Colour valued Scattering Matrices

We describe a general construction principle which allows to add colour values to a coupling constant dependent scattering matrix. As a concrete realization of this mechanism we provide a new type of S-matrix which generalizes the one of affine Toda field theory, being related to a pair of Lie algebras. A characteristic feature of this S-matrix is that in general it violates parity invariance. For particular choices of the two Lie algebras involved this scattering matrix coincides with the one related to the scaling models described by the minimal affine Toda S-matrices and for other choices with the one of the Homogeneous sine-Gordon models with vanishing resonance parameters. We carry out the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz and identify the corresponding ultraviolet effective central charges.Comment: 8 pages Latex, example, comment and reference adde

Braid Relations in Affine Toda Field Theory

We provide explicit realizations for the operators which when exchanged give rise to the scattering matrix. For affine Toda field theory we present two alternative constructions, one related to a free bosonic theory and the other formally to the quantum affine Heisenberg algebra of $U_q(\hat{Sl_2})$.Comment: 20 pages Late

Couplings in Affine Toda Field Theories

We present a systematic derivation for a general formula for the n-point coupling constant valid for affine Toda theories related to any simple Lie algebra {\bf g}. All n-point couplings with $n \geq 4$ are completely determined in terms of the masses and the three-point couplings. A general fusing rule, formulated in the root space of the Lie algebra, is derived for all n-point couplings.Comment: 14 p., USP-IFQSC/TH/92-5

Boundary Bound States in Affine Toda Field Theory

We demonstrate that the generalization of the Coleman-Thun mechanism may be applied to the situation, when considering scattering processes in 1+1-dimensions in the presence of reflecting boundaries. For affine Toda field theories we find that the binding energies of the bound states are always half the sum over a set of masses having the same colour with respect to the bicolouration of the Dynkin diagram. For the case of $E_6$-affine Toda field theory we compute explicitly the spectrum of all higher boundary bound states. The complete set of states constitutes a closed bootstrap.Comment: 16 p., Late

Quantum, noncommutative and MOND corrections to the entropic law of gravitation

Quantum and noncommutative corrections to the Newtonian law of inertia are considered in the general setting of Verlinde’s entropic force postulate. We demonstrate that the form for the modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) emerges in a classical setting by seeking appropriate corrections in the entropy. We estimate the correction term by using concrete coherent states in the standard and generalized versions of Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. Using Jackiw’s direct and analytic method, we compute the explicit wavefunctions for these states, producing minimal length as well as minimal products. Subsequently, we derive a further selection criterium restricting the free parameters in the model in providing a canonical formulation of the quantum corrected Newtonian law by setting up the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian for the system

Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz with Haldane Statistics

We derive the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equation for the situation inwhich the statistical interaction of a multi-particle system is governed by Haldane statistics. We formulate a macroscopical equivalence principle for such systems. Particular CDD-ambiguities play a distinguished role in compensating the ambiguity in the exclusion statistics. We derive Y-systems related to generalized statistics. We discuss several fermionic, bosonic and anyonic versions of affine Toda field theories and Calogero-Sutherland type models in the context of generalized statistics.Comment: 21 pages latex+3 figures. minor typos corrected/references adde

n-Extended Lorentzian Kac-Moody algebras

We investigate a class of Kac–Moody algebras previously not considered. We refer to them as n-extended Lorentzian Kac–Moody algebras defined by their Dynkin diagrams through the connection of an An Dynkin diagram to the node corresponding to the affine root. The cases n=1 and n=2 correspond to the well-studied over- and very-extended Kac–Moody algebras, respectively, of which the particular examples of E10 and E11 play a prominent role in string and M-theory. We construct closed generic expressions for their associated roots, fundamental weights and Weyl vectors. We use these quantities to calculate specific constants from which the nodes can be determined that when deleted decompose the n-extended Lorentzian Kac–Moody algebras into simple Lie algebras and Lorentzian Kac–Moody algebra. The signature of these constants also serves to establish whether the algebras possess SO(1, 2) and/or SO(3)-principal subalgebras

Factorized Combinations of Virasoro Characters

We investigate linear combinations of characters for minimal Virasoro models which are representable as a products of several basic blocks. Our analysis is based on consideration of asymptotic behaviour of the characters in the quasi-classical limit. In particular, we introduce a notion of the secondary effective central charge. We find all possible cases for which factorization occurs on the base of the Gauss-Jacobi or the Watson identities. Exploiting these results, we establish various types of identities between different characters. In particular, we present several identities generalizing the Rogers-Ramanujan identities. Applications to quasi-particle representations, modular invariant partition functions, super-conformal theories and conformal models with boundaries are briefly discussed.Comment: 25 pages (LaTex), minor corrections, one reference adde

Anyonic Interpretation of Virasoro Characters and the Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz

Employing factorized versions of characters as products of quantum dilogarithms corresponding to irreducible representations of the Virasoro algebra, we obtain character formulae which admit an anyonic quasi-particle interpretation in the context of minimal models in conformal field theories. We propose anyonic thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations, together with their corresponding equation for the Virasoro central charge, on the base of an analysis of the classical limit for the characters and the requirement that the scattering matrices are asymptotically phaseless.Comment: 20 pages (Latex), minor typos corrections and three references adde
