In the vicinity of boundaries the bulk universality class of critical phenomena splits into several boundary universality classes, depending upon whether the tendency to order in the boundary is smaller or larger than in the bulk. For Ising…
We consider the scaling limit of the two-dimensional $q$-state Potts model for $q\leq 4$. We use the exact scattering theory proposed by Chim and Zamolodchikov to determine the one and two-kink form factors of the energy, order and disorder…
