Reflection Factors for the Principal Chiral Model

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We consider the SU(2) Principal Chiral Model (at level k=1k=1) on the half-line with scale invariant boundary conditions. By looking at the IR limiting conformal field theory and comparing with the Kondo problem, we propose the set of permissible boundary conditions and the corresponding reflection factors.
