The Lax pair formalism is considered to discuss the integrability of the N=1 supersymmetric sinh-Gordon model with a defect. We derive associated defect matrix for the model and construct the generating functions of the modified conserved quantities. The corresponding defect contributions for the modified energy and momentum of the model are explicitly computed.
Using generalized hydrodynamics (GHD), we develop the Euler hydrodynamics of classical integrable field theory. Classical field GHD is based on a known formalism for Gibbs ensembles of classical fields, that resembles the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz of quantum models, which we extend to generalized Gibbs ensembles (GGEs). In general, GHD must take into account both solitonic and radiative modes of classical fields. We observe that the quasi-particle formulation of GHD remains valid for radiative modes, even though these do not display particle-like properties in their precise dynamics. We point out that because of a UV catastrophe similar to that of black body radiation, radiative modes suffer from divergences that restrict the set of finite-average observables; this set is larger for GGEs with higher conserved charges. We concentrate on the sinh-Gordon model, which only has radiative modes, and study transport in the domain-wall initial problem as well as Euler-scale correlations in GGEs. We confirm a variety of exact GHD predictions, including those coming from hydrodynamic projection theory, by comparing with Metropolis numerical evaluations.
Using the integrability of the sinh-Gordon equation, we demonstrate the spectral stability of its elliptic solutions. By constructing a Lyapunov functional using higher-order conserved quantities of the sinh-Gordon equation, we show that these elliptic solutions are orbitally stable with respect to subharmonic perturbations of arbitrary period.
We give a bosonization of the quantum affine superalgebra $U_q(widehat{sl}(N|1))$ for an arbitrary level $k in {bf C}$. The bosonization of level $k in {bf C}$ is completely different from those of level $k=1$. From this bosonization, we induce the Wakimoto realization whose character coincides with those of the Verma module. We give the screening that commute with $U_q(widehat{sl}(N|1))$. Using this screening, we propose the vertex operator that is the intertwiner among the Wakimoto realization and typical realization. We study non-vanishing property of the correlation function defined by a trace of the vertex operators.
We study the SU(n) invariant massive Thirring model with boundary reflection. Our approach is based on the free field approach. We construct the free field realizations of the boundary state and its dual. For an application of these realizations, we present integral representations for the form factors of the local operators.
One of the most striking but mysterious properties of the sinh-Gordon model (ShG) is the $b rightarrow 1/b$ self-duality of its $S$-matrix, of which there is no trace in its Lagrangian formulation. Here $b$ is the coupling appearing in the models eponymous hyperbolic cosine present in its Lagrangian, $cosh(bphi)$. In this paper we develop truncated spectrum methods (TSMs) for studying the sinh-Gordon model at a finite volume as we vary the coupling constant. We obtain the expected results for $b ll 1$ and intermediate values of $b$, but as the self-dual point $b=1$ is approached, the basic application of the TSM to the ShG breaks down. We find that the TSM gives results with a strong cutoff $E_c$ dependence, which disappears according only to a very slow power law in $E_c$. Standard renormalization group strategies -- whether they be numerical or analytic -- also fail to improve upon matters here. We thus explore three strategies to address the basic limitations of the TSM in the vicinity of $b=1$. In the first, we focus on the small-volume spectrum. We attempt to understand how much of the physics of the ShG is encoded in the zero mode part of its Hamiltonian, in essence how `quantum mechanical vs `quantum field theoretic the problem is. In the second, we identify the divergencies present in perturbation theory and perform their resummation using a supra-Borel approximate. In the third approach, we use the exact form factors of the model to treat the ShG at one value of $b$ as a perturbation of a ShG at a different coupling. In the light of this work, we argue that the strong coupling phase $b > 1$ of the Lagrangian formulation of model may be different from what is naively inferred from its $S$-matrix. In particular, we present an argument that the theory is massless for $b>1$.
