Abstract

We prove a useful identity valid for all minimal S-matrices, that clarifies the transformation of the relative thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz (TBA) from its standard form into the universal one proposed by Al.B.Zamolodchikov. By considering the graph encoding of the system of functional equations for the exponentials of the pseudoenergies, we show that any such system having the same form as those for the TBA's, can be encoded on only. This includes, besides the known diagonal scattering, the set of all related {\em magnonic} TBA's. We explore this class sistematically and find some interesting new massive and massless RG flows. The generalization to classes related to higher rank algebras is briefly presented and an intriguing relation with level-rank duality is signalled.
