Exchange relations and crossing

Abstract

We discuss the scattering matrix of two-dimensional integrable QFTs whose fields obey non-trivial exchange relations. We show that crossing equations for such models have to be modified, and propose their consistent modification. This modification opens the way to constructing new integrable S~matrices. As a check, we consider the crossing equations for the $SU(N)$ chiral Gross-Neveu model, and for the $\hat{I}{¦}_{21}$ deformation of the tricritical Ising model, finding an agreement with the existing proposals. Finally, we reconsider the crossing equations for massless excitations of the mixed-flux $Ad{S}_3\times S^3\times T^4$ light-cone gauge superstring sigma model, and conjecture that the massless excitations satisfy non-trivial exchange relations. This changes the crossing equations and leads to a simpler massless dressing factor.
