Integrable perturbations of Ising model

introduction

• energy perturbation [Kau49], [MTW77]
  • related to A1
  • Ising field theory
• magnetic perturbation[Zam89]
  • related to E8

Ising field theory

• the continuum limit of the Ising model is made to look like a field theory only through the application of a certain transformation (Jordan-Winger)
  • "kink" states (boundaries between regions of differing spin) = basic objects of the theory
  • called quasiparticle

history

• Soon after Zamolodchikov’s first paper [Zam] appeared,
• Fateev and Zamolodchikov conjectured in [FZ90] that
  • if you take a minimal model CFT constructed from a compact Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ via the coset construction and perturb it in a particular way, then you obtain the affine Toda field theory (ATFT) associated with $\mathfrak{g}$, which is an integrable field theory.
  • This was confirmed in [EY] and [HoM].
• If you do this with $\mathfrak{g}=E_8$, you arrive at the conjectured integrable field theory investigated by Zamolodchikov and described in the previous paragraph.
• That is, if we take the $E_8$ ATFT as a starting point, then the assumptions (Z1)–(Z4) become deductions.
