Lagrangians for the W-Algebra Models

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

The field algebra of the minimal models of W-algebras is amenable to a very simple description as a polynomial algebra generated by few elementary fields, corresponding to order parameters. Using this description, the complete Landau-Ginzburg lagrangians for these models are obtained. Perturbing these lagrangians we can explore their phase diagrams, which correspond to multicritical points with DnD_n symmetry. In particular, it is shown that there is a perturbation for which the phase structure coincides with that of the IRF models of Jimbo et al.
