Local Operators in Massive Quantum Field Theories

Contribution to the proceedings of Schladming 1995. A review of the form factor approach and its utilisation to determine the space of local operators of integrable massive quantum theories is given. A few applications are discussed.Comment: 6 pages, late

Notes on highest weight modules of the elliptic algebra Aq,p(sl^2){\cal A}_{q,p}\left(\widehat{sl}_2\right)

We discuss a construction of highest weight modules for the recently defined elliptic algebra ${\cal A}_{q,p}(\widehat{sl}_2)$, and make several conjectures concerning them. The modules are generated by the action of the components of the operator $L$ on the highest weight vectors. We introduce the vertex operators $\Phi$ and $\Psi^*$ through their commutation relations with the $L$-operator. We present ordering rules for the $L$- and $\Phi$-operators and find an upper bound for the number of linearly independent vectors generated by them, which agrees with the known characters of $\widehat{sl}_2$-modules.Comment: Nonstandard macro package eliminate

Discrete non-commutative integrability: the proof of a conjecture by M. Kontsevich

We prove a conjecture of Kontsevich regarding the solutions of rank two recursion relations for non-commutative variables which, in the commutative case, reduce to rank two cluster algebras of affine type. The conjecture states that solutions are positive Laurent polynomials in the initial cluster variables. We prove this by use of a non-commutative version of the path models which we used for the commutative case.Comment: 17 pages, 2 figure
