Modular quantum dilogarithm

introduction

• introduced by Ludvig Faddeev
• called the modular quantum dilogarithm or regularized quantum dilogarithm
• applications
  • S-matrix of the quantum sine-Gordon model
• definition : $b\in \mathbb{C}$ with non-zero real part and $z\in \mathbb{C}$

$$ \Phi_{b}(z)=\exp\left(-\frac{1}{4}\int \frac{e^{-2zx\sqrt{-1}}}{\sinh(xb) \sinh(x/b)}\, \frac{dx}{x}\right) $$
