Abstract

Recently, large families of two-dimensional quantum field theories with factorizing S-matrices have been constructed by the operator-algebraic methods, by first showing the existence of observables localized in wedge-shaped regions. However, these constructions have been limited to the class of S-matrices whose components are analytic in rapidity in the physical strip. In this work, we construct candidates for observables in wedges for scalar factorizing S-matrices with poles in the physical strip and show that they weakly commute on a certain domain. We discuss some technical issues concerning further developments, especially the self-adjointness of the candidate operators here and strong commutativity between them.

Highlights

  • In recent years, we have seen many interesting developments in constructing models of quantum field theory (QFT) in the operator-algebraic approach [25]

  • Borchers triples for analytic S-matrices For the class of two-particle scattering functions S(θ ) which are analytic in the physical strip θ ∈ R + i(0, π ), local observables associated with wedge-regions, say with the standard left wedge WL, can be constructed by following an argument due to Schroer [39] and Lechner [27]

  • Our aim was to extend Lechner’s construction of two-dimensional models of quantum field theory with a factorizing scattering matrix to models with bound states, which are associated with poles of the S-matrix in the physical strip

Summary

Introduction

We have seen many interesting developments in constructing models of quantum field theory (QFT) in the operator-algebraic approach [25]. Solutions of the form factor equations should represent the matrix components of local operators, and their commutators should vanish when they are spacelike separated Such a formal proof has been given first by Smirnov for S-matrices without poles [41]. The general form of the S-matrix that we obtain is essentially given by a certain subclass of S-matrices known from [28] multiplied with a universal model independent factor which has poles in the physical strip. 3 we summarize the properties of scalar S-matrices with poles in the physical strip in the models under investigation, and we construct the wedge-local fields φ, φ. Appendix C comments on the problem of finding suitable self-adjoint extensions of the field φ
