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
  • [Zam89]

 

 

history
  • Soon after Zamolodchikov’s first paper appeared, Fateev and Zamolodchikov conjectured in [FZ90] that if you take a minimal model CFT constructed from a compact Lie algebra g via the coset construction and perturb it in a particular way, then you obtain the affine Toda field theory (ATFT) associated with g, which is an integrable field theory. This was confirmed in [EY] and [HoM]. If you do this with g = E8, you arrive at the conjectured integrable field theory
    investigated by Zamolodchikov and described in the previous paragraph. That is, if we take the E8 ATFT as a starting point, then the assumptions (Z1)–(Z4) become deductions. This is the essential role of E8 in the numerical predictions relevant to the cobalt niobate experiment. (In the next section, we will explain how the masses that Zamolodchikov found arise naturally in terms of the algebra structure. But that is just a bonus.)
