Abstract

We consider the scaling limit of the two-dimensional q-state Potts model for $qleq 4$. We use the exact scattering theory proposed by Chim and Zamolodchikov to determine the one and two-kink form factors of the energy, order and disorder operators in the model. Correlation functions and universal combinations of critical amplitudes are then computed within the two-kink approximation in the form factor approach. Very good agreement is found whenever comparison with exact results is possible. We finally consider the limit $q o 1$ which is related to the isotropic percolation problem. Although this case presents a serious technical difficulty, we predict a value close to 74 for the ratio of the mean cluster size amplitudes above and below the percolation threshold. Previous estimates for this quantity range from 14 to 220.
