Conserved Currents

We discuss certain integrable quantum field theories in 1+1 dimensions consisting of coupled sine/sinh–Gordon theories with N=1 supersymmetry, positive kinetic energy, and bosonic potentials which are bounded from below. We show that theories of this type can be constructed as Toda models based on the exceptional affine Lie superalgebra D(2,1;α)(1) (or on related algebras which can be obtained as various limits) provided one adopts appropriate reality conditions for the fields. In particular, there is a continuous family of such models in which the couplings and mass ratios all depend on the parameter α. The structure of these models is analyzed in some detail at the classical level, including the construction of conserved currents with spins up to 4. We then show that these currents generalize to the quantum theory, thus demonstrating quantum-integrability of the models.

Integrable Quantum Field Theory

Chapter 16 covers the general properties of the integrable quantum field theories, including how an integrable quantum field theory is characterized by an infinite number of conserved charges. These theories are illustrated by means of significant examples, such as the Sine–Gordon model or the Toda field theories based on the simple roots of a Lie algebra. For the deformations of a conformal theory, it shown how to set up an efficient counting algorithm to prove the integrability of the corresponding model. The chapter focuses on two-dimensional models, and uses the term ‘two-dimensional’ to denote both a generic two-dimensional quantum field theory as well as its Euclidean version.

Loop diagrams often yield ultraviolet divergent integrals. We introduce the concept of one-particle irreducible diagrams and develop the power counting argument which makes possible the classification of quantum field theories into non-renormalisable, renormalisable and super-renormalisable. We describe some regularisation schemes with particular emphasis on dimensional regularisation. The renormalisation programme is described at one loop order for φ‎4 and QED. We argue, without presenting the detailed proof, that the programme can be extended to any finite order in the perturbation expansion for every renormalisable (or super-renormalisable) quantum field theory. We derive the equation of the renormalisation group and explain how it can be used in order to study the asymptotic behaviour of Green functions. This makes it possible to introduce the concept of asymptotic freedom.

General Explanation

In the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz approach to 2D integrable, ADE-related quantum field theories, one derives a set of algebraic functional equations (a Y system) which play a prominent role. This set of equations is mapped onto the problem of finding finite triangulations of certain 3D manifolds. This mapping allows us to find a general explanation of the periodicity of the Y system. For the AN related theories, and more generally for the various restrictions of the fractionally supersymmetric sine—Gordon models, we find an explicit, surprisingly simple solution of such functional equations in terms of a single unknown function of the rapidity. The recently found dilogarithm functional equations associated to the Y system simply express the invariance of the volume of a manifold for deformations of its triangulations.

Distance Limit

The purpose of the "bootstrap program" for integrable quantum field theories in 1+1 dimensions is to construct a model in terms of its Wightman functions explicitly. In this article, the program is mainly illustrated in terms of the sine-Gordon and the sinh-Gordon model and (as an exercise) the scaling Ising model. We review some previous results on sine-Gordon breather form factors and quantum operator equations. The problem to sum over intermediate states is attacked in the short distance limit of the two point Wightman function for the sinh-Gordon and the scaling Ising model.
