Restricted Quantum Affine Symmetry of Perturbed Minimal Models
We study the structure of superselection sectors of an arbitrary perturbation
of a conformal field theory. We describe how a restriction of the q-deformed
affine Lie algebra symmetry of the sine-Gordon theory can be used
to derive the S-matrices of the perturbations of the minimal
unitary series. This analysis provides an identification of fields which create
the massive kink spectrum. We investigate the ultraviolet limit of the
restricted sine-Gordon model, and explain the relation between the restriction
and the Fock space cohomology of minimal models. We also comment on the
structure of degenerate vacuum states. Deformed Serre relations are proven for
arbitrary affine Toda theories, and it is shown in certain cases how relations
of the Serre type become fractional spin supersymmetry relations upon
restriction.Comment: 40 page
Errata for: Differential Equations for Sine-Gordon Correlation Functions at the Free Fermion Point
We present some important corrections to our work which appeared in Nucl.
Phys. B426 (1994) 534 (hep-th/9402144). Our previous results for the
correlation functions were only valid for , due to the fact that we didn't
find the most general solution to the differential equations we derived. Here
we present the solution corresponding to .Comment: 4 page
Infinite Quantum Group Symmetry of Fields in Massive 2D Quantum Field Theory
Starting from a given S-matrix of an integrable quantum field theory in
dimensions, and knowledge of its on-shell quantum group symmetries, we describe
how to extend the symmetry to the space of fields. This is accomplished by
introducing an adjoint action of the symmetry generators on fields, and
specifying the form factors of descendents. The braiding relations of quantum
field multiplets is shown to be given by the universal \CR-matrix. We develop
in some detail the case of infinite dimensional Yangian symmetry. We show that
the quantum double of the Yangian is a Hopf algebra deformation of a level zero
Kac-Moody algebra that preserves its finite dimensional Lie subalgebra. The
fields form infinite dimensional Verma-module representations; in particular
the energy-momentum tensor and isotopic current are in the same multiplet.Comment: 29 page
On Ising Correlation Functions with Boundary Magnetic Field
Exact expressions of the boundary state and the form factors of the Ising
model are used to derive differential equations for the one-point functions of
the energy and magnetization operators of the model in the presence of a
boundary magnetic field. We also obtain explicit formulas for the massless
limit of the one-point and two-point functions of the energy operator.Comment: 19 pages, 5 uu-figures, macros: harvmac.tex and epsf.tex three

Semi-Lorentz invariance, unitarity, and critical exponents of symplectic fermion models
We study a model of N-component complex fermions with a kinetic term that is
second order in derivatives. This symplectic fermion model has an Sp(2N)
symmetry, which for any N contains an SO(3) subgroup that can be identified
with rotational spin of spin-1/2 particles. Since the spin-1/2 representation
is not promoted to a representation of the Lorentz group, the model is not
fully Lorentz invariant, although it has a relativistic dispersion relation.
The hamiltonian is pseudo-hermitian, H^\dagger = C H C, which implies it has a
unitary time evolution. Renormalization-group analysis shows the model has a
low-energy fixed point that is a fermionic version of the Wilson-Fisher fixed
points. The critical exponents are computed to two-loop order. Possible
applications to condensed matter physics in 3 space-time dimensions are
discussed.Comment: v2: Published version, minor typose correcte
Holographic classification of Topological Insulators and its 8-fold periodicity
Using generic properties of Clifford algebras in any spatial dimension, we
explicitly classify Dirac hamiltonians with zero modes protected by the
discrete symmetries of time-reversal, particle-hole symmetry, and chirality.
Assuming the boundary states of topological insulators are Dirac fermions, we
thereby holographically reproduce the Periodic Table of topological insulators
found by Kitaev and Ryu. et. al, without using topological invariants nor
K-theory. In addition we find candidate Z_2 topological insulators in classes
AI, AII in dimensions 0,4 mod 8 and in classes C, D in dimensions 2,6 mod 8.Comment: 19 pages, 4 Table
