We describe an extension of the nonlinear integral equation (NLIE) method to Virasoro minimal models perturbed by the relevant operator $Phi_{(1,3)$. Along the way, we also complete our previous studies of the finite volume spectrum of sine-Gordon theory by considering the attractive regime and more specifically, breather states. For the minimal models, we examine the states with zero topological charge in detail, and give numerical comparison to TBA and TCS results. We think that the evidence presented strongly supports the validity of the NLIE description of perturbed minimal models.

We examine the connection between the nonlinear integral equation (NLIE) derived from light-cone lattice and sine-Gordon quantum field theory, considered as a perturbed c=1 conformal field theory. After clarifying some delicate points of the NLIE deduction from the lattice, we compare both analytic and numerical predictions of the NLIE to previously known results in sine-Gordon theory. To provide the basis for the numerical comparison we use data from Truncated Conformal Space method. Together with results from analysis of infrared and ultraviolet asymptotics, we find evidence that it is necessary to change the rule of quantization proposed by Destri and de Vega to a new one which includes as a special case that of Fioravanti et al. This way we find strong evidence for the validity of the NLIE as a description of the finite size effects of sine-Gordon theory.
We consider the tricritical Ising model on a strip or cylinder under the integrable perturbation by the thermal $phi_{1,3}$ boundary field. This perturbation induces five distinct renormalization group (RG) flows between Cardy type boundary conditions labelled by the Kac labels $(r,s)$. We study these boundary RG flows in detail for all excitations. Exact Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz (TBA) equations are derived using the lattice approach by considering the continuum scaling limit of the $A_4$ lattice model with integrable boundary conditions. Fixing the bulk weights to their critical values, the integrable boundary weights admit a thermodynamic boundary field $xi$ which induces the flow and, in the continuum scaling limit, plays the role of the perturbing boundary field $phi_{1,3}$. The excitations are completely classified, in terms of string content, by $(m,n)$ systems and quantum numbers but the string content changes by either two or three well-defined mechanisms along the flow. We identify these mechanisms and obtain the induced maps between the relevant finitized Virasoro characters. We also solve the TBA equations numerically to determine the boundary flows for the leading excitations.
We derive the fermionic polynomial generalizations of the characters of the integrable perturbations $phi_{2,1}$ and $phi_{1,5}$ of the general minimal $M(p,p)$ conformal field theory by use of the recently discovered trinomial analogue of Baileys lemma. For $phi_{2,1}$ perturbations results are given for all models with $2p>p$ and for $phi_{1,5}$ perturbations results for all models with ${pover 3}<p< {pover 2}$ are obtained. For the $phi_{2,1}$ perturbation of the unitary case $M(p,p+1)$ we use the incidence matrix obtained from these character polynomials to conjecture a set of TBA equations. We also find that for $phi_{1,5}$ with $2<p/p < 5/2$ and for $phi_{2,1}$ satisfying $3p<2p$ there are usually several different fermionic polynomials which lead to the identical bosonic polynomial. We interpret this to mean that in these cases the specification of the perturbing field is not sufficient to define the theory and that an independent statement of the choice of the proper vacuum must be made.
In this thesis, we review recent progresses on Nonlinear Integral Equation approach to finite size effects in two dimensional integrable quantum field theories, with emphasis to Sine-Gordon/Massive Thirring model and restrictions to minimal models perturbed by $Phi_{1,3}$. Exact calculations of the dependence of energy levels on the size are presented for vacuum and many excited states.
The filtration of the Virasoro minimal series representations M^{(p,p)}_{r,s} induced by the (1,3)-primary field $phi_{1,3}(z)$ is studied. For 1< p/p< 2, a conjectural basis of M^{(p,p)}_{r,s} compatible with the filtration is given by using monomial vectors in terms of the Fourier coefficients of $phi_{1,3}(z)$. In support of this conjecture, we give two results. First, we establish the equality of the character of the conjectural basis vectors with the character of the whole representation space. Second, for the unitary series (p=p+1), we establish for each $m$ the equality between the character of the degree $m$ monomial basis and the character of the degree $m$ component in the associated graded module Gr(M^{(p,p+1)}_{r,s}) with respect to the filtration defined by $phi_{1,3}(z)$.
