Abstract

We consider the integrable minimal models M(m,m;t){\cal M}(m,m';t), corresponding to the φ1,3\varphi_{1,3} perturbation off-criticality, in the {\it logarithmic limit\,} m,mm, m'\to\infty, m/mp/pm/m'\to p/p' where p,pp, p' are coprime and the limit is taken through coprime values of m,mm,m'. We view these off-critical minimal models M(m,m;t){\cal M}(m,m';t) as the continuum scaling limit of the Forrester-Baxter Restricted Solid-On-Solid (RSOS) models on the square lattice. Applying Corner Transfer Matrices to the Forrester-Baxter RSOS models in Regime III, we argue that taking first the thermodynamic limit and second the {\it logarithmic limit\,} yields off-critical logarithmic minimal models LM(p,p;t){\cal LM}(p,p';t) corresponding to the φ1,3\varphi_{1,3} perturbation of the critical logarithmic minimal models LM(p,p){\cal LM}(p,p'). Specifically, in accord with the Kyoto correspondence principle, we show that the logarithmic limit of the one-dimensional configurational sums yields finitized quasi-rational characters of the Kac representations of the critical logarithmic minimal models LM(p,p){\cal LM}(p,p'). We also calculate the logarithmic limit of certain off-critical observables Or,s{\cal O}_{r,s} related to One Point Functions and show that the associated critical exponents βr,s=(2α)Δr,sp,p\beta_{r,s}=(2-\alpha)\,\Delta_{r,s}^{p,p'} produce all conformal dimensions Δr,sp,p<(pp)(9pp)4pp\Delta_{r,s}^{p,p'}<{(p'-p)(9p-p')\over 4pp'} in the infinitely extended Kac table. The corresponding Kac labels (r,s)(r,s) satisfy (pspr)2<8p(pp)(p s-p' r)^2< 8p(p'-p). The exponent 2α=p2(pp)2-\alpha ={p'\over 2(p'-p)} is obtained from the logarithmic limit of the free energy giving the conformal dimension Δt=1α2α=2ppp=Δ1,3p,p\Delta_t={1-\alpha\over 2-\alpha}={2p-p'\over p'}=\Delta_{1,3}^{p,p'} for the perturbing field tt. As befits a non-unitary theory, some observables Or,s{\cal O}_{r,s} diverge at criticality.
