Abstract
A formula for the mass-gap of the supersymmetric O($N$) sigma model ($N>4$) in two dimensions is derived: $m/\Lambda_{\overline{\rm MS}}=2~{2\Delta}\sin(\pi\Delta)/(\pi\Delta)$, where $\Delta=1/(N-2)$ and $m$ is the mass of the fundamental vector particle in the theory. This result is obtained by...

| Abstract: |
A formula for the mass-gap of the supersymmetric O($N$) sigma model ($N>4$) in two dimensions is derived: $m/\Lambda_{\overline{\rm MS}}=2~{2\Delta}\sin(\pi\Delta)/(\pi\Delta)$, where $\Delta=1/(N-2)$ and $m$ is the mass of the fundamental vector particle in the theory. This result is obtained by comparing two expressions for the free-energy density in the presence of a coupling to a conserved charge; one expression is computed from the exact S-matrix of Shankar and Witten via the the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz and the other is computed using conventional perturbation theory. These calculations provide a stringent test of the S-matrix, showing that it correctly reproduces the universal part of the beta-function and resolving the problem of CDD |
