Integrable Quantum Field Theory

We introduce and study one-parameter family of integrable quantum field theories. This family has a Lagrangian description in terms of massive Thirring fermions ψ, ψ† and charged bosons χ, [Formula: see text] of complex sinh–Gordon model coupled with BCn affine Toda theory. Perturbative calculations, analysis of the factorized scattering theory and the Bethe ansatz technique are applied to show that under duality transformation, which relates weak and strong coupling regimes of the theory, the fermions ψ, ψ† transform to bosons and χ, [Formula: see text] and vice versa. The scattering amplitudes of neutral particles in this theory coincide exactly with S-matrix of particles in pure BCn Toda theory, i.e. the contribution of charged bosons and fermions to these amplitudes exactly cancel each other. We describe and discuss the symmetry responsible for this compensation property.

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.

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.

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.
