Correlation functions in a c = 1 boundary conformal field theory

چکیده
We obtain exact results for correlation functions of primary operators in the two-dimensional conformal field theory of a scalar field interacting with a critical periodic boundary potential. Amplitudes involving arbitrary bulk discrete primary fields are given in terms of SU(2) rotation coefficients while boundary amplitudes involving discrete boundary fields are independent of the boundary interaction. Mixed amplitudes involving both bulk and boundary discrete fields can also be obtained explicitly. Twoand three-point boundary amplitudes involving fields at generic momentum are determined, up to multiplicative constants, by the band spectrum in the open-string sector of the theory.

Singletons and Logarithmic Cft in Ads/cft Correspondence
We discuss a possible relation between singletons in AdS space and logarithmic conformal field theories at the boundary of AdS. It is shown that the bulk Lagrangian for singleton field (singleton dipole) induces on the boundary the two-point correlation function for logarithmic pair. Bulk interpretation of mixing between logarithmic operator D and zero mode operator C under the scale transforma...
متن کاملTwo-Point Functions and Logarithmic Boundary Operators in Boundary Logarithmic Conformal Field Theories
Amongst conformal field theories, there exist logarithmic conformal field theories such as cp,1 models. We have investigated cp,q models with a boundary in search of logarithmic theories and have found logarithmic solutions of two-point functions in the context of the Coulomb gas picture. We have also found the relations between coefficients in the two-point functions and correlation functions ...
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

متن کاملLogarithmic Correlation Functions in Liouville Field Theory
We study four-point correlation functions with logarithmic behaviour in Liouville field theory on a sphere, which consist of one kind of the local operators. We study them as non-integrated correlation functions of the gravitational sector of two-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to an ordinary conformal field theory in the conformal gauge. We also examine, in the (p, q) minimal conformal fie...
