The thermodynamic Bethe ansatz for deformed W$A_{N-1}$ conformal field theories

Abstract

We propose and investigate the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations for the minimal $W_p^N$ models~(associated with the $A_{N-1}$ Lie algebra) perturbed by the least~($Z_N$ invariant) primary field ${\Phi }_N$. Our results reproduce the expected ultraviolet and infrared regimes. In particular for the positive sign of the perturbation our equations describe the behaviour of the ground state flowing from the $W_p^N$ model to the next $W_{p-1}^N$ fixed point.
