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.

The theory of classically integrable nonlinear wave equations and the Bethe ansatz systems describing massive quantum field theories defined on an infinite cylinder are related by an important mathematical correspondence that still lacks a satisfactory physical interpretation. In this paper, we shall extend this link to the case of the classical and quantum versions of the Tzitzéica–Bullough–Dodd model.

We construct a topological invariant of the renormalization group trajectories of a large class of 2D quantum integrable models, described by the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz approach. A geometrical description of this invariant in terms of triangulations of three-dimensional manifolds is proposed and associated dilogarithm identities are proven.

Unified nonlinear spinorfield models are self-regularizing quantum field theories in which all observable (elementary and non-elementary) particles are assumed to be bound states of fermionic preon fields. Due to their large masses the preons themselves are confined and below the threshold of preon production the effective dynamics of the model is only concerned with bound state reactions. In preceding papers a functional energy representation, the statistical interpretation and the dynamical equations were derived and the effective dynamics for preon-antipreon boson states and three preon-fermion states (with corresponding anti-fermions) was studied in the low energy limit. The transformation of the functional energy representation of the spinorfield into composite particle functional operators produced a hierarchy of effective interactions at the composite particle level, the leading terms of which are identical with the functional energy representation of a phenomenological boson-fermion coupling theory. In this paper these calculations are extended into the high energy range. This leads to formfactors for the composite particle interaction terms which are calculated in a rough approximation and which in principle are observable. In addition, the mathematical and physical interpretation of nonlocal quantum field theories and the meaning of the mapping procedure, its relativistic invariance etc. are discussed.

AbstractThis paper develops a concept of 2-categorical algebraic quantum field theories (2AQFTs) that assign locally presentable linear categories to spacetimes. It is proven that ordinary AQFTs embed as a coreflective full 2-subcategory into the 2-category of 2AQFTs. Examples of 2AQFTs that do not come from ordinary AQFTs via this embedding are constructed by a local gauging construction for finite groups, which admits a physical interpretation in terms of orbifold theories. A categorification of Fredenhagen’s universal algebra is developed and also computed for simple examples of 2AQFTs.
