Notes on index of quantum integrability

High Energy Physics - Theory 2021-05-26 v1

Abstract

A quantum integrability index was proposed in \cite{KMS}. It systematizes the Goldschmidt and Witten's operator counting argument \cite{GW} by using the conformal symmetry. In this work we compute the quantum integrability indexes for the symmetric coset models SU(N)/SO(N){SU(N)}/{SO(N)} and SO(2N)/SO(N)×SO(N)SO(2N)/{SO(N)\times SO(N)}. The indexes of these theories are all non-positive except for the case of SO(4)/SO(2)×SO(2){SO(4)}/{SO(2)\times SO(2)}. Moreover we extend the analysis to the theories with fermions and consider a concrete theory: the CPN\mathbb{CP}^N model coupled with a massless Dirac fermion. We find that the indexes for this class of models are non-positive as well.
