چکیده
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 particular, it allows to define boundary states corresponding to both, indecomposable representations as well as their irreducible subrepresentations. [email protected] [email protected]

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...
متن کاملBoundary Logarithmic Conformal Field Theory
We discuss the effect of boundaries in boundary logarithmic conformal field theory and show, with reference to both c = −2 and c = 0 models, how they produce new features even in bulk correlation functions which are not present in the corresponding models without boundaries. We discuss the modification of Cardy’s relation between boundary states and bulk quantities. PACS codes: 11.25.Hf, 11.10.Kk
