abstract
We consider the CFT of a free boson compactified on a circle, such that the compactification radius $R$ is an irrational multiple of $R_{selfdual}$. Apart from the standard Dirichlet and Neumann boundary states, Friedan suggested [1] that an additional 1-parameter family of boundary states exists. These states break U(1) symmetry of the theory, but still preserve conformal invariance. In this paper we give an explicit construction of these states, show that they are uniquely determined by the Cardy-Lewellen sewing constraints, and we study the spectrum in the `open string channel', which is given here by a continous integral with a nonnegative measure on the space of conformal weights.

The Bootstrap of Points and Lines
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.

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