Abstract

Abstract Chapter 22 introduces a perturbative technique based on the form factors to study non-integrable models. These models often include stumbling blocks like decays and production scattering processes, confinement phenomena and nucleation of false vacua, resonance peaks in the cross sections, etc. All these physical aspects are usually accompanied by a great mathematical complexity. However, the perturbative technique permits the computation of the corrections to the mass spectrum, the vacuum energy, the scattering amplitudes and so on. This chapter discusses in depth multiple deformations of the conformal field theories, form factor perturbation theory, first-order perturbation theory, non-locality and confinement of the excitations and the multi-frequency Sine–Gordon model.
