The Chiral Space of Local Operators in SU(2)-Invariant Thirring Model

Abstract

The space of local operators in the SU(2) invariant Thirring model (SU(2) ITM) is studied by the form factor bootstrap method. By constructing sets of form factors explicitly we define a susbspace of operators which has the same character as the level one integrable highest weight representation of \hat{sl_2}. This makes a correspondence between this subspace and the chiral space of local operators in the underlying conformal field theory, the su(2) Wess-Zumino-Witten model at level one.
