Abstract

The intrinsic 4-point coupling, defined in terms of a truncated 4-point function at zero momentum, provides a well-established measure for the interaction strength of a QFT. We show that this coupling can be computed non-perturbatively and to high accuracy from the form factors of an (integrable) QFT. The technique is illustrated and tested with the Ising model, the XY-model and the O(3) nonlinear sigma-model. The results are compared to those from high precision lattice simulations.
