Z(_N)-symmetric field theories and the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz
This thesis is concerned with perturbed conformal field theory, the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz technique and applications to statistical mechanics. In particular, the phase space of two dimensional Z(_N)-symmetric statistical models is examined using these techniques. The aim of the first two chapte...
