As was shown in \cite{GPS} the matrix $L=|| l_i^j||$ whose entries $l_i^j$ are generators of the so-called reflection equation algebra is subject to some polynomial identity looking like the Cayley-Hamilton identity for a numerical matrix.…
The scope of this Ph.D thesis is to study the effects of the presence of a boundary from a Quantum Field Theoretical perspective, searching for new physics and explanations of observed phenomena. In particular, thanks to the formal QFT…
We introduce a universal framework for boundary transfer matrices, inspired by Sklyanin's two-row transfer matrix approach for quantum integrable systems with boundary conditions. The main examples arise from quantum symmetric pairs of…
The question of the integrability of real-coupling affine toda field theory on a half line is discussed. It is shown, by examining low-spin conserved charges, that the boundary conditions preserving integrability are strongly constrained.…
This paper studies three results that describe the structure of the super-coinvariant algebra of pseudo-reflection groups over a field of characteristic $0$. Our most general result determines the top component in total degree, which we…
The general idea of this paper is to start from a classical integrable (partial differential) equation which arises as a compatibility condition for a matrix linear differential problem. For definitiveness' sake, a generalised sinh-Gordon…
The boundary supersymmetric sinh-Gordon model is an integrable quantum field theory in 1+1 dimensions with bulk N=1 supersymmetry, whose bulk and boundary S matrices are not diagonal. We present an exact solution of this model. In…
In this survey, we review some of the recent connections between the representation theory of (untwisted) quantum affine algebras and the representation theory of current algebras. We mainly focus on the finite-dimensional representations…
Photodetachment of H$^-$ near a potential barrier is studied. A new formula is presented for the cross sections induced by a barrier. The new formula describes two quantum effects near barrier tops. For energies near and above barrier tops,…
Integrable boundary states can be built up from pair annihilation amplitudes called $K$-matrices. These amplitudes are related to mirror reflections and they both satisfy Yang Baxter equations, which can be twisted or untwisted. We relate…
A recent experiment [Cohen et al., Science 382, 542 (2023)] observed a robustly quantized $e^2/2h$ conductance in a quantum point contact between fractional quantum Hall edges (a quantum Hall transformer), which then vanishes at low…
We investigate nonrelativistic quantum mechanics on the discretized half-line, constructing a one-parameter family of Hamiltonians that are analogous to the Robin family of boundary conditions in continuum half-line quantum mechanics. For…
We determine the exact quantum particle reflection amplitudes for all known vacua of a_n^(1) affine Toda theories on the half-line with integrable boundary conditions. (Real non-singular vacuum solutions are known for about half of all the…
We show how to derive exact boundary $S$ matrices for integrable quantum field theories in 1+1 dimensions using lattice regularization. We do this calculation explicitly for the sine-Gordon model with fixed boundary conditions using the…
Discrepancies between theory and recent qBounce data have prompted renewed scrutiny of how boundary conditions are implemented for ultracold neutrons bouncing above a mirror in Earth's gravity. We apply the theory of self-adjoint extensions…
It is known that reflection coefficients for bulk fields of a rational conformal field theory in the presence of an elementary boundary condition can be obtained as representation matrices of irreducible representations of the classifying…
We analyse a little known aspect of the Klein paradox. A Klein-Gordon boson appears to be able to cross a supercritical rectangular barrier without being reflected, while spending there a negative amount of time. The transmission mechanism…
We construct the invisible quantum barrier which represents the phenomenon of quantum reflection using the available data. We use the Abel equation to invert the data. The resulting invisible quantum barrier is double-valued in both axes.…
We consider boundary scattering for a semi-infinite one-dimensional deformed Hubbard chain with boundary conditions of the same type as for the Y=0 giant graviton in the AdS/CFT correspondence. We show that the recently constructed quantum…
Boundary conditions in confined geometries and measurement interactions in quantum mechanics share a common structural role: both select a preferred basis by determining which states are compatible with the imposed constraint. This paper…
