Scaling limits of the SOS and RSOS models in the regime~III are considered. These scaling limits are believed to be described by the sine-Gordon model and the restricted sine-Gordon models (or perturbed minimal conformal models)…
The boundary scattering problem in 1+1 dimensional CFT is relevant to a multitude of areas of physics, ranging from the Kondo effect in condensed matter theory to tachyon condensation in string theory. Invoking a correspondence between CFT…
Recent work demonstrated that alternative models to the "no-slip" boundary condition for incipient flow perturbations can produce linear instabilities that do not arise in the classical formulation. The present study introduces a Robin-type…
The known Pfaffian structure of the boundary spin correlations, and more generally order-disorder correlation functions, is given a new explanation through simple topological considerations within the model's random current representation.…
Liouville conformal field theory is considered with conformal boundary. There is a family of conformal boundary conditions parameterized by the boundary cosmological constant, so that observables depend on the dimensional ratios of boundary…
Boundary conditions for Majorana fermions in d=1+1 dimensions fall into one of two SPT phases, associated to a mod 2 anomaly. Here we consider boundary conditions for 2N Majorana fermions that preserve a $U(1)^N$ symmetry. In general, the…
We introduce a flow that is designed to flow maps $u:\Sigma\to \mathbb{R}^n$ which map the boundary of a general domain surface $\Sigma$ into a given (not necessarily connected) submanifold $N\hookrightarrow \mathbb{R}^n$ towards a free…
We consider the behavior of the nonlocal minimal surfaces in the vicinity of the boundary. By a series of detailed examples, we show that nonlocal minimal surfaces may stick at the boundary of the domain, even when the domain is smooth and…
The S-matrix of the well-studied sinh-Gordon model possesses a remarkable strong/weak coupling duality $b \to 1/b$. Since there is no understanding nor evidence for such a duality based on the quantum action of the model, it should be…
In the ordered phase of the 3D Ising model, minority spin clusters are surrounded by a boundary of dual plaquettes. As the temperature is raised, these spin clusters become more numerous, and it is found that eventually their boundaries…
We develop a model for steady, laminar boundary layers over small-scale textured surfaces. Although the texture is small relative to the boundary-layer thickness, it modifies the flow via a slip length. We use matched asymptotic expansions…
The sinh-Gordon model on a half-line with integrable boundary conditions is considered in low order perturbation theory developed in affine Toda field theory. The quantum corrections to the classical reflection factor of the model are…
The relationship between bulk and boundary properties is one of the founding features of (Rational) Conformal Field Theory. Our goal in this paper is to explore the possibility of having an equivalent relationship in the context of lattice…
We propose a many-particle-inspired theory for granular outflows from a hopper and for the escape dynamics through a bottleneck based on a continuity equation in polar coordinates. If the inflow is below the maximum outflow, we find an…
We consider the area-preserving Willmore evolution of surfaces that are close to a half-sphere with a small radius, sliding on the boundary S of a domain while meeting it orthogonally. We prove that the flow exists for all times and keeps a…
In this paper, we present our general results about traversing flows on manifolds with boundary in the context of the flows on surfaces with boundary. We take advantage of the relative simplicity of $2D$-worlds to explain and popularize our…
The Neumann boundary problem for the perturbed sine-Gordon equation describing the electrodynamics of Josephson junctions has been considered. The behavior of a viscous term, described by a higher-order derivative with small diffusion…
We consider RG interfaces for boundary RG flows in two-dimensional QFTs. Such interfaces are particular boundary condition changing operators linking the UV and IR conformal boundary conditions. We refer to them as RG operators. In this…
Monodromy defects describe a dynamical termination of topological symmetry operators, and are sourced by a localized background magnetic flux. We study their properties in gapped SPT phases and, by inflow, in gapless theories with an…
In this paper, we investigate the problem of finding minimal graphs in $M^n\times\mathbb R$ with general boundary conditions using a variational approach. We look at so called generalized solutions of the Dirichlet Problem that minimize a…
