Integral and theta formulae for solutions of \(sl_N\) Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation at level zero (Q1974500)

Summary: The solution of the \(sl_N\) Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov (KZ) equations at level 0 are studied. We present the integral formula which is obtained as a quasi-classical limit of the integral formula of the form factors of the \(SU(N)\) invariant Thirring model due to \textit{F. Smirnov} [Form factors in completely integrable models of quantum field theory. World Scientific, Singapore (1992; Zbl 0788.46077)]. A proof is given that those integrals satisfy the \(sl_N\) KZ equation of level 0. The relation of the integral formulae with the chiral Szegő kernel is clarified. As a consequence the integral formula with the special choice of cycles is rewritten in terms of the Riemann theta functions associated with the \(Z_N\) curve. This formula gives a generalization of Smirnov's formula in the case of \(sl_2\).
