Abstract:

We define an infinite class of integrable theories with a defect which are formulated as chiral defect perturbations of a conformal field theory. Such theories can be interacting in the bulk, and are purely transmitting through the defect. The examples of the sine-Gordon theory and Ising model are worked out in some detail.
