We consider perturbations of unitary minimal models by boundary fields. Initially we consider the models in the limit as c -> 1 and find that the relevant boundary fields all have simple interpretations in this limit. This interpretation…
We discuss in this paper the behaviour of minimal models of conformal theory perturbed by the operator $\Phi_{13}$ at the boundary. Using the RSOS restriction of the sine-Gordon model, adapted to the boundary problem, a series of boundary…

The exact renormalisation group equation is studied for a two-dimensional theory with exponential interaction and a background charge at infinity. The motivation for studying this interaction is the flow between unitary minimal models…
The integrable perturbation of the degenerate boundary condition (d) by the $\phi_{1,3}$ boundary field generates a renormalization group flow down to the superposition of Cardy boundary states (+)&(-). Exact Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz…
Recently it was highlighted that one-dimensional antiferromagnetic spin models with frustrated boundary conditions, i.e. periodic boundary conditions in a ring with an odd number of elements, may show very peculiar behavior. Indeed the…
It is shown that, under some natural additional conditions, an operator which intertwines one cyclic singular unitary operator with one dimensional perturbation of another cyclic singular unitary operator is the operator of multiplication…
We use renormalization group methods to study composite operators existing at a boundary of an interacting conformal field theory. In particular we relate the data on boundary operators to short-distance (near-boundary) divergences of bulk…
Recently Gaiotto [1] considered conformal defects which produce an expansion of infrared local fields in terms of the ultraviolet ones for a given renormalization group flow. In this paper we propose that for a boundary RG flow in two…
When conformal field theories (CFTs) are perturbed by marginally relevant deformations, renormalization group (RG) flows ensue that can be studied with perturbative methods, at least as long as they remain close to the original CFT. In this…
Boundary condition changing operators in conformal field theory describe various types of "sudden switching" problems in condensed matter physics such as the X-ray edge singularity. We review this subject and give two extensions of previous…
