We propose a new rule for boundary renormalization group flows in fixed-point free coset models. Our proposal generalizes the absorption of boundary spin'' principle formulated by Affleck and Ludwig to a large class of perturbations in boundary conformal field theories. We illustrate the rule in the case of unitary minimal models.

### Defect lines and boundary flows

• Mathematics
• 2004
Using the properties of defect lines, we study boundary renormalisation group flows. We find that when there exists a flow between maximally symmetric boundary conditions a and b then there also

### Landau-Ginzburg description of boundary critical phenomena in two dimensions

• Physics
• 2004
The Virasoro minimal models with boundary are described in the Landau-Ginzburg theory by introducing a boundary potential, function of the boundary field value. The ground state field configurations

### Fusion of interfaces in Landau-Ginzburg models: a functorial approach

• Mathematics
• 2021
We investigate the fusion of B-type interfaces in two-dimensional supersymmetric Landau-Ginzburg models. In particular, we propose to describe the fusion of an interface in terms of a fusion functor

### Holographic RG flows for Kondo-like impurities

• Physics
• 2020
Boundary, defect, and interface RG flows, as exemplified by the famous Kondo model, play a significant role in the theory of quantum fields. We study in detail the holographic dual of a non-conformal

### D-branes and matrix factorisations in supersymmetric coset models

• Mathematics
• 2010
Matrix factorisations describe B-type boundary conditions in $\mathcal{N} = 2$ supersymmetric Landau-Ginzburg models. At the infrared fixed point, they correspond to superconformal boundary states.

### Defect loops in gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten models

• Physics, Mathematics
• 2010
We consider loop observables in gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten models, and study the action of renormalization group flows on them. In the WZW model based on a compact Lie group G, we analyze at the

### Bulk flows in Virasoro minimal models with boundaries

• Environmental Science
• 2009
The behaviour of boundary conditions under relevant bulk perturbations is studied for the Virasoro minimal models. In particular, we consider the bulk deformation by the least relevant bulk field
