The form-factor bootstrap approach is applied to the perturbed minimal models $M_{2,2n+3}$ in the direction of the primary field $\phi_{1,3}$. These theories are integrable and contain $n$ massive scalar particles, whose $S$--matrix is…

Although the operator (spectral) norm is one of the most widely used metrics for covariance estimation, comparatively little is known about the fluctuations of error in this norm. To be specific, let $\hat\Sigma$ denote the sample…
