Generalisations of the Coleman-Thun mechanism and boundary reflection factors
نویسندگان
چکیده
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, which have implications for attempts to close the boundary bootstrap in more general models. We also explain how different boundary conditions can sometimes share the same fundamental reflection factor, by relating the phenomenon to potential ambiguities in the interpretation of certain poles. In the case discussed, this ambiguity can be lifted by specifying the sign of a bulkboundary coupling. While the recipe we employ for the association of poles with general on-shell diagrams is empirically correct, we stress that a justification on the basis of more fundamental principles remains a challenge for future work. 1 e-mail: [email protected] 2 e-mail: [email protected] 3 e-mail: [email protected]

Boundary Spectrum in the sine-Gordon Model with Dirichlet Boundary Conditions
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 Coleman-Thun mechanism plays an important role in the analysis. Two basic lemmas are introduced which should hold for any 1+1-dimensional boundary field theory, all...
متن کاملBoundary Bound States in Affine Toda Field Theory
We demonstrate that the generalization of the Coleman-Thun mechanism may be applied to the situation, when considering scattering processes in 1+1-dimensions in the presence of reflecting boundaries. For affine Toda field theories we find that the binding energies of the bound states are always half the sum over a set of masses having the same colour with respect to the bicolouration of the Dyn...
متن کاملBoundary scattering in the SU(N) principal chiral model on the half-line with conjugating boundary conditions
We investigate the SU(N) Principal Chiral Model on a half-line with a particular set of boundary conditions (BCs). In previous work these BCs have been shown to correspond to boundary scattering matrices (K-matrices) which are representation conjugating and whose matrix structure corresponds to one of the symmetric spaces SU(N)/SO(N) or SU(N)/Sp(N). Starting from the bulk particle spectrum and ...
متن کاملResponse of GN Type II and Type III Theories on Reflection and Transmission Coefficients at the Boundary Surface of Micropolar Thermoelastic Media with Two Temperatures
In the present article, the reflection and transmission of plane waves at the boundary of thermally conducting micropolar elastic media with two temperatures is studied. The theory of thermoelasticity with and without energy dissipation is used to investigate the problem. The expressions for amplitudes ratios of reflected and transmitted waves at different angles of incident wave are obtained. ...
متن کاملReflection and Transmission at the Boundary of Two Couple Stress Generalized Thermoelastic Solids
In this paper the reflection and transmission at a plane interface between two different couple stress generalized thermoelastic solid half spaces in context of Loard-Shulman(LS)[1967] and Green-Lindsay(GL)[1972] theories in welded contact has been investigated. Amplitude ratios of various reflected and transmitted waves are obtained due to incidence of a set of coupled longitudinal waves and c...
