Integrable Open Spin Chains in Defect Conformal Field Theory

چکیده
We demonstrate that the one-loop dilatation generator for the scalar sector of a certain perturbation of N = 4 Super Yang-Mills with fundamentals is the Hamiltonian of an integrable spin chain with open boundary conditions. The theory is a supersymmetric defect conformal field theory (dCFT) with the fundamentals in hypermultiplets confined to a codimension one defect. We obtain a K-matrix satisfying a suitably generalized form of the boundary Yang-Baxter equation, study the Bethe ansatz equations and demonstrate how Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions arise in field theory, and match to existing results in the plane wave limit.

Three-Point Functions in N = 4 SYM Theory at One-Loop
We analyze the one-loop correction to the three-point function coefficient of scalar primary operators in N = 4 SYM theory. By applying constraints from the superconformal symmetry, we demonstrate that the type of Feynman diagrams that contribute depends on the choice of renormalization scheme. In the planar limit, explicit expressions for the correction are interpreted in terms of the hamilton...
متن کاملMinimal Models with Integrable Local Defects
We describe a general way of constructing integrable defect theories as perturbations of conformal field theory by local defect operators. The method relies on folding the system onto a boundary field theory of twice the central charge. The classification of integrable defect theories obtained in this way parallels that of integrable bulk theories which are a perturbation of the tensor product ...
متن کاملDefect scaling Lee–Yang model from the perturbed DCFT point of view
We analyze the defect scaling Lee–Yang model from the perturbed defect conformal field theory (DCFT) point of view. First the defect Lee–Yang model is solved by calculating its structure constants from the sewing relations. Integrable defect perturbations are identified in conformal defect perturbation theory. Then pure defect flows connecting integrable conformal defects are described. We deve...
متن کاملConnections of the Liouville Model and XXZ Spin Chain
The quantum theory of the Liouville model with imaginary field is considered using the Quantum Inverse Scattering Method. An integrable structure with nontrivial spectral parameter dependence is developed for lattice Liouville theory by scaling the L-matrix of lattice sine-Gordon theory. This L-matrix yields Bethe Ansatz equations for Liouville theory, by the methods of the algebraic Bethe Ansa...
متن کاملHigher Loop Bethe Ansatz for Open Spin-Chains in AdS/CFT
We propose a perturbative asymptotic Bethe ansatz (PABA) for open spin-chain systems whose Hamiltonians are given by matrices of anomalous dimension for composite operators, and apply it to two types of composite operators related to two different brane configurations. One is an AdS4 × S2-brane in the bulk AdS5 × S5 which gives rise to a defect conformal field theory (dCFT) in the dual field th...
