A rigorous methodology for the analysis of initial boundary value problems on the half-line, $0<x<\infty$, $t>0$, for integrable nonlinear evolution PDEs has recently appeared in the literature. As an application of this methodology the…
We study the boundary symmetries of models of nonequilibrium physics where the steady state behaviour strongly depends on the boundary rates. Within the matrix product state approach to many-body systems the physics is described in terms of…
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 =…
Motivated by the superconductivity of $M_x$Bi$_2$Se$_3$, we study topological excitations in a nematic superconductor using Ginzburg-Landau theory. An isolated excitation at low field is shown to be either a distorted phase vortex or a…
We consider minimizers of a Ginzburg-Landau energy with a discontinuous and rapidly oscillating pinning term, subject to a Dirichlet boundary condition of degree $d > 0$. The pinning term models an unbounded number of small impurities in…
We consider the general Wigner function for a particle confined to a finite interval and subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions. We derive the boundary corrections to the "star-genvalue" equation and to the time evolution equation. These…
We derive a general formula of an index for N = 2 superconformal field theories on S1 \times S3 with insertions of BPS Wilson line or 't Hooft line operator at the north pole and their anti-counterpart at the south pole of S3. One-loop and…
We analyze a two dimensional SU(3) gauge model of Wilson lines as a dimensionally reduced model of high temperature QCD_3. In contrast to perturbative dimensional reduction it has an explicit global Z(3) symmetry in the action. The phase…
Abstarct: Boundary effects caused by the boundary interactions in various integrable field theories on a half line are discussed at the classical as well as the quantum level. Only the so-called ``integrable" boundary interactions are…
In this paper, we discuss the construction of a map between weak (gauge) and strong (string) coupling degrees of freedom for the supersymmetric Wilson line-defect in the planar N=4 Super-Yang-Mills. By analysing the Partition Functions at…
Embedded defects proposed long ago (Z-vortices and Nambu monopoles) have been successfully searched for in 3D equilibrium lattice studies within the standard model near the electroweak phase transition and the crossover (which follows it…
We introduce a spin ladder with discrete symmetries designed to emulate a two-dimensional spin-1/2 boson system at half-filling. Using global properties, such as the structure of topological defects, we establish a correspondence between…
We present a large and universal class of new boundary states which break part of the chiral symmetry in the underlying bulk theory. Our formulas are based on coset constructions and they can be regarded as a non-abelian generalization of…
We consider singular perturbed eigenvalue problem for Laplace operator in a two-dimensional domain. In the boundary we select a set depending on a character small parameter and consisting of a great number of small disjoint parts. On this…
The elliptic genera of two-dimensional N=2 superconformal field theories can be twisted by the action of the integral Heisenberg group if their U(1) charges are fractional. The basic properties of the resulting twisted elliptic genera and…

We derived the corresponding boundary condition on Fermi fields to the spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain with boundary magnetic fields. In order to obtain the correct boundary condition from the variation of the action at the edges, we carefully…
We obtain asymptotic formulas for the spectral data of perturbed Stark operators associated with the differential expression \[ -\frac{d^2}{dx^2} + x + q(x), \quad x\in [0,\infty), \quad q\in L^1(0,\infty), \] and having either Dirichlet or…

We study the self-energy of a gravitating point particle in AdS$_3$, and compare to operator dimensions in CFT$_2$. In particular, we compute the one and two loop diagram contributions to the expectation value of an open Wilson line in the…
