Abstract

Boundary flow in the c=1c=1 2d CFT of a Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 orbifold of a free boson on a circle is considered. Adding a bulk marginal operator to the c=1c=1 orbifold branch induces a boundary flow. We show that this flow is consistent for any bulk marginal operator and known initial given boundary condition. The supersymmetric c=3/2c=3/2 case is also mentioned. The supersymmetric c=3/2c=3/2 case is also mentioned. For the circle branch of the moduli space this has been shown in arXiv:hep-th/0609034v2. The ground state multiplicity (gbg_b) is calculated and it is shown that it does indeed decrease.
