The equivalence between the Chern-Simons gauge theory on a three-dimensional manifold with boundary and the WZNW model on the boundary is established in a simple and general way using the BRST symmetry. Our approach is based on restoring…
We define a class of lattice models for two-dimensional topological phases with boundary such that both the bulk and the boundary excitations are gapped. The bulk part is constructed using a unitary tensor category $\calC$ as in the…

We study the properties of {\bf exact} (all level $k$) quantum coherent states in the context of string theory on a group manifold (WZWN models). Coherent states of WZWN models may help to solve the unitarity problem: Having positive norm,…
The higher rank analogue of the XXZ model with a boundary is considered on the basis of the vertex operator approach. We derive difference equations of the quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov type for 2N-point correlations of the model. We…
Our purpose is to calculate relativistic bound states in a quantum filed theoretical approach. We work in the Yukawa model and first calculate the bound-state equation in the ladder approximation. We discuss why this is not a complete…
The Bethe Ansatz equations for the one-dimensional Hubbard model are reexamined. A new procedure is introduced to properly include bound states. The corrected equations lead to new elementary excitations away from half-filling.
Robin (or mixed) boundary conditions in quantum mechanics have received considerable attention in the last two decades, in particular, for applications to nanoscale systems. However, their utility has remained obscure to the larger physics…
We construct various kinds of gauged noncommutative WZW models. In particular, axial gauged noncommutative U(2)/U(1) WZW model is studied and by integrating out the gauge fields, we obtain a noncommutative non-linear $\sigma$-model.
The Poincar\'e-covariant quantum-field-theoretic description of bound states by the homogeneous Bethe-Salpeter equation usually exhibits an intrinsic complexity that can be attenuated by allowing this formalism to undergo various…
The calculation of bound state properties using renormalization group techniques to compute the corresponding Regge trajectories is presented. In particular, we investigate the bound states in different charge sectors of a scalar theory…
We demonstrate that the generalization of the Coleman-Thun mechanism may be applied to the situation, when considering scattering processes in 1+1-dimensions in the presence of reflecting boundaries. For affine Toda field theories we find…
We develop a functional model for operators arising in the study of boundary-value problems of materials science and mathematical physics. We then provide explicit formulae for the resolvents of the associated extensions of symmetric…
We use the Wa\'zewski topological principle to establish a number of new sufficient conditions for the existence of proper (defined on the entire time axis) solutions of essentially nonlinear nonautonomous systems. The systems under…
We discuss the influence of boundary conditions on the continuum limit of the six-vertex model by deriving a variational principle for the associated height function with arbitrary fixed boundary conditions. We discuss its consequences…
In this paper, we show how to adapt our rigorous mathematical formalism for closed/open conformal field theory so that it captures the known physical theory of branes in the WZW model. This includes a mathematically precise approach to the…
The Virasoro minimal models with boundary are described in the Landau-Ginzburg theory by introducing a boundary potential, function of the boundary field value. The ground state field configurations become non-trivial and are found to obey…
We consider the crossing and non-crossing O(1) dense loop models on a semi-infinite strip, with inhomogeneities (spectral parameters) that preserve the integrability. We compute the components of the ground state vector and obtain a closed…
A general formulation of boundary conditions for semiconductor-metal contacts follows from a phenomenological procedure sketched here. The resulting boundary conditions, which incorporate only physically well-defined parameters, are used to…
We numerically verify and analytically prove a winding number invariant that correctly predicts the number of edge states in one-dimensional, nearest-neighbor (between unit cells), two-band models with any complex couplings and open…
