Abstract

Integrable massive QFT and conformal invariant models follow from lattice integrable models in suitable scaling limits. There are Yang-Baxter algebras (YBA) associated with all these two-dimensional models. These YBA allow one to construct the exact solution (spectrum, S-matrix, form-factors,…) for this class of theories. Braid groups and quantum groups are derived as limiting cases of YBA when θ (spectral parameter) goes to ±∞.
