Excited states in some simple perturbed conformal field theories Original Research Article

The method of analytic continuation is used to find exact integral equations for a selection of finite-volume energy levels for the non-unitary minimal models M2,2N+3 perturbed by their ϕ13 operators. The N = 2 case is studied in particular detail. Along the way, we find a number of general results which should be relevant to the study of excited states in other models.
