Exactly Solvable and Integrable Systems
Abstract
We explicitly construct families of integrable -model actions smoothly interpolating between exact CFTs. In the ultraviolet the theory is the direct product of two current algebras at levels and . In the infrared and for the case of two deformation matrices the CFT involves a coset CFT, whereas for a single matrix deformation it is given by the ultraviolet direct product theories but at levels and . For isotropic deformations we demonstrate integrability. In this case we also compute the exact beta-function for the deformation parameters using gravitational methods. This is shown to coincide with previous results obtained using perturbation theory and non-perturbative symmetries.
