Critical RSOS models in external fields

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We suggest a new family of unitary RSOS scattering models which is obtained by placing the SO(N) critical models in "electric" or "magnetic" field. These fields are associated with two operators from the space of the SO(N) RCFT corresponding to the highest weight of the vector representation of SO(N). A perturbation by the external fields destroys the Weyl group symmetry of an original statistical model. We show that the resulting kinks scattering theories can be viewed as affine imaginary Toda models for non-simply-laced and twisted algebras taken at rational values (roots of unity) of q-parameter. We construct the fundamental kink S-matrices for these models. At the levels k=1,2,infty our answers match the known results for the Sine-Gordon, Z2N - parafermions and free fermions respectively. As a by-product in the SO(4)-case we obtain an RSOS S-matrix describing an integrable coupling of two minimal CFT.
