We review our recent results on the on-shell description of sine-Gordon model with integrable boundary conditions. We determined the spectrum of boundary states together with their reflection factors by closing the boundary bootstrap and…

It is shown that a WZW model corresponding to a general simple group possesses in general different quantisations which are parametrised by $Hom(\pi_1(G),Hom(\pi_1(G),U(1)))$. The quantum theories are generically neither monodromy nor…

We show that the conformally invariant boundary conditions for the three-state Potts model are exhausted by the eight known solutions. Their structure is seen to be similar to the one in a free field theory that leads to the existence of…

Gluing conditions are proposed to characterize the D-branes in gauged WZW models. From them the boundary conditions for the group-valued and the subgroup-valued fields are determined. We construct a gauged WZW action for open strings that…

We give bounds on the Poincare (inverse spectral gap) constant of a non-negative, integer-valued random variable W, under negative dependence assumptions such as ultra log-concavity and total negative dependence. We show that the bounds…

We explicitly write dowm integral formulas for solutions to Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations with coefficients in non-bounded -- neither highest nor lowest weight -- $\gtsl_{n+1}$-modules. The formulas are closely related to WZNW model at a…

The WZW models describe the dynamics of the edge modes of Chern-Simons theories in three dimensions. We explore the WZW models which can be mapped to supersymmetric theories via the generalized Jordan-Wigner transformation. Some of such…

We attempt to describe the moduli space of boundary states in the SU(2)$_k$ WZW model by constructing marginally deformed solutions in open string field theory in the level truncation approximation. In contrast with other approaches to…

The bound state generating functional is constructed in gauge theories. This construction is based on the Dirac Hamiltonian approach to gauge theories, the Poincar\'e group classification of fields and their nonlocal bound states, and the…

The set of modular invariants that can be obtained from Galois transformations is investigated systematically for WZW models. It is shown that a large subset of Galois modular invariants coincides with simple current invariants. For…

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 establish a bulk--boundary correspondence for translation-invariant stabilizer states in arbitrary spatial dimension, formulated in the framework of modules over Laurent polynomial rings. To each stabilizer state restricted to half-space…

The problem of finding boundary states in CFT, often rephrased in terms of "NIMreps" of the fusion algebra, has a natural extension to CFT on non-orientable surfaces. This provides extra information that turns out to be quite useful to give…

The massless bosonic field compactified on the circle of rational $R^2$ is reexamined in the presense of boundaries. A particular class of models corresponding to $R^2=\frac{1}{2k}$ is distinguished by demanding the existence of a…

A formula is derived for the fixed point resolution matrices of simple current extended WZW-models and coset conformal field theories. Unlike the analogous matrices for unextended WZW-models, these matrices are in general not symmetric, and…
