    RAMOND SECTOR OF THE SUPERSYMMETRIC MINIMAL MODELS

    No full text
    A Coulomb gas representation for the Ramond sectors of the N = 1 supersymmetric models is constructed. The fusion rules and the 4-point functions for the Ramond fields are calculated explicitly by this method and used to describe the Z2 odd sectors of the tricritical Ising model and of the critical Kosterlitz-Thouless XY model

    FUSION RULES, 4-POINT FUNCTIONS AND DISCRETE SYMMETRIES OF N=2 SUPERCONFORMAL MODELS

    No full text
    Fusion rules, structure constants and four-point functions for all the fields of N = 2 superconformal minimal models (c ≤ 3) are derived. It is shown that the additional Zp+2 symmetries of these models are generated by specific N = 2 superfields which close the N = 2 superparafermionic algebra. General results are applied to the four- and three-generation Gepner tensor product models and the allowed Yukawa couplings are found. © 1989

    Semiclassical energy levels of sine-Gordon model on a strip with Dirichlet boundary conditions

    No full text
    We derive analytic expressions of the semiclassical energy levels of Sine-Gordon model in a strip geometry with Dirichlet boundary condition at both edges. They are obtained by initially selecting the classical backgrounds relative to the vacuum or to the kink sectors, and then solving the Schodinger equations (of Lame' type) associated to the stability condition. Explicit formulas are presented for the classical solutions of both the vacuum and kink states and for the energy levels at arbitrary values of the size of the system. Their ultraviolet and infrared limits are also discussed

    Semiclassical scaling functions of sine-Gordon model

    No full text
    We present an analytic study of the finite size effects in sine-Gordon model, based on the semi-classical quantization of an appropriate kink background defined on a cylindrical geometry. The quasi-periodic kink is realized as an elliptic function with its real period related to the size of the system. The stability equation for the small quantum fluctuations around this classical background is of Lame type and the corresponding energy eigenvalues are selected inside the allowed bands by imposing periodic boundary conditions. We derive analytical expressions for the ground state and excited states scaling functions, which provide an explicit description of the flow between the IR and UV regimes of the model. Finally, the semiclassical form factors and two-point functions of the basic field and of the energy operator are obtained, completing the semiclassical quantization of the sine-Gordon model on the cylinder.

    Semiclassical particle spectrum of double sine-Gordon model

    No full text
    We present new theoretical results on the spectrum of the quantum field theory of the double sine-Gordon model. This non-integrable model displays different varieties of kink excitations and bound states thereof. Their mass can be obtained by using a semiclassical expression of the matrix elements of the local fields. In certain regions of the coupling-constants space the semiclassical method provides a picture which is complementary to the one of the form factor perturbation theory, since the two techniques give information about the mass of different types of excitations. In other regions the two methods are comparable, since they describe the same kind of particles. Furthermore, the semiclassical picture is particularly suited to describe the phenomenon of false vacuum decay, and it also accounts in a natural way the presence of resonance states and the occurrence of a phase transition.

    N=2 SUPERCONFORMAL MINIMAL MODELS

    No full text
    Fusion rules, structure constants and 4-point functions for all the fields in the Neveu-Schwarz, Ramond and twisted sectors of N = 2 minimal models are presented. It is shown that the additional Zp+2 symmetries of these models are generated by specific chiral N = 2 superfields. The structure of the corresponding N = 2 superparafermionic models is discussed
