We give evidence, by use of the Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz approach, of the existence of both massive and massless behaviours for the ϕ2,1 perturbation of the M3,5 non-unitary minimal model, thus resolving apparent contradictions in the previous literature. The two behaviours correspond to changing the perturbing bare coupling constant from real values to imaginary ones. Generalizations of this picture to the whole class of non-unitary minimal models Mp,2p±1, perturbed by their least relevant operator lead to a cascade of flows similar to that of unitary minimal models perturbed by ϕ1,3.

Abstract
We give evidence, by use of the Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz approach, of the existence of both massive and massless behaviours for the ϕ2,1 perturbation of the M3,5 non-unitary minimal model, thus resolving apparent contradictions in the previous literature. The two behaviours correspond to changing the perturbing bare coupling constant from real values to imaginary ones. Generalizations of this picture to the whole class of non-unitary minimal models Mp,2p±1, perturbed by their least relevant operator lead to a cascade of flows similar to that of unitary minimal models perturbed by ϕ1,3. Various aspects and generalizations of this phenomenon and the links with the Izergin-Korepin model are discussed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
