Aspects of the Homogeneous Sine-Gordon models

Abstract

The physical mass scales that determine the behaviour of general (simply-laced) Homogeneous Sine-Gordon models are investigated by means of a study of their finite-size effects, using the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz. These models describe integrable multiparameter perturbations of the theory of level-kk GG-parafermions, where GG is a Lie group. The parameters can be related to adjustable mass scales of stable and unstable particles. Our results confirm the presence of unstable particle states at generic values of kk, as predicted at large kk by semiclassical arguments.
