Affine Toda Field Theory. S-matrix vs perturbation

Abstract

We have given several pieces of evidence that perturbation theory manages to reproduce various salient features of the conjectured exact S-matrices of ATFT. At present, we do not see how to use perturbation theory to provide an efficient description of the quantum field theory; an alternative formulation may well be required in order to find a proper understanding of the conjectured S-matrices and other features such as the mass-renormalization and the Clebsch-Gordan property. Certainly, the knowledge from other approaches, for example, the Quantum Group approach to imaginary coupling ATFT, investigations of the Bethe-Salpeter equations for the bound states in ATFT and the algebraic Bethe ansatz method advocated for many years by Faddeev and others would be helpful in the search for such a re-formulation. (J.P.N.).
