Abstract

We derive exact analytical expressions for the critical amplitudes AψA_\psi, AgapA_{gap} in the scaling laws for the fermion condensate <ψˉψ>=Aψm1/3g2/3<\bar \psi \psi> = A_\psi m^{1/3} g^{2/3} and for the mass of the lightest state Mgap=Agapm2/3g1/3M_{gap} = A_{gap} m^{2/3} g^{1/3} in the Schwinger model with two light flavors, mgm \ll g. AψA_\psi and AgapA_{gap} are expressed via certain universal amplitude ratios being calculated recently in TBA technique and the known coefficient AψψA_{\psi\psi} in the scaling law <ψˉψ(x)ψˉψ(0)>=Aψψ(g/x)<\bar \psi \psi (x) \bar \psi \psi (0)> = A_{\psi\psi} (g/x) at the critical point. Numerically, Aψ=0.388...,Agap=2.008...A_\psi = -0.388..., A_{gap} = 2.008... . The same is done for the standard square lattice Ising model at T=TcT = T_c. Using recent Fateev's results, we get <σlat>=1.058...(Hlat/Tc)1/15<\sigma_{lat}> = 1.058... (H_{lat}/T_c)^{1/15} for the magnetization and Mgap=a/ξ=4.010...(Hlat/Tc)8/15M_{gap} = a/\xi = 4.010... (H_{lat}/T_c)^{8/15} for the inverse correlation length (aa is the lattice spacing). The theoretical prediction for <σlat><\sigma^{lat}> is in a perfect agreement with numerical data. Two available numerical papers give the values of MgapM_{gap} which differ from each other by a factor 2\approx \sqrt{2} . The theoretical result for MgapM_{gap} agrees with one of them.
