This Communication reports a geometrical factor that is necessary in the diffusion boundary condition across surface steps. Specifically, this factor relates adatom concentration to its spatial gradient at a surface step, and it describes…
Boundary conditions compatible with integrability are obtained for two dimensional models by solving the factorizability equations for the reflection matrices $K^{\pm}(\theta)$. For the six vertex model the general solution depending on…

We present the study of the one-dimensional Klein-Gordon equation by a smooth barrier. The scattering solutions are given in terms of the Whittaker $M_{\kappa,\mu}(x)$ function. The reflection and transmission coefficients are calculated in…
We present the `Heisenberg picture' of the reflection algebra by explicitly constructing the boundary Yangian symmetry of an AdS/CFT superstring which ends on a boundary with non-trivial degrees of freedom and which preserves the full bulk…
Using duality in optimization theory we formulate a dual approach to the S-matrix bootstrap that provides rigorous bounds to 2D QFT observables as a consequence of unitarity, crossing symmetry and analyticity of the scattering matrix. We…
We compute the boundary scattering amplitudes of the breathers of the supersymmetric sine-Gordon model using the fusion of the soliton-antisoliton pair scattering with the boundary with a known result of the soliton boundary scattering…
A general scheme has been proposed to study the critical behaviour of integrable interaction-round-a-face models with fixed boundary conditions. It has been shown that the boundary crossing symmetry plays an important role in determining…
The first paper in this series introduced a new family of nonasymptotic matrix concentration inequalities that sharply capture the spectral properties of very general random matrices in terms of an associated noncommutative model. These…
This paper aims at reviewing and analysing the method of reflections. The latter is an iterative procedure designed to linear boundary value problems set in multiply connected domains. Being based on a decomposition of the domain boundary,…
A variety of boundary value problems in linear transport theory are expressed as a diffusion equation of the two-way, or forward-backward, type. In such problems boundary data are specified only on part of the boundary, which introduces…
We obtain general bounds on scattering processes involving charged particles in 1+1 spacetime dimensions. After a general analysis we derive mostly numerical bounds on couplings in theories with $O(N)$ and $U(N)$ global symmetries. The…
In this paper the relativistic quantum dynamics of a spin-1/2 neutral particle with a magnetic moment $\mu$ in the cosmic string spacetime is reexamined by applying the von Neumann theory of self--adjoint extensions. Contrary to previous…
We prove uniqueness of a martingale problem with boundary conditions on a simplex associated to a differential operator with an unbounded drift. We show that the solution of the martingale problem remains absorbed at the boundary once it…
We propose a classification of the reflection $K$-matrices (solutions of the boundary Yang-Baxter equation) for the $U_{q}[\mathrm{osp}^{\left(2\right)}\left(2|2m\right)]=U_{q}[C^{\left(2\right)}\left(m+1\right)]$ vertex-model. We have…
The topological quantum number Q of a superconducting or chiral insulating wire counts the number of stable bound states at the end points. We determine Q from the matrix r of reflection amplitudes from one of the ends, generalizing the…
We propose a fusion formula for AdS/CFT worldsheet boundary S-matrices. We show that, starting from the fundamental Y=0 boundary S-matrix, this formula correctly reproduces the two-particle bound-state boundary S-matrices.
We argue how boundary B-type Landau-Ginzburg models based on matrix factorizations can be used to compute exact superpotentials for intersecting D-brane configurations on compact Calabi-Yau spaces. In this paper, we consider the dependence…
The solution of the scattering problem based on the Lippmann-Schwinger equation requires in many cases a discretization of the spectrum in the continuum which does not respect the unitary equivalence of the S-matrix on the finite grid. We…
We study worldsheet theory of confining strings in two-dimensional massive adjoint QCD. Similarly to confining strings in higher dimensions this theory exhibits a non-trivial $S$-matrix surviving even in the strict planar limit. In the…
