Brick wall diagrams as a completely integrable system

High Energy Physics - Theory 2024-02-16 v3

Abstract

We study the free energy of an integrable, planar, chiral and non-unitary four-dimensional Yukawa theory, the bi-fermion fishnet theory discovered by Pittelli and Preti. The typical Feynman-diagrams of this model are of regular "brick-wall"-type, replacing the regular square lattices of standard fishnet theory. We adapt A. B. Zamolodchikov's powerful classic computation of the thermodynamic free energy of fishnet graphs to the brick-wall case in a transparent fashion, and find the result in closed form. Finally, we briefly discuss two further candidate integrable models in three and six dimensions related to the brick wall model.
