Exact c=1 boundary conformal field theories.
We present a solution of the problem of a free massless scalar field on the half line interacting through a periodic potential on the boundary. For a critical value of the period, this system is a conformal field theory with a non-trivial and explicitly calculable S-matrix for scattering from the boundary. Unlike all other exactly solvable conformal field theories, it is non-rational (i.e. has ...
متن کاملBoundary Conditions in Rational Conformal Field Theories
We develop further the theory of Rational Conformal Field Theories (RCFTs) on a cylinder with specified boundary conditions emphasizing the role of a triplet of algebras: the Verlinde, graph fusion and Pasquier algebras. We show that solving Cardy’s equation, expressing consistency of a RCFT on a cylinder, is equivalent to finding integer valued matrix representations of the Verlinde algebra. T...
متن کاملLogarithmic Conformal Field Theories Near a Boundary
We consider logarithmic conformal field theories near a boundary and derive the general form of one and two point functions. We obtain results for arbitrary and two dimensions. Application to two dimensional magnetohydrodynamics is discussed.
متن کاملBoundary states in coset conformal field theories
We construct various boundary states in the coset conformal field theory G/H. The G/H theory admits the twisted boundary condition if the G theory has an outer automorphism of the horizontal subalgebra that induces an automor-phism of the H theory. By introducing the notion of the brane identification and the brane selection rule, we show that the twisted boundary states of the G/H theory can b...
متن کاملClosed and Open Conformal Field Theories and Their Anomalies
The main purpose of this paper is to give rigorous mathematical foundations for investigating closed and closed/open conformal field theories (CFT’s) and their anomalies. In physics, the topic of closed/open CFT has been extensively discussed in the literature (see e.g. [8, 19, 20, 7]). Our investigation was originally inspired by two sources: Edward Witten (cf. [35]) proposed a general program...
