Two-dimensional quantum field theory obtained by perturbing the q-state Potts-model CFT (0<q<4) with the energy-density operator Φ(2, 1) is shown to be integrable. The particle content of this QFT is conjectured and the factorizable S matrix is proposed. The limit q→1 is related to the isotropic-percolation problem in 2D and so we make a few predictions about the size distributions of the percolating clusters in the scaling domain.

Abstract To obtain a first order phase transition requires large new physics corrections to the Standard Model (SM) Higgs potential. This implies that the scale of new physics is relatively low, raising the question whether an effective field theory (EFT) description can be used to analyse the phase transition in a (nearly) model-independent way. We show analytically and numerically that first order phase transitions in perturbative extensions of the SM cannot be described by the SM-EFT. The exception are Higgs-singlet extension with tree-level matching; but even in this case the SM-EFT can only capture part of the full parameter space, and if truncated at dim-6 operators, the description is at most qualitative. We also comment on the applicability of EFT techniques to dark sector phase transitions.
