Exact (d)->(+)&(-) boundary flow in the tricritical Ising model

High Energy Physics - Theory 2011-02-16 v2

Abstract

The integrable perturbation of the degenerate boundary condition (d) by the ϕ1,3\phi_{1,3} boundary field generates a renormalization group flow down to the superposition of Cardy boundary states (+)&(-). Exact Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz (TBA) equations for all the excited states are derived here extending the results of a previous paper to this case. As an intermediate step, the non-Cardy boundary conformal sector (+)&(-) is also described as the scaling limit of an A_4 lattice model with appropriate integrable boundary conditions and produces the first example of superposition of finitized Virasoro characters.
