abstract

We study the WKB periods for the $(r+1)$-th order ordinary differential equation (ODE) which is obtained by the conformal limit of the linear problem associated with the $A_r^{(1)}$ affine Toda field equation. We compute the quantum corrections by using the Picard-Fuchs operators. The ODE/IM correspondence provides a relation between the Wronskians of the solutions and the Y-functions which satisfy the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz (TBA) equation related to the Lie algebra $A_r$. For the quadratic potential, we propose a formula to show the equivalence between the logarithm of the Y-function and the WKB period, which is confirmed by solving the TBA equation numerically.

  1. Eigenfunctions of deformed Schr\"odinger equations

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Explicit entire eigenfunctions are constructed for the difference operators 2Λ^N cosh(p)+V_N(x) with arbitrary polynomial potential; they become square-integrable only at a discrete set of energies.

  2. Integrals of motion in $WE_6$ CFT and the ODE/IM correspondence

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The WKB periods of the E_6^(1) linear problem agree with the integrals of motion of the W E6 CFT on highest-weight states up to spin 6 under the standard parameter dictionary.

  3. On W-algebras and ODE/IM correspondence

    hep-th 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The eigenvalues of quantum KdV-type charges in Virasoro, W3, and W4 algebras are computed from Bethe roots via WKB periods of Catalan curves, verified against direct CFT diagonalization.
