Non compact continuum limit of two coupled Potts models

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study two Q-state Potts models coupled by the product of their energy operators, in the regime 2<Qle4 where the coupling is relevant. A particular choice of weights on the square lattice is shown to be equivalent to the integrable a3(2) vertex model. It corresponds to a selfdual system of two antiferromagnetic Potts models, coupled ferromagnetically. We derive the Bethe Ansatz equations and study them numerically for two arbitrary twist angles. The continuum limit is shown to involve two compact bosons and one non compact boson, with discrete states emerging from the continuum at appropriate twists. The non compact boson entails strong logarithmic corrections to the finite-size behaviour of the scaling levels, the understanding of which allows us to correct an earlier proposal for some of the critical exponents. In particular, we infer the full set of magnetic scaling dimensions (watermelon operators) of the Potts model.
