Sailis, Fabio, Castro-Alvaredo, Olalla A. and Negro, Stefano orcid.org/0000-0002-0064-2252 (2025) Complete Minimal Form Factors for Irrelevant Deformations of Integrable Quantum Field Theory. [Preprint]
Abstract
In this paper, we present a method to compute the minimal form factors of diagonal integrable field theories perturbed by generalized $T \bar{T}$ perturbations. Building on existing results by the same authors, these MFFs are constructed in such a way as not to allow for any free parameters, an issue that plagued previous solutions. The MFFs are derived from a generalization of the standard integral representation which has been used since the birth of the form factor bootstrap program. Their asymptotics is characterized by exponential decay at large rapidities. By computing higher particle form factors, we find that any natural higher-particle solutions involve the cancellation of parts of the newly found MFF. We conclude that the assumption that the form factor equations, particularly the kinematic residue equation, remain unchanged in the presence of $T \bar{T}$ perturbations, is too strong. There is a trade-off between having MFFs satisfying desirable analyticity and asymptotic properties and finding analytic solutions to the form factor equations, which is likely solved by nontrivial changes to the form factor equations, especially those where locality or semilocality of fields are essential assumptions.
