K. Lang et W. Ruhl, CRITICAL NONLINEAR O(N) SIGMA-MODELS AT 2-LESS-THAN-D-LESS-THAN-4 - THE DEGENERACY OF QUASI-PRIMARY FIELDS AND ITS RESOLUTION, Zeitschrift fur Physik. C, Particles and fields, 61(3), 1994, pp. 495-509
Quasi-primary fields with dimensions that differ at most by O(1/N) and
whose other quantum numbers are all equal, are called degenerate. Mul
tiplets of such fields are produced by a chain of fusion processes. Fo
rcing the fusion to run through different intermediate states leads to
matrices of fusion and anomalous dimension amplitudes whose simultane
ous diagonalization allows to resolve the degeneracy.
