Elementary functions in Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz

Abstract: Some years ago, Fendley found an explicit solution to Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz (TBA) equation for a N=2 supersymmetric theory in 2D with a specific F-term. Motivated by this, we seek for explicit solutions for other super-potential cases utilizing the idea from the ODE/IM correspondence. We find that TBA equations, corresponding to a wider class of super-potentials, admit solutions in terms of elementary functions such as modified Bessel functions and confluent hyper-geometric series.
