Abstract:
We solve the RSOS(pp) models on the light--cone lattice with fixed boundary conditions by disentangling the type II representations of SU(2)qSU(2)_q, at q=e iπ/pq=e~{i\pi/p}, from the full SOS spectrum obtained through Algebraic Bethe Ansatz. The rule which realizes the quantum group reduction to the RSOS states is that there must not be {\it singular} roots in the solutions of the Bethe Ansatz equations describing the states with quantum spin J<(p1)/2J<(p-1)/2. By studying how this rule is active on the particle states, we are able to give a microscopic derivation of the lattice SS-matrix of the massive kinks. The correspondence between the light--cone Six--Vertex model and the Sine--Gordon field theory implies that the continuum limit of the RSOS(p+1p+1) model is to be identified with the pp-restricted Sine--Gordon field theory.
