We discuss conformal manifolds for conformal field theories with boundaries or defects. Using conformal perturbation theory we derive constraints on coefficients appearing in the boundary operator product expansion and three-point functions…

Several years ago, it was proposed that the usual solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation associated to Lie groups can be deduced in a systematic way from four-dimensional gauge theory. In the present paper, we extend this picture, fill in…

We find the spectrum of boundary bound states for the sine-Gordon model with Dirichlet boundary conditions, closing the bootstrap and providing a complete description of all the poles in the boundary reflection factors. The boundary…

Coherent state path integrals are applied to a many-body problem for non-relativistic electrons in a central potential and an external magnetic field; however, in comparison to previous coherent state path integrals, we definitely fix the…

The paper is devoted to the Hamiltonian treatment of classical and quantum properties of Liouville field theory on a timelike strip in 2d Minkowski space. We give a complete description of classical solutions regular in the interior of the…

The natural constraints for the weak-field approximation to composite gravity, which is obtained by expressing the gauge vector fields of the Yang-Mills theory based on the Lorentz group in terms of tetrad variables and their derivatives,…

Integrable field theories in two dimensions are known to originate as defect theories of 4d Chern-Simons and as symmetry reductions of the 4d anti-self-dual Yang-Mills equations. Based on ideas of Costello, it has been proposed in work of…

The purpose of this talk is to sketch some recent progress which has been made in calculating non-perturbatively the reflection factors for the sinh-Gordon model restricted to a half-line by integrable boundary conditions. The essential…

The concept of fusing rules for defects in a^(1)_r affine Toda field theories is introduced in the classical and quantum contexts. This idea is employed in finding a new transmission matrix for the a^(1)_3 theory which obeys the triangle…

The field-theoretical approach is reviewed. Perturbations in general relativity as well as in an arbitrary $D$-dimensional metric theory are studied on a background, which is a solution (arbitrary) of the theory. Lagrangian for…

This thesis expands the available techniques at weak coupling by investigating the linear space of Feynman integrals and the role that (super)symmetry plays in reducing the number of integrals necessary to calculate correlators in the…

This thesis considers massive field theories in 1+1 dimensions known as affine Toda quantum field theories. We first consider the boundary sine-Gordon model, deriving a complete picture of the boundary bound state structure for general…

This paper describes perturbative framework, on the basis of closed-time-path formalism, for studying quasiuniform relativistic quantum field systems near equilibrium and nonequilibrium quasistationary systems. At the first part, starting…

We propose that at low energy four dimensional bosonic strings may form bound states where they become bundled together much like the filaments in a cable. We inspect the properties of these bundles in terms of their extrinsic geometry.…

An asymptotic theory is developed for general non-integrable boundary quantum field theory in 1+1 dimensions based on the Langrangean description. Reflection matrices are defined to connect asymptotic states and are shown to be related to…

This article provides a cartoon of the quantization of General Relativity using the ideas of effective field theory. These ideas underpin the use of General Relativity as a theory from which precise predictions are possible, since they show…

We consider free higher derivative theories of scalars and Dirac fermions in the presence of a boundary in general dimension. We establish a method for finding consistent conformal boundary conditions in these theories by removing certain…

A simple, basic, argument is given, based solely on energy-momentum considerations to recover conditions under which a_r affine or conformal Toda field theories can support defects of integrable type. Associated triangle relations are…

We make a complete pole analysis of the reflection factors of the boundary scaling Lee-Yang model. In the process we uncover a number of previously unremarked mechanisms for the generation of simple poles in boundary reflection factors,…

The dynamics of quantum field theories on bounded domains requires the introduction of boundary conditions on the quantum fields. We address the problem from a very general perspective by using charge conservation as a fundamental principle…
