Bullough–Dodd model

Integrable 1+1 dimensional quantum field theory

The Bullough–Dodd model is an integrable model in 1+1-dimensional quantum field theory introduced by Robin Bullough and Roger Dodd. Its Lagrangian density is

L = 1 2 ( μ φ ) 2 m 0 2 6 g 2 ( 2 e g φ + e 2 g φ ) {\displaystyle {\mathcal {L}}={\frac {1}{2}}(\partial _{\mu }\varphi )^{2}-{\frac {m_{0}^{2}}{6g^{2}}}(2e^{g\varphi }+e^{-2g\varphi })}

where m 0 {\displaystyle m_{0}\,} is a mass parameter, g {\displaystyle g\,} is the coupling constant and φ {\displaystyle \varphi \,} is a real scalar field.

The Bullough–Dodd model belongs to the class of affine Toda field theories.

The spectrum of the model consists of a single massive particle.
