Abstract

We develop a method of computing the excited state energies in Integrable Quantum Field Theories (IQFT) in finite geometry, with spatial coordinate compactified on a circle of circumference R. The IQFT ``commuting transfer-matrices'' introduced by us (BLZ) for Conformal Field Theories (CFT) are generalized to non-conformal IQFT obtained by perturbing CFT with the operator Φ1,3. We study the models in which the fusion relations for these ``transfer-matrices'' truncate and provide closed integral equations which generalize the equations of Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz to excited states. The explicit calculations are done for the first excited state in the ``Scaling Lee-Yang Model''.
