13 Apr 1993 | Journal: | Int.J.Mod.Phys. A8 (1993) 5751-5778 | Subject: | hep-th | Abstract: | We study the spectrum, the massless S-matrices and the ground-state energy of the flows between successive minimal models of conformal field theory, and within the sine-Gordon model with imaginary coefficient of the cosine term (related to the minimal models by ``truncation’’). For the minimal models, we find exact S-matrices which describe the scattering of massless kinks, and show using the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz that the resulting non-perturbative c-function (defined by the Casimir energy on a cylinder) flows appropriately between the two theories, as conjectured earlier. For the non-unitary sine-Gordon model, we find unusual behavior. For the range of couplings we can study analytically, the natural S-matrix deduced from the minimal one by ``undoing’’ the quantum-group truncation does not reproduce the proper c-function with the TBA. It does, however, describe the correct properties of the model in a magnetic field. | Source: | arXiv, hep-th/9304051 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
