Abstract:
The renormalized coupling \gr defined through the connected 4-point function at zero external momentum in the non-linear O(3) sigma-model in two dimensions, is computed in the continuum form factor bootstrap approach with estimated error 0.3\sim 0.3%. New high precision data are presented for \gr in the lattice regularized theory with standard action for nearly thermodynamic lattices L/ξ7L/\xi\sim 7 and correlation lengths ξ\xi up to 122\sim 122 and with the fixed point action for correlation lengths up to 12\sim 12. The agreement between the form factor and lattice results is within 1\sim 1%. We also recompute the phase shifts at low energy by measuring the two-particle energies at finite volume, a task which was previously performed by L\"uscher and Wolff using the standard action, but this time using the fixed point action. Excellent agreement with the Zamolodchikov S-matrix is found.
