Particle spectrum of the 3-state Potts field theory: a numerical study
نویسندگان
چکیده
The three-state Potts field theory in two dimensions with thermal and magnetic perturbations provides the simplest model of confinement allowing for both mesons and baryons, as well as for an extended phase with deconfined quarks. We study numerically the evolution of the mass spectrum of this model in its whole parameter range, obtaining a pattern of confinement, particle decay and phase transitions which confirms recent predictions.

3-Chiral Potts Quantum Spin Chain
We study the excitation spectrum and the correlation functions of the Z3-chiral Potts model in the massive high-temperature phase using perturbation expansions and numerical diagonalization. We are mainly interested in results for general chiral angles but we consider also the superintegrable case. For the parameter values considered, we find that the band structure of the low-lying part of the...
متن کاملVirasoro Characters from Bethe Equations for the Critical Ferromagnetic Three-State Potts Model
We obtain new fermionic sum representations for the Virasoro characters of the confromal field theory describing the ferromagnetic three-state Potts spin chain. These arise from the fermionic quasi-particle excitations derived from the Bethe equations for the eigenvalues of the hamiltonian. In the conformal scaling limit, the Bethe equations provide a description of the spectrum in terms of one...
متن کاملQuasi-particles in the Chiral Potts model
We study the quasi-particle spectrum of the integrable three-state chiral Potts chain in the massive phase by combining a numerical study of the zeroes of associated transfer matrix eigenvalues with the exact results of the ferromagnetic three-state Potts chain and the three-state superintegrable chiral Potts model. We find that the spectrum is described in terms of quasi-particles with momenta...
متن کاملPhysics beyond quasi - particles : Spectrum and completeness of the 3 state superintegrable chiral Potts model
We find the rules which count the energy levels of the 3 state superintegrable chiral Potts model and demonstrate that these rules are complete. We then derive the complete spectrum of excitations in the thermodynamic limit in the massive phase and demonstrate the existence of excitations which do not have a quasi-particle form. The physics of these excitations is compared with the BCS supercon...
متن کاملAn exact universal amplitude ratio for percolation
The universal amplitude ratio R̃ ξ for percolation in two dimensions is determined exactly using results for the dilute A model in regime 1, by way of a relationship with the q-state Potts model, with q 6 4. The numerical result obtained by Delfino and Cardy by quantum field theory techniques agrees well with the algebraic expression determined here. Percolation is a subject which can be describ...
