abstract

We analyze boundary states in the SU(2)$_k$ WZW model using open string field theory in the level truncation approximation. We develop algorithms that allow effective calculation of action in this model and we search for classical solutions of the equations of motion, which are conjectured to describe boundary states. We find three types of solutions. First, there are real solutions that represent maximally symmetric Cardy boundary states and we show that they satisfy certain selection rules regarding their SU(2) parameters. Next, we find complex solutions that go beyond the SU(2) model and describe maximally symmetric SL(2,$\mathbb C$) boundary conditions. Finally, we find exotic solutions that correspond to symmetry-breaking boundary states. Most of real exotic solutions describe the so-called B-brane boundary states, but some may represent yet unknown boundary states.

  1. The Bootstrap of Points and Lines

    hep-th 2025-06 accept novelty 8.0 of 10

    A mixed-correlator bootstrap for 2D boundary CFTs produces new rigorous bounds on boundary entropy, bulk-to-boundary OPE coefficients, and gap spectra, tested on Ising and free boson and applied to su(2)_2 WZW.

  2. Higher Structures on Boundary Conformal Manifolds: Higher Berry Phase and Boundary Conformal Field Theory

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A 2-form higher Berry connection on boundary conformal manifolds is defined from boundary-condition-changing operator OPE phases; it reproduces the B-field and WZ term in string theory examples.
