We study the conformal boundary conditions of the dilute O(n) model in two dimensions. A pair of mutually dual solutions to the boundary Yang-Baxter equations are found. They describe anisotropic special transitions, and can be interpreted…
The conformal structure on minimal surfaces plays a key role in studying the properties of minimal surfaces. Here we extend the results of uniformization of surfaces with boundary to get the (weak) uniformization results for triple junction…
Boundary conditions strongly affect the results of numerical computations for finite size inhomogeneous or incommensurate structures. We present a method which allows to deal with this problem, both for ground state and for critical…
We consider generic families $X_\param$ of smooth dynamical systems depending on parameters $\param\in P$ where $P$ is a 2-dimensional simply connected domain and assume that each $X_\param$ only has a finite number of restpoints and…
Many interesting models incorporate scalar fields with non-minimal couplings to the spacetime Ricci curvature scalar. As is well known, if only one scalar field is non-minimally coupled, then one may perform a conformal transformation to a…
It is shown how to obtain conformal blocks from embedding space with the help of the operator product expansion. The minimal conformal block originates from scalar exchange in a four-point correlation functions of four scalars. All…
Given a conformal data on a flat Euclidean space, we use crosscap conformal bootstrap equations to numerically solve the Lee-Yang model as well as the critical Ising model on a three-dimensional real projective space. We check the rapid…
Bootstrapping mixed correlators in three dimensional conformal field theories with a $\mathbb Z_2$ global symmetry has previously led to a closed allowed region in ($\Delta_\sigma$, $\Delta_\epsilon$) space surrounding the 3D Ising model.…

This paper presents a consistent approach to prescribe traction boundary conditions in atomistic models. Due to the typical multiple-neighbor interactions, finding an appropriate boundary condition that models a desired traction is a…
We use the worldline representation of field theory together with a variational approximation to determine the lowest bound state in the scalar Wick-Cutkosky model where two equal-mass constituents interact via the exchange of mesons.…
Multifield models with a curved field space have already been shown to be able to provide viable quintessence models for steep potentials that satisfy swampland bounds. The simplest dynamical systems of this type are obtained by coupling…
We study the exact solution of the XXZ spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain with a boundary magnetic field in the region where the bulk excitations are gapless. It is shown that a bound state is created near the boundary with a total spin $S =…
