Boundary spectrum in the sine-Gordon model with Dirichlet boundary conditions

  • 1. Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Durham, Durham (United Kingdom)

Description

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, allowing the general method to be applied to other models. (author)
