Mussardo

The non-perturbative mapping between different Quantum Field Theories and other features of two-dimensional massive integrable models are discussed by using the Form Factor approach. The computation of ultraviolet data associated to the massive regime is illustrated by taking as an example the scattering theory of the Ising Model with boundary.

On correlation functions in J T ¯ -deformed CFTs

Monica Guica

Abstract The deformation, built from the components of the stress tensor and of a current, is a universal irrelevant deformation of two-dimensional CFTs that preserves the left-moving conformal symmetry, while breaking locality on the right-moving side. Operators in the -deformed CFT are naturally labeled by the left-moving position and right-moving momentum and transform in representations of the one-dimensional extended conformal group. We derive an all-orders formula for the spectrum of conformal dimensions and charges of the deformed CFT, which we cross-check at leading order using conformal perturbation theory. We also compute the linear corrections to the one-dimensional OPE coefficients and comment on the extent to which the correlation functions in -deformed CFTs can be obtained from field-dependent coordinate transformations.

Completing the bootstrap program for T T ― -deformed massive integrable quantum field theories

Olalla A. Castro-Alvaredo, Stefano Negro, Fabio Sailis

Abstract In recent years a considerable amount of attention has been devoted to the investigation of 2D quantum field theories perturbed by certain types of irrelevant operators. These are the composite field T T ― —constructed out of the components of the stress-energy tensor—and its generalisations—built from higher-spin conserved currents. The effect of such perturbations on the infrared and ultraviolet properties of the theory has been extensively investigated. In the context of integrable quantum field theories, a fruitful perspective is that of factorised scattering theory. In fact, the above perturbations were shown to preserve integrability. The resulting deformed scattering matrices—extensively analysed with the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz—provide the first step in the development of a bootstrap program. In this paper we present a systematic approach to computing matrix elements of operators in generalised T T ― -perturbed models, based on employing the standard form factor program. We show that for theories with diagonal scattering and certain types of fields the deformed form factors, factorise into the product of the undeformed ones and of a perturbation- and theory-dependent term. From these solutions, correlation functions can be obtained and their asymptotic properties studied.

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.

FINITE SIZE EFFECTS IN INTEGRABLE QUANTUM FIELD THEORIES

Francesco Ravanini

The study of Finite Size Effects in Quantum Field Theory allows the extraction of precious perturbative and non-perturbative information. The use of scaling functions can connect the particle content (scattering theory formulation) of a QFT to its ultraviolet Conformal Field Theory content. If the model is integrable, a method of investigation through a nonlinear integral equation equivalent to Bethe Ansatz and deducible from a light-cone lattice regularization is available. It allows to reconstruct the S-matrix and to understand the locality properties in terms of Bethe root configurations, thanks to the link to ultraviolet CFT guaranteed by the exact determination of scaling function. This method is illustrated in practice for Sine-Gordon / massive Thirring models, clarifying their locality structure and the issues of equivalence between the two models. By restriction of the Sine-Gordon model it is also possible to control the scaling functions of minimal models perturbed by Phi_1,3

Correlation Functions of Quantum Integrable Models: The XXZ Spin Chain

Jean Michel Maillet

A general approach to the computation of exact correlation functions of lattice quantum integrable models proposed recently is reviewed. It is based on the resolution of the quantum inverse scattering problem. The application of this method to theXXZ Heisenberg spin- $$\tfrac{1}{2}$$ in a magnetic field leads to multiple integral representations of its n-point correlation functions. For zero magnetic field, it gives a proof, in both the massless and massive (anti-ferromagnetic) regimes, of the formulas obtained from the q-deformed KZ equations (massless regime) and the representation theory of the quantum affine algebra $${\mathcal{U}_q}(\widehat s{l_2})$$ together with the corner transfer matrix approach (massive regime). We also discuss further problems, related in particular to long distance asymptotics of these correlation functions.
