Boundary Condition Changing Operators in Conformal Field Theory and Condensed Matter Physics
Ian Affleck
Abstract
Boundary condition changing operators in conformal field theory describe various types of "sudden switching" problems in condensed matter physics such as the X-ray edge singularity. We review this subject and give two extensions of previous work. A general derivation of a connection between the X-ray edge singularity, the Anderson orthogonality catastrophe and finite-size scaling of energies is given. The formalism is also extended to include boundstates.
