Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz for N = 1 supersymmetric theories

We study a series of N = 1 supersymmetric integrable particle theories in d = 1 + 1 dimensions. These theories are represented as integrable perturbations of specific N = 1 superconformal field theories. Starting from the conjectured S-matrices for these theories, we develop the Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz (TBA), where we use that the 2-particle S-matrices satisfy a free fermion condition. Our analysis proves a conjecture by E. Melzer, who proposed that these N = 1 supersymmetric. TBA systems are “folded” versions of N = 2 supersymmetric TBA systems that were first studied by P. Fendley and K. Intriligator.     

Supersymmetric CP violation ′/ due to asymmetric A-matrix

We study contributions of supersymmetric CP phases to the CP violation ′/ in models with asymmetric A-matrices. We consider asymmetric A-matrices, which are obtained from string-inspired supergravity. We show that a certain type of asymmetry of A-matrices enhances supersymmetric contributions to the CP violation ′/ and the supersymmetric contribution to ′/ can be of order of the KTeV result, ′/10⁻³.     

Integrable open-boundary conditions for the q-deformed supersymmetric U model of strongly correlated electrons

A general graded reflection equation algebra is proposed and the corresponding boundary quantum inverse scattering method is formulated. The formalism is applicable to all boundary lattice systems where an invertible R-matrix exists. As an application, the integrable open-boundary conditions for the q-deformed supersymmetric U model of strongly correlated electrons are investigated. The diagonal boundary K-matrices are found and a class of integrable boundary terms are determined. The boundary system is solved by means of the coordinate space Bethe ansatz technique and the Bethe ansatz equations are derived. As a sideline, it is shown that all R-matrices associated with a quantum affine superalgebra enjoy the crossing-unitarity property.     

On the relation between Φ(1,2) and Φ(1,5) perturbed minimal models and unitarity

We consider the RSOS S-matrices of the Φ_(1,5) perturbed minimal models which have recently been found in a companion paper. These S-matrices have some interesting properties, in particular, unitarity may be broken in a stronger sense than seen before, while one of the three classes of Φ_(1,5) perturbations (to be described) shares the same thermodynamic Bethe ansatz as a related Φ_(1,2) perturbation. We test these new S-matrices by the standard Truncated Conformal Space method, and further observe that in some cases the BA equations for two particle energy levels may be continued to complex rapidity to describe (a) single particle excitations and (b) complex eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian corresponding to non-unitary S-matrix elements. We make some comments on identities between characters in the two related models following from the fact that the two perturbed theories share the same breather sector.     

XIII. Exact S-matrices and form factors in 1 + 1 dimensional field theoretic models with soliton behaviour

A review is given of the derivation of exact S-matrices in field theoretic models with soliton behaviour, that means models obeying infinitely many conservation laws which imply the factorization of the S-matrix. Form factors of various operators are calculated exactly by means of Watson's theorem. The exact value of the finite Sine-Gordon wave function renormalization constant is determined.     

The boundary condition approach to nucleon-nucleon potentials and the calculation of the T- and K-matrices

It has been shown that the off-shell T- and K-matrices can be obtained by means of boundary conditions imposed upon the off-shell wave function only. When there is a potential outside the boundary condition radius the method proposed permits to deduce in a rather simple way a renormalized Lippmann-Schwinger equation. The S-components of the T- and K-matrices are considered in detail using a potential of the exponential type in the exterior region. For such types of potentials a rather effective method for factorizing the K-matrix is given. Parameter fits to the ¹S₀ and ³S₁ phases are presented.     

Characterization of completely X-symmetric factorized S-matrices for a special type of interaction applications to multicomponent field theories

We describe all the solutions of the factorization equations for the S-matrix for “pair-two pairs” interaction. These S-matrices are expressed in terms of elementary functions. They correspond to the multicomponent nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the multicomponent Heisenberg spin system.     

The statistical distribution of theS-matrix in the one-channel case

It is shown that the statistical distribution of an ensemble of one-channelS-matrices is uniquely determined by requiring that:1)S has poles only in the lower half of the energy plane and2) the functionS(E) is ergodic in a sense to be defined. A Monte Carlo calculation was performed to illustrate numerically the above statement.     

The supersymmetric Standard Models with decaying and stable dark matters

We propose two supersymmetric Standard Models (SMs) with decaying and stable dark matter (DM) particles. To explain the SM fermion masses and mixings and have a heavy decay DM particle S, we consider the Froggatt–Nielsen mechanism by introducing an anomalous U(1) _X gauge symmetry. Around the string scale, the U(1) _X gauge symmetry is broken down to a Z ₂ symmetry under which S is odd while all the SM particles are even. S obtains a vacuum expectation value around the TeV scale, and then it can three-body decay dominantly to the second/third family of the SM leptons in Model I and to the first family of the SM leptons in Model II. Choosing a benchmark point in the constrained minimal supersymmetric SM with exact R parity, we show that the lightest neutralino DM is consistent with the CDMS II experiment. Considering S three-body decay and choosing suitable parameters, we show that the PAMELA and Fermi-LAT experiments and the PAMELA and ATIC experiments can be explained in Model I and Model II, respectively.     

Finite field theories in three dimensions with and without supersymmetry

Necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for the finiteness of theS-matrix and vacuum stress of theories with Yukawa,? ³, and? ⁴ couplings in three spacetime dimensions, and general supersymmetric solutions to these conditions are given. The requirement of a finiteS-matrix allows many non-supersymmetric solutions, but with two bosons and two fermions the additional constraint of a finite vacuum stress allows only one simple alternative to supersymmetry.     

Exact form factors in (1 + 1)-dimensional field theoretic models with soliton behaviour

A system of equations is derived which must be satisfied by multiparticle matrix elements of any local operator in field theories with soliton behaviour. Form factors of various operators of interest are calculated exactly by means of the known exact S-matrices in the sine-Gordon, massive Thirring, non-linear σ^?, and Gross-Neveu models. The finite sine-Gordon wave function renormalization constant is determined exactly.     

Supersymmetric Ising field theory

We construct the simplest solvable non-trivial (S ≠ 1) supersymmetric model: the supersymmetric Ising field theory. The supersymmetric generalization of the duality order/disorder algebra is discussed. Finally we attempt to “double” the model and comment on the connection between this doubled model and the unsolved problem of the supersymmetric sine-Gordon kink structure.     

Bethe ansatz for the XXX-S chain with non-diagonal open boundaries

We consider the algebraic Bethe ansatz solution of the integrable and isotropic XXX-S Heisenberg chain with non-diagonal open boundaries. We show that the corresponding K-matrices are similar to diagonal matrices with the help of suitable transformations independent of the spectral parameter. When the boundary parameters satisfy certain constraints we are able to formulate the diagonalization of the associated double-row transfer matrix by means of the quantum inverse scattering method. This allows us to derive explicit expressions for the eigenvalues and the corresponding Bethe ansatz equations. We also present evidences that the eigenvectors can be build up in terms of multiparticle states for arbitrary S.     

S-matrix regularities of two-dimensional σ-models of stiefel manifolds

The S-matrices of the two-dimensional nonlinear O(n+m)/O(n) and O(n+m)/O(n) XO(m) σ-models corresponding to Stiefel and Grassmann manifolds, respectively, are compared in leading order in $\text{1}\text{n}$. It is shown, that after averaging over O(m) labels of the incoming and outgoing particles, the S-matrices of both models become identical. This result explains why commonly expected regularities of the Grassmann models, in particular absence of particle production, are found, modulo an O(m) average, also in Stiefel models.     

Quantum S-matrix of the (1 + 1)-dimensional Todd chain

Exact factorized S-matrices are proposed for two models of (1 + 1)-dimensional quantum field theory: the Z(N) symmetric (1 + 1)-dimensional Todd chain and the e^? + e^?2? model.     

Generalized density expansion in the kinetic theory and the resistivity of liquid metals

For the system of electrons and immovable interacting centers an exact equation for averaged electron Green's function is formulated. The expansion of self-energy part over the one-particle t-matrices and explicit Green's functions is derived. It represents a kind of a generalized density series containing the correlation functions of the centres. In the low approximation over t-matrix, the transition probability (t)²S in the kinetic equation is obtained (S = the structure factor of centers).     

Representation of osp (2, 2) q (2) andS-matrix of super sine-Gordon theory

We investigate the representations of the osp (2, 2) _q ⁽²⁾ algebra, which leads to theS-matrix of super sine-Gordon theory. TheS-matrix has been derived from supersymmetric conformal field theory with some assumptions. We show that the conjecturedS-matrix can be derived from the representation theory using a correspondence between the representations of osp (1, 2) _q and those of sl(2) _q .
