We analyse boundary conformal field theories on random surfaces using the conformal gauge approach of David, Distler and Kawai. The crucial point is the choice of boundary conditions on the Liouville field. We discuss the Weyl anomaly cancellation for Polyakov’s non-critical open bosonic string with Neumann, Dirichlet and free boundary conditions. Dirichlet boundary conditions on the Liouville ...

a lattice boltzmann method is applied to demonstrate the comparison results of simulating natural convection in an open end cavity using different hydrodynamic and thermal boundary conditions. the prandtl number in the present simulation is 0.71, rayleigh numbers are 104,105 and 106 and viscosities are selected 0.02 and 0.05. on-grid bounce-back method with first-order accuracy and non-slip met...

We study the chromatic polynomials for m × n square-lattice strips, of width 9 ≤ m ≤ 13 (with periodic boundary conditions) and arbitrary length n (with free boundary conditions). We have used a transfer matrix approach that allowed us also to extract the limiting curves when n → ∞. In this limit we have also obtained the isolated limiting points for these square-lattice strips and checked some...

Many statistical physics models are defined on an infinite lattice by taking appropriate limits of finite lattice regions, where a key consideration is how the boundaries are defined. For several models on planar lattices, such as 3-colorings and lozenge tilings, efficient sampling algorithms are known for regions with fixed boundary conditions, where the colors or tiles around the boundary are...

We study the Pöschl-Teller equation in complex domain and deduce infinite families of TQ and Bethe ansatz equations, classified by four integers. In all these models the form of T is very simple, while Q can be explicitly written in terms of the Heun function. At particular values there is a interesting interpretation in terms of finite lattice spin2 XXZ quantum chain with ∆ = cos π L (for free...
