Analytic Bootstrap for $O(N)$ Boundary Conformal Field Theories with Interacting Boundaries

Le résumé fourni par la source

We investigate $O(N)$ boundary conformal field theories (BCFTs) with boundary interactions in $d=4-ε$ and $d=3-ε$ employing the analytic bootstrap. By deriving universal constraints on conformal data, we show that infinitely many operator expansions can be expressed in terms of a finite set of inputs. Complementing the analytic bootstrap with a perturbative renormalization-group analysis, we identify totally new boundary fixed points in $d=4-ε$, including non-unitary ones, generated by a boundary cubic coupling, and compute their conformal data to leading order. Moreover, we leverage our solution in $d=3-ε$ to extract, for the first time, the boundary conformal data for the tricritical $O(N)$ model. Altogether, our approach provides a unified prescription for BCFTs with interacting boundaries and streamlines the determination of bulk and boundary operator expansions.
