Title: Truncated conformal space approach for 2D Landau–Ginzburg theories

Abstract

In this study, We examine the spectrum of Landau–Ginzburg theories in 1 + 1 dimensions using the truncated conformal space approach employing a compactified boson. We study these theories both in their broken and unbroken phases. We first demonstrate that we can reproduce the expected spectrum of a Φ² theory (i.e. a free massive boson) in this framework. We then turn to Φ⁴ in its unbroken phase and compare our numerical results with the predictions of two-loop perturbation theory, finding excellent agreement. We then analyze the broken phase of Φ⁴ where kink excitations together with their bound states are present. We confirm the semiclassical predictions for this model on the number of stable kink-antikink bound states. We also test the semiclassics in the double well phase of Φ⁶ Landau-Ginzburg theory, again finding agreement.
