Abstract

We construct an effective Quantum Field Theory for the wrapping effects in 1+1 dimensional models of factorised scattering. The recently developed graph-theoretical approach to TBA gives the perturbative desctiption of this QFT. For the sake of simplicity we limit ourselves to scattering matrices for a single neutral particle and no bound state poles, such as the sinh-Gordon one. On the other hand, in view of applications to AdS/CFT, we do not assume that the scattering matrix is of difference type. The effective QFT involves both bosonic and fermionic fields and possesses a symmetry which makes it one-loop exact. The corresponding path integral localises to a critical point determined by the TBA equation.
