An informal introduction to our recent work on the principal chiral model with boundary. We found that both classically integrable boundary conditions and quantum boundary S-matrices were classified by the symmetric spaces G/H. The…
We study the critical two-dimensional Ising model with a defect line (altered bond strength along a line) in the continuum limit. By folding the system at the defect line, the problem is mapped to a special case of the critical…
We compute the form factors of the order and disorder operators, together with those of the stress-energy tensor, of the two-dimensional three-state Potts model with vacancies along its thermal deformation of the critical point. At…
We study conformally invariant boundary conditions that break part of the bulk symmetries. A general theory is developped for those boundary conditions for which the preserved subalgebra is the fixed algebra under an abelian orbifold group.…
We study the influence of an aperiodic extended surface perturbation on the surface critical behaviour of the two-dimensional Ising model in the extreme anisotropic limit. The perturbation decays as a power of the distance from the free…
We demonstrate that the one-loop dilatation generator for the scalar sector of a certain perturbation of N=4 Super Yang-Mills with fundamentals is the Hamiltonian of an integrable spin chain with open boundary conditions. The theory is a…
We discuss the relation among some disk amplitudes with non-trivial boundary conditions in two-dimensional quantum gravity. They are obtained by the two-matrix model as well as the three-matirx model for the case of the tricritical Ising…
Key aspects of the AdS/CFT correspondence can be captured in terms of tensor network models on hyperbolic lattices. For tensors fulfilling the matchgate constraint, these have previously been shown to produce disordered boundary states…
A general formulation of the Boundary Quantum Inverse Scattering Method is given which is applicable in cases where $R$-matrix solutions of the Yang--Baxter equation do not have the property of crossing unitarity. Suitably modified forms of…
We study the constraints of crossing symmetry and unitarity for conformal field theories in the presence of a boundary, with a focus on the Ising model in various dimensions. We show that an analytic approach to the bootstrap is feasible…
We analyze the effect of adding quenched disorder along a defect line in the 2D conformal minimal models using replicas. The disorder is realized by a random applied magnetic field in the Ising model, by fluctuations in the ferromagnetic…
We establish an upper estimate for the coefficient of quasiconformal reflection with respect to the boundary of an arbitrary isosceles trapezoid in terms of its geometric parameters; the estimate improve the result obtained in the recent…
The use of finite entanglement scaling with matrix product states (MPS) has become a crucial tool for studying 1+1d critical lattice theories, especially those with emergent conformal symmetry. We argue that finite entanglement introduces a…
We formulate a general set of consistency requirements, which are expected to be satisfied by the scattering matrices in the presence of reflecting boundaries. In particular we derive an equivalent to the boostrap equation involving the…
We review the derivation of the Gaudin model with integrable boundaries. Starting from the non-symmetric R-matrix of the inhomogeneous spin-1/2 XXZ chain and generic solutions of the reflection equation and the dual reflection equation, the…
We study the 1d Ising model with long-range interactions decaying as $1/r^{1+s}$. The critical model corresponds to a family of 1d conformal field theories (CFTs) whose data depends nontrivially on $s$ in the range $1/2\leq s\leq 1$. The…
We construct an extended Hubbard model with open boundaries from a $R$-matrix based on the $U_q[Osp(2|2)]$ superalgebra. We study the reflection equation and find two classes of diagonal solutions. The corresponding one-dimensional open…
We propose the exact boundary S matrix for breathers of the N=2 supersymmetric sine-Gordon model. We argue that this S matrix has three independent parameters, in agreement with a recently-proposed action. We also show, contrary to a…
In this paper we perform the boundary algebraic Bethe Ansatz for massive representations of the $AdS_3 \times S^3 \times T^4$ integrable system. This is a companion analysis to our study of massless representations \cite{Bielli:2024bve}.…
We employ appropriate realizations of the affine Hecke algebra and we recover previously known non-diagonal solutions of the reflection equation for the $U_{q}(\hat{gl_n})$ case. With the help of linear intertwining relations involving the…
