We consider the CFT of a free boson compactified on a circle, such that the compactification radius $R$ is an irrational multiple of $R_{selfdual}$. Apart from the standard Dirichlet and Neumann boundary states, Friedan suggested [1] that…
The massless bosonic field compactified on the circle of rational $R^2$ is reexamined in the presense of boundaries. A particular class of models corresponding to $R^2=\frac{1}{2k}$ is distinguished by demanding the existence of a…
A family of conformal boundary states for a free boson on a circle is constructed. The family contains superpositions of conventional U(1)-preserving Neumann and Dirichlet branes, but for general parameter values the boundary states are…
We study a bosonic string with one end free and the other confined to a D-brane. Only the odd oscillator modes are allowed, which leads to a Virasoro algebra of even Virasoro modes only. The theory is quantized in a gauge where world-sheet…
We study the mutual consistency of twisted boundary conditions in the coset conformal field theory G/H. We calculate the overlap of the twisted boundary states of G/H with the untwisted ones, and show that the twisted boundary states are…
We study the boundary states for the rational points in the moduli spaces of c=1 conformal and c=3/2 superconformal field theories, including the isolated Ginsparg points. We use the orbifold and simple-current techniques to relate the…
We give an explicit construction of the complete set of Cardy boundary states that respect the extended chiral algebra for symmetric product orbifolds. The states are labelled by a choice of seed theory boundary states as well as a choice…
We improve the recently discovered upper and lower bounds on the $O(1)$ correction to the Cardy formula for the density of states integrated over an energy window (of width $2\delta$), centered at high energy in 2 dimensional conformal…
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 construct boundary states in a particular c=1 conformal field theory, the SU(2)_1/G orbifold with G a binary finite subgroup of SU(2). These states preserve the conformal symmetry, at least, but break rational symmetries of the SU(2)_1/G…
The central theme of this thesis is noncommutativity in string theory. We explore in detail how noncommutative structures can emerge in case of the interacting bosonic string and even in the fermionic sector of superstring theory. We have…
We investigate the existence of bound states in a one-dimensional quantum system of $N$ identical particles interacting with each other through an inverse square potential. This system is equivalent to the Calogero model without the…
The boundary charges which constitute the Virasoro algebra in 2+1 dimensional anti-de Sitter gravity are derived by way of Noether theorem and diffeomorphic invariance. It shows that the boundary charges under discussion recently exhaust…
We generalize the idea of boundary states to the open string channel. They describe emission and absorption of open strings in the presence of intersecting D-branes. We construct the explicit oscillator representation for the free boson and…
In this report we compute the boundary states (including the boundary entropy) for the boundary sine-Gordon theory. From the boundary states, we derive both correlation and partition functions. Through the partition function, we show that…
What does it mean for a boundary condition to be symmetric with respect to a non-invertible global symmetry? We discuss two possible definitions in 1+1d. On the one hand, we call a boundary weakly symmetric if the symmetry defects can…
We propose a family of Abelian quantum Hall states termed the non-diagonal states, which arise at filling factors $\nu=p/2q$ for bosonic systems and $\nu=p/(p+2q)$ for fermionic systems, with $p$ and $q$ being two coprime integers.…
We construct two-dimensional non-Abelian topologically ordered states by strongly coupling arrays of one-dimensional quantum wires via interactions. In our scheme, all charge degrees of freedom are gapped, so the construction can use either…
We study nonchiral wave functions for systems with continuous spins obtained from the conformal field theory (CFT) of a free, massless boson. In contrast to the case of discrete spins, these can be treated as bosonic Gaussian states, which…
We discuss conformal field theories (CFTs) in rectangular geometries, and develop a formalism that involves a conformal boundary state for the 1+1d open system. We focus on the case of homogeneous boundary conditions (no insertion of a…
