Abstract

We continue to explore the previously suggested dual regime of Yang-Baxter (YB) deformed O(2N)\mathrm{O}(2N) sigma models, which is a new one-parametric deformation of the O(2N)\mathrm{O}(2N) model. It can be obtained from the conventional YB deformed O(2N+2)\mathrm{O}(2N+2) sigma model by freezing two isometries. The scattering matrix in the non-deformed O(n)\mathrm{O}(n) model is known to coincide with the rational son\mathfrak{so}_n-invariant RR-matrix. For n=2Nn = 2N this rational solution allows for two trigonometric deformations: the usual DN(1)D_N^{(1)} and the twisted DN(2)D_{N}^{(2)}. The usual one is known to coincide with the scattering matrix of the conventional YBO(2N)\mathrm{YB-O}(2N) model. A natural question to ask is what sigma model corresponds to the twisted solution. In this work we claim that it is precisely our dual regime of YBO(2N)\mathrm{YB-O}(2N). We find the corresponding unitarizing function FN(θ)F_N(\theta) explicitly, and, as a bonus, extract some physical properties of this system using the thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz technique.
