Dynamically restoring conformal invariance in (integrable) $\sigma$-models

چکیده
Integrable $\lambda$-deformed $\sigma$-models are characterized by an underlying current algebra/coset model CFT deformed, at the infinitesimal level, current/parafermion bilinears. We promote deformation parameters to dynamical functions of time introduced as extra coordinate. It is conceivable that appropriately constraining them, beta-functions vanish and consequently $\sigma$-model stays conformal. Remarkably, we explicitly materialize this scenario in several cases having a single even multiple parameters. These generically obey system non-linear second-order ordinary differential equations. They solved fixed points RG flow original $\sigma$-model. Moreover, choosing initial conditions may interpolate between varies from far past future.Finally, present extension our analysis Yang--Baxter deformed PCMs.

Conformal Invariance and Integrable Theories
Integrable theories on the lattice having zero energy gap exhibit conformal invariance for long distances. It is shown here how to extract its conformal properties (central charge e and scaling dimensions) from the Bethe ansatz equations. The methods here exposed are applied to the six-vertex model and to the critical Potts model.
متن کاملIntegrable sigma models and perturbed coset models
Sigma models arise frequently in particle physics and condensed-matter physics as lowenergy effective theories. In this paper I compute the exact free energy at any temperature in two hierarchies of integrable sigma models in two dimensions. These theories, the SU(N)/SO(N) models and the O(2P )/O(P ) × O(P ) models, are asymptotically free and exhibit charge fractionalization. When the instanto...
متن کاملIntegrable Sigma Models with Θ = Π
A fundamental result relevant to spin chains and two-dimensional disordered systems is that the sphere sigma model with instanton coupling θ = π has a non-trivial low-energy fixed point and a gapless spectrum. This result is extended to two series of sigma models with θ = π: the SU (N)/SO(N) sigma models flow to the SU (N) 1 WZW theory, while the O(2N)/O(N) × O(N) models flow to O(2N) 1 (2N fre...
متن کاملIntegrable Sigma-models and Drinfeld-Sokolov Hierarchies
Local commuting charges in sigma-models with classical Lie groups as target manifolds are shown to be related to the conserved quantities appearing in the DrinfeldSokolov (generalized mKdV) hierarchies. Conversely, the Drinfeld-Sokolov construction can be used to deduce the existence of commuting charges in these and in wider classes of sigma-models, including those whose target manifolds are e...
متن کاملConformal Sigma-Models on Supercoset Targets
We investigate the quantum behaviour of sigma models on coset superspaces G/H defined by Z2n gradings of G. We find that, whenever G has vanishing Killing form, there is a choice of WZ term which renders the model quantum conformal, at least to one loop. The choice coincides with that for which the model is known to be classically integrable. This generalizes results for models associated to Z4...
