The theory of a massless two-dimensional scalar field with a periodic boundary interaction is considered. At a critical value of the period this system defines a conformal field theory and can be re-expressed in terms of free fermions,…
The question of boundary conditions in conformal field theories is discussed, in the light of recent progress. Two kinds of boundary conditions are examined, along open boundaries of the system, or along closed curves or ``seams''. Solving…

We consider the role of boundary conditions in the $AdS_{d+1}/CFT_{d}$ correspondence for the scalar field theory. Also a careful analysis of some limiting cases is presented. We study three possible types of boundary conditions, Dirichlet,…
The presence of a boundary (or defect) in a conformal field theory allows one to generalize the notion of an exactly marginal deformation. Without a boundary, one must find an operator of protected scaling dimension $\Delta$ equal to the…
Here we understand \textit{dimensional reduction} as a procedure to obtain an effective model in $D-1$ dimensions that is related to the original model in $D$ dimensions. To explore this concept we use both a self-interacting fermionic…
