چکیده
This lecture note covers topics on boundary conformal field theory, modular transformations and the Verlinde formula, and boundary logarithmic CFT. An introductory review on CFT with boundary and a discussion of its applications to logarithmic cases are given. LCFT at c = −2 is mainly discussed. This article is based on the lectures at the International Summer School on Logarithmic Conformal Field Theory and Its Applications, Sept. 2001, IPM, Tehran, I.R. Iran.

UH - 08 / 02 Boundary States in c = − 2 Logarithmic Conformal Field Theory
Starting from first principles, a constructive method is presented to obtain boundary states in conformal field theory. It is demonstrated that this method is well suited to compute the boundary states of logarithmic conformal field theories. By studying the logarithmic conformal field theory with central charge c = −2 in detail, we show that our method leads to consistent results. In particula...

متن کاملTwo-Point Functions and Boundary States in Boundary Logarithmic Conformal Field Theories
Amongst conformal field theories, there exist logarithmic conformal field theories such as cp,1 models, various WZNW models, and a large variety of statistical models. It is well known that these theories generally contain a Jordan cell structure, which is a reducible but indecomposable representation. Our main aim in this thesis is to address the results and prospects of boundary logarithmic c...

In logarithmic conformal field theory, primary fields come together with logarithmic partner fields on which the stress-energy tensor acts non-diagonally. Exploiting this fact and global conformal invariance of two-and three-point functions, operator product expansions of logarithmic operators in arbitrary rank logarithmic conformal field theory are derived.
