The ultraviolet Behaviour of Integrable Quantum Field

چکیده
We investigate the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz (TBA) equations for a system of particles which dynamically interacts via the scattering matrix of affine Toda field theory and whose statistical interaction is of a general Haldane type. Up to the first leading order, we provide general approximated analytical expressions for the solutions of these equations from which we derive general formulae for the ultraviolet scaling functions for theories in which the underlying Lie algebra is simply laced. For several explicit models we compare the quality of the approximated analytical solutions against the numerical solutions. We address the question of existence and uniqueness of the solutions of the TBA-equations, derive precise error estimates and determine the rate of convergence for the applied numerical procedure. A general expression for the Fourier transformed kernels of the TBA-equations allows to derive the related Y-systems and a reformulation of the equations into a universal form.

Stress-Energy Tensor and Ultraviolet Behaviour in Massive Integrable Quantum Field Theories
The short distance behaviour of massive integrable quantum field theories is analyzed in terms of the form factor approach. We show that the on-shell dynamics is compatible with different definitions of the stress-energy tensor Tμν(x) of the theory. In terms of form factors, this is equivalent to having a possible non-zero matrix element F1 of the trace of Tμν on one-particle state. Each choice...
متن کاملSupersymmetric integrable scattering theories with unstable particles
We propose scattering matrices for N=1 supersymmetric integrable quantum field theories in 1+1 dimensions which involve unstable particles in their spectra. By means of the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz we analyze the ultraviolet behaviour of some of these theories and identify the effective Virasoro central charge of the underlying conformal field theories.
متن کاملOn vacuum energies and renormalizability in integrable quantum field theories
We compute for various perturbed conformal field theories the vacuum energies by means of the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz. Depending on the infrared and ultraviolet divergencies of the models, governed by the scaling dimensions of the underlying perturbed conformal field theory in the ultraviolet, the vacuum energies exhibit different types of characteristics. In particular, for the homogeneous ...

متن کاملSprectral Representation of Correlation Functions in Two-dimensional Quantum Field Theories
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.
