Abstract:
The sl(2)sl(2) minimal theories are labelled by a Lie algebra pair (A,G)(A,G) where GG is of AA-DD-EE type. For these theories on a cylinder we conjecture a complete set of conformal boundary conditions labelled by the nodes of the tensor product graph AGA\otimes G. The cylinder partition functions are given by fusion rules arising from the graph fusion algebra of AGA\otimes G. We further conjecture that, for each conformal boundary condition, an integrable boundary condition exists as a solution of the boundary Yang-Baxter equation for the associated lattice model. The theory is illustrated using the (A4,D4)(A_4,D_4) or 3-state Potts model.
