RG flows of non-diagonal minimal models perturbed by ϕ₁,₃

Original · EN

Studying perturbatively, for large m, the torus partition function of both (A,A) and (A,D) series of minimal models in the Cappelli, Itzykson, Zuber classification, deformed by the least relevant operator ϕ₍₁,₃₎, we disentangle the structure of ϕ₁,₃ flows. The results are conjectured on reasonable ground to be valid for all m. They show that (A,A) models always flow to (A,A) and (A,D) ones to (A,D). No hopping between the two series is possible. Also, we give arguments that there exist 3 isolated flows (E,A)-->(A,E) that, together with the two series, should exhaust all the possible ϕ₁,₃ flows. Conservation (and symmetry breaking) of non-local currents along the flows is discussed and put in relation to the A,D,E classification.
