 Okay, I think the mic is on now. All right, well, let me begin by thanking the organizers for the invitation to come to this beautiful place. I've been really enjoying all the talks so far. And I would like to talk about boundary and boundary and playing the fact criticality in the 3DON model. So I have to apologize from the very beginning that there will not be very much quantum in my talk, but there will be criticality. So let me begin by explaining what do I mean by boundary criticality. So imagine you have some bulk system that is tuned to the bulk critical point. And for definiteness, let's assume that is described by conformal field theory. And suppose I want to study this system in the presence of a boundary. For instance, I might be interested in correlation functions of operators on the boundary or mixed correlation functions involving operators on the boundary and in the bulk. So that's the problem. And there are a few general things that can be said right away. The first is that in general, the operator spectrum on the boundary is distinct from that in the bulk. So operators on the boundary have scaling dimensions delta hat, which are distinct from the scaling dimensions in the bulk and the fusion rules are also distinct and so forth. So that's the first comment. Second comment is that given a bulk universality class, the boundary universality class is not unique. They can be distinct boundary universality classes corresponding to the same bulk universality class. And you can tune between those boundary universality classes by changing the details of the Hamiltonian near the surface. And we will see some examples very shortly. Now, you know, this problem of boundary criticality is very old. It goes at least to the 70s and 80s, where it was considered in the context of classical stat mac. But there's been renewed interest in this problem coming mainly from two directions. The first is just improved understanding of conformal field theories coming in part from the numerical conformal bootstrap program. The other direction is from topological phases. So we know that the topological phases are gap in the bulk. They have a finite correlation length and they often host some kind of protected boundary state. And for a very long time, you know, think of, I don't know, topological insulator. For a very long time, it was thought that the protection of the boundary state relies crucially on the bulk being gap. But later it was understood that there are some cases where actually the boundary mode survives in some form even when the bulk gap closes. And this goes under the name of gapless topological phases. And such gapless topological phases are often quite difficult to quite challenging to understand. You know, they lie squarely in the domain of this boundary criticality. So my interest in the subject came from the direction of this gapless topological phases and of course, quantum states of matter. But today I'll be mostly talking about just classical step-map model where I realized that something has been, some important qualitative aspects have been missed in the literature. And in fact, I'll be talking about the simplest classical step-map model there is which is the classical ON model, right? So I will be mostly considering bulk dimension which is three and so this is a cubic lattice. And there are classical spins that is length one classical vectors sitting on the sides of this lattice. They have n components and they're coupled with nearest neighbor ferromagnetic interaction. And I want to consider two geometries. A semi-infinite geometry where there is a boundary and I will allow the coupling on the boundary to be distinct from the coupling in the bulk. And the second geometry is this plane defect geometry where instead of a boundary I have a defect plane and again I allow the exchange coupling between spins on the plane to be distinct from the coupling in the bulk. So I'd like to understand the phase diagram of this system. Let's begin with this case of a semi-infinite geometry. Well, if the bulk dimension D is greater than three then the phase diagram is essentially understood. So first of all, what is the phase diagram in the bulk? There is a paramagnetic phase of high temperature. There is a paramagnetic ordered phase at low temperature and there is a critical temperature, Tc, here. Now let's ask what happens on the boundary. Well, if the surface coupling K1, if the surface exchange coupling is not too large then the boundary will order at the same temperature as the bulk. And this is known as the ordinary boundary universality class. However, if you make the surface coupling large enough then the surface can order at a higher temperature than the bulk. So as we load the temperature, first we go into a phase where the surface is already ordered and the bulk is still disordered. And then subsequently, once we reach the bulk critical temperature, the bulk orders in the presence of an already ordered surface. So this is known as the extraordinary boundary universality class. And finally, there is this multi-critical point known as the special boundary universality class. Each of these classes is a distinct boundary universality class corresponds to a distinct boundary conformal field theory. All the exponents are different for them and so forth. All right, so this is the situation in dimension greater than three and it's largely understood, yes? Is it a very, very suffocated one? Where? Is it a very suffocated one? I believe it's actually here, but it's not very important. This critical value, of course, will depend on dimensionality and it's order one. Yeah. And the extraordinary case is going to be seen larger than the three to two times three to two times three. Well, sorry, what? Oh, so there was a very critical thing. Well, maybe here, very good. Yeah, so I think the question was what is, whether the critical temperature in the extraordinary regime is larger than the bulk critical temperature. So there are two critical temperatures here, right? There is a temperature at which the surface orders and it is higher. Oh, okay, let's try that. Yes, and then there is a temperature at which the bulk orders, right? So these two temperatures are different. No, I mean the temperature I think is five. No, it's the same temperature, right? Because this is some bulk property. You can think about order parameter very, very far away from the boundary and when that order parameter acquires an expectation value, this is the bulk phase transition, it doesn't really care about what happens on the bone. Boundary, like the fact that the external, because the boundary already ordered. In the thermodynamic limit, no. In finite size system, yes. All right, so this is what happens in three dimensions. There is one more interesting point, which is that so far I've considered the situation when there is no symmetry breaking. Either on the boundary or in the bulk. Now, let's imagine that you actually break the symmetry on the boundary by applying a magnetic field on the boundary. Well, then it's believed that you have just one boundary universality class for any value of the boundary exchange coupling. And this is the so-called normal universality class. Don't ask me. Well, actually these names have a history going back to criticality and fluids, but so this is the nomenclature. And it turns out that if the bulk dimension D is greater than three, then the extraordinary universality class here without the symmetry breaking field is essentially the same as the normal universality class. That is, it doesn't matter whether you break the symmetry on the boundary explicitly or spontaneously, once you have a boundary order parameter, you essentially have the same universality class of the transition. So this is essentially understood. Now, the interesting thing is what happens if the bulk is three-dimensional. So this will be the subject of my talk. And well, if you have ising spins, then essentially the same story goes through. You have a same phase diagram. You have this surface phase transition where the two-dimensional surface undergoes an ising, two-dimensional ising transition. Everything essentially the same. Now, if you have x-wise spins, that is n equal to two, the situation is already more interesting because you know that in two-dimensions, you cannot have a true long range order. You can only have quasi-long range order. So this phase here at large surface exchange is a quasi-long range ordered phase. And this green line is a two-dimensional costal stylist transition. So now you ask the question, okay, what happens when the bulk orders out of this surface phase with quasi-long range order? And turns out, yes, Liang? Well, yeah, the question from Liang is when I say extraordinary transition, whether I am referring to transition on the boundary or transition in the bulk. And well, this extraordinary transition is exactly when the bulk is tuned to the bulk critical point. So the bulk has an infinite correlation length here. And I'm interested in calculating correlators on the boundary or involving both the boundary and the bulk when the bulk is already critical. It's a boundary in the gapless system. Yeah, the bulk, definitely. If the symmetry is broken in the bulk spontaneously, then of course you also have an order parameter on the boundary, but the scaling of that order parameter, you can ask if you go a little bit below TC here, how does the boundary magnetization scale in T minus TC or TC minus T? And it will be a different exponent depending whether you are here or here or here. Even, well, once T is smaller than TC, bulk magnetization induces a surface magnetization, of course, because it's proximity, proximity effect, if you wish. Yeah, are there questions? Okay, so let's continue. So the question is what happens along this orange line and in the vicinity of this orange line in this case? And this question actually has not been answered in the literature. There have been some discussions and actually some suggestion that perhaps along this orange line, even though you don't have a long range order in the bulk, maybe the bulk fluctuations induce a true long range order on the surface. No theorem against that, as far as we know, it would have been kind of an interesting way to bypass Merman Wagner. Well, of course, Merman Wagner does not strictly apply here, but it turns out what I showed is that doesn't quite happen, although the system gets close to a long range order along this orange line, but the spin-spin correlation function on the boundary doesn't quite go to a constant. Instead of the case very, very slowly as a power of logarithm of the separation along the boundary and this power is universal. So I'll explain where this result comes from. It's a consequence of a renormalization group analysis. So this is already kind of interesting, but let's continue. Yeah, and I call this extraordinary log universality class in order to distinguish it from the conventional extraordinary class where the correlator on the boundary goes to a constant at large separation. Okay, now let's discuss what happens when N is greater than two. So here, you think maybe N equal to Heisenberg spins, right? So here we know that when the temperature is above the bulk critical temperature, the boundary, the two-dimensional boundary will have a finite correlation length. You can have neither quasi-long range nor a long range work. So it's completely consistent that the phase diagram could look like this. They're just a single boundary universality class, the ordinary universality class for any surface exchange K1. However, it's also not ruled out that you could have two distinct stable boundary universality classes and the special transition between them, even though all of this would connect to the same phases above and below the bulk critical temperature. So which of these two scenarios is real life? And if you look at the literature, I think people assume that this minimal scenario has to be real life. Well, that turns out to be wrong. Turns out that the answer depends on the value of N. If N is large, but finite, indeed this minimal scenario is realized. However, let's be serious and let's treat N as a continuous parameter. Then it turns out that when N is slightly above two, you can show convincingly that the second scenario here is realized and you have the extraordinary log universality class where again the spin-spin correlation function on the boundary decays in this logarithmic manner. You might say, oh, what is this limit? N is really an integer. Well, from numerics, it seems pretty convincing that N equal three is actually in this regime and I'll discuss that shortly. Yeah. So let's discuss where all of these results come from and they come from the following renormalization group analysis. So what you would like to understand is what happens in the regime when the surface coupling K1 is large, that is there is a possibility of some kind of extraordinary phase. And well, in this regime, there is a very strong tendency in the surface layer towards local, at least local magnetic order. So let's describe the surface layer by the following nonlinear sigma model, two-dimensional nonlinear sigma model and the coupling G will be small when K1 is large. And before we, of course, the interesting question is what happens when this two-dimensional surface layer is coupled to the bulk fluctuations? But before we answer that question, let's remind ourselves, if we just had a purely two-dimensional layer, what would happen? What is the IR fate of this theory? And we know very well, Polikov has told us that this coupling constant G, even if it starts out small, in the infrared it runs to infinity and this signals the appearance of a finite correlation length in accordance with Merman-Wagner theorem. Okay, so how is, now the real question is how is this RG flow modified when we couple the surface layer to the rest of the system? So let's try to answer that question. So this is the action for the surface layer. Then for the rest of the system, the rest of the system is going to be described just by the bulk or three model with the ordinary fixed point, boundary fixed point. And finally, there will be some coupling between the order parameter N in the top layer and the boundary field of the remaining system. So that's this coupling. And well, let's work around the fixed point with G equal to zero, so it'll be coupling. And let's actually begin by just freezing the fluctuations of this surface order parameter. So G strictly zero, then this surface order parameter of course acts just as a symmetry breaking field for the rest of the system, boundary symmetry breaking field. And as I told you, the system will flow to what I call the normal boundary fixed point. Right, remember, normal boundary fixed point is one where I apply a symmetry, explicit symmetry breaking field on the boundary. And interestingly, a lot is actually known about this normal boundary fixed point. In particular, we know leading operators appearing in the operator product expansion of the bulk or the parameter, right? So imagine I take a bulk or the parameter and I take it close to the boundary, I should be able to expand it in terms of boundary operators. And this is this bulk to boundary operator product expansion. And I have to distinguish between components of the bulk field parallel and perpendicular to the symmetry breaking field on the surface. So I take the symmetry breaking field on the surface to be along the Nth direction. So then the component phi N, well, it should acquire some profile, right? Some expectation value away from the boundary and it's a power law profile just given by the bulk exponent of phi. And so the identity operator appears here in the operator product expansion of phi N. And the next operator is believed to be so-called displacement operator, which has a protected dimension of exactly three. It doesn't get renormalized. And for the transverse components of the order parameter, the leading operator here, again turns out to be a protected operator, which has a scaling dimension of exactly two. This protected operator is an N minus or N minus one vector. And we call it the tilt operator. All right, so these are known facts. Now these coefficients A, B and B actually are universal once you normalize your bulk and boundary operators. Appropriately, we don't know this coefficients exactly, but we have some knowledge about them from large N expansion, from Monte Carlo and from numerical conformal bootstrap that I'll describe later. Okay, so this is the normal fixed point, right? So this is what happens when they just freeze when they just freeze the fluctuations of this field N. Now I'd like to make the coupling constant G of the nonlinear sigma model finite, small but finite, and allow for fluctuations of N. Well, so there are these fluctuations pi of N. And well, naturally, these fluctuations will have to couple to the operators of the normal boundary fixed point that I introduced here. And in fact, the only coupling that you can write down is this coupling pi dot T, where remember T appears in the operator product expansion of the transverse component of bulk or the parameter. Okay, so this is actually the action I'll consider. Now you might say there's something very strange here. You start with an O-N invariant action and then you work around a fixed point where N, which breaks the O-N symmetry to O-N minus one. So you don't have explicit O-N symmetry anymore. You only have explicit O-N minus one symmetry. So how to restore the O-N symmetry where is the O-N symmetry hiding? And turns out that the O-N symmetry actually fixes the value of this parameter S to be expressed in terms of the universal constants in the appearing in the O-P. So S is not a pre-parameter, but is rather fixed like this. And there is a rather simple argument for this, which is again, imagine you freeze the fluctuations of N and take N to point along the north pole, well, then the bulk or the parameter, the expression value of the bulk or the parameter will also point along the north pole. Now what happens if you rotate the surface field a little bit, the bulk field should also rotate just by O-N symmetry, but so it should acquire a profile like this. Okay, but you should also be able, if it's a small rotation, you should be able to do perturbation theory in pi to obtain the bulk or the parameter profile. So it reduces to this correlator. This correlator turns out to be completely fixed by conformal symmetry up to the O-P coefficient B-T. And then doing this integral here, you get the relation that S is expressed in terms of A-sigma B. So this is the action I'll be considering then. And now we are in business and you see there's only one tunable parameter in this action which is the coupling constant G of the non-linear sigma model. So all that remains is just to compute the better function of this parameter G. And while there is a contribution to the better function just from the non-linear sigma model that we discussed a little earlier, Polikov's contribution, and it's right here, this N minus two G squared, but there is a new contribution coming from the coupling to the bulk. And it comes simply from this very simple diagram for the two-point function of N. Why? Yeah, so I'm working usual perturbation theory where I expand N around the north pole and this is the, yeah, good question. Right, so this diagram is very easy to compute and what it does, it gives you a new contribution to the coefficient of the better function of G squared term, which is related to this coupling S. So now, oh, and one more comment, the anomalous dimension of the field N actually remains the same as it was in the stricter 2D non-linear sigma model. Doesn't get affected by this coupling to the bulk to this order, yes? You just expand. You use this expression for N and you expand the D mu N squared, right? So N has length one, so that's why it's non-linear. And that's why when you expand in pi, you get this extra, you get this extra here. All right, so now we are in business. We just need to analyze the consequences of this randomization group flow and the consequences just depend on the sine of alpha, namely if alpha is positive, then G will run to zero logarithmically in the infrared. This is like, you know, pi to the fourth theory in four dimensions and integrating this RG flow together with this anomalous dimension for N, which is order G, you exactly recover this correlation function on the surface that decays as a power of logarithm and the power Q is given in terms of alpha like this. All right, so this is my advertised extraordinary log fixed point. This is how to understand. On the other hand, if alpha is less than zero, then we're kind of back to the situation similar to one we had exactly in two dimension where the G equals zero fixed point is unstable. Where does it flow to? Well, we will discuss further. All right, so the main question now becomes whether alpha is positive or negative. And for general values of N, I can't give you an exact answer, but there are some limits that I understand. First, if N is equal to two, then the only contribution to alpha comes from this coupling to the bulk. And this contribution is manifestly positive. So for N equal to two, we definitely have the extraordinary log phase being realized. That's good because for N equal to two, remember the topology of the phase diagram, the KT transition required a separate extraordinary phase. And here we learned that this phase must be of the extraordinary log character. On the other hand, when N goes to infinity, we definitely alpha becomes negative. We can come, there are one, yes. So for N going to infinity, I can compute this A sigma and BT, this universal constants in a one over N expansion. And then alpha is given by this expression, so it's negative. So alpha has to change sign as N increases from two to infinity. And the minimal assumption, which actually seems to be supported also by numerical conformal bootstrap that I'll show is that alpha changes sign just once at some value N equal to Nc. So then for N smaller than Nc, the extraordinary log phase is realized for N greater than Nc, we don't quite know what happens. All right, yes. So now this is all theory, but can we check this numerically? And actually shortly after my, and of course, the most interesting question is, what is the value of Nc? And in particular, is N equal to three above Nc or below? Because for N equal to two, we know that we have to have the extraordinary log phase for N equal to three, we don't quite know. So shortly after my paper came out, there was a detailed study of the problem for N equal to three for the Heidenberg model by Francesca Paris and Tolden. And he actually found a special transition on the boundary by looking at the Binder ratio and extracted boundary exponents at the special transition. And he also studied the regime of large surface coupling. And in this regime, he found that his numerics was consistent with the extraordinary log universality class. He saw a stiffness that diverges logarithmically, which is exactly what one would expect for the extraordinary log class. And he also saw a two point function that roughly decays as a power of logarithm. And he actually extracted this power. And from this power, he extracted alpha. And this is the value of alpha that he got for N equal to three. And then this group, Hu, Dang and Ut have repeated also the calculation for N equal to two for the X, Y model. And again, they found that for the large surface exchange, the results were consistent with the extraordinary log universality class. And they extracted this universal constant alpha and it's given here 0.27. Okay, so this is kind of nice. So in particular, it means that Nc is greater than three. This extraordinary phase for N equal to three. Now, as you remember, a prediction of my theory was that this number alpha should be given in terms of this universal quantities, A sigma and Bt for the normal boundary universality class. That is the universality class in a symmetry breaking field. So I convinced Francesco to also do the simulations with the explicit symmetry breaking field on the boundary and extract this universal coefficients. And after he did that, and took the ratio, this is what he obtained. So it's actually the agreement is quite good. Specifically, especially given the fact that it's very hard to fit things to this power of log. So it's quite surprising that the agreement is so good. And then together with J. Padajasi, Abhijit Krishnan, Elia Gruzburg and Marco Mineri, they also studied the normal boundary universality class using numerical conformal bootstrap. And they also obtained estimates for this universal constants, A sigma and Bt. And they're given here. So it's actually, this is not a super accurate method. It's not like the bootstrap one has in the bulk with the pop point function. But again, the agreement is actually not bad. And we expect the agreement to get better actually as n increases. So from these calculations, while here it looks like nc, we can put in any value of n. So it looks like here nc is of order is something like five. Actually from monomerics, we believe it's probably somewhere between four and five. I think there is a question in the chat from Andrei. Oh, I can also open it up actually here from the question from the, on the, on the slide. On the slide, on the nc alpha square, why on the same slide? Yeah. So let me repeat the question. So Andrei is asking about this alpha is given here, but also for n to infinity, I write it like this. So this result here comes from computing this a sigma nbt in the large n limit, which can be done by studying the ON model with a symmetry breaking field on the boundary in the large n limit. And this is the result to first sub leading order in one over n. There is, there are also order, there are also even more sub leading terms that I haven't included here. So this is only true for n going to infinity. Yeah. I hope that that clears things up. So yeah, just to mention this bootstrap work here was done with, was done with my wonderful collaborators who taught me all about numerical conformal bootstrap, J. Padayazi, who is a graduate student of Ilya Gruzburg at Ohio State, Mark Aminari, who was a postdoc at Lausanne and now has moved to postdoc position in Geneva and Abi Krishnan is my career student at MIT. All right. So this is about values of NC. Now we can ask what happens as we cross NC? What happens as we get into this regime where alpha is negative? And well, here the physics will be in the vicinity of NC, the physics will be controlled by the next term and the beta function for G, right? Because the first term vanishes at n equal to NC. And the physics will depend on the sign of the subleading term. So on the sign of B. And well, there are two scenarios. If the sign is positive, then what happens is we find an infrared unstable fixed point for n just below NC at weak coupling. And we expect that this fixed point just corresponds to the special transition between the extraordinary log phase and the ordinary phase that we know exists for n equal to two. And then we expect that it just continues, moves to weaker and weaker coupling until at n equal NC it collides with the extraordinary log fixed point and annihilates. So that for n greater than NC, we only have the ordinary fixed point left. So this is the simplest scenario. If this coefficient B is negative, the situation is more complicated. Namely, this extraordinary fixed point moves away from G equal to zero for n slightly above NC. And then presumably it would have again to annihilate with a special fixed point at some yet larger value of n. Because at n equal infinity, we know that only the ordinary fixed point is left. Nevertheless, at this point, we cannot compute B for arbitrary value of n. So in principle, this scenario could be allowed. Now what we, so what we want to know is B at n equal NC. And that's hard, but what we, yeah, so this is again the picture for the two scenarios. Now in the n, and this is the K1 over K plane, the red line is the special transition. Yeah, so we don't know the value of B at n equal to NC but actually recently we were able to calculate it together with ABI in the n to infinity limit and you see it's positive. So it's actually pointing towards this simple scenario. In fact, if you look just at a two-dimensional non-linear sigma model, it's given by this expression. So including the coupling to the bulk only makes it more positive. You see it's four thirds instead of one. So yeah, so this scenario is favored and it also seems to be favored by the numerics, although probably more study is necessary. How am I doing on time? Yeah, so in the remaining five minutes, let me very quickly talk about the other problem, the other geometry that of a defect plane. So, all right, so same problem, but actually the phenomenology is a little bit different here. So here, on this defect plane, I have this coupling K1 and there is one point where we know exactly what happens, which is when K1 is equal to K, right? That's the situation with no defect. And that situation just corresponds to a bulk ON model and perturbing away from K1 equal to K just corresponds to inducing the five squared operator or the thermal operator on this plane. And this is a relevant perturbation. So it's going to drive you away from this K1 equal to K fixed point, but it's the only relevant perturbation at that point. So this is actually the special fixed point in this case is K1 equal to K. So if you have the special fixed point, it's natural to assume that different signs of perturbation away from it will lead to different phases, which I think was not appreciated in the literature. Somehow people may be thought that you have ordinary phase on both sides for N greater than two. But so actually this is the natural phase diagram with the extraordinary phase being realized for any value of N. There is no, we don't expect a critical N in this case. And indeed that will be confirmed by RG analysis. So what are these fixed points for the plane defect case? Well, the ordinary fixed point is quite simple. This defect plane just cuts the system into two halves and each of the exposed boundaries now has an ordinary universality class and the coupling between them turns out to be irrelevant. Same with the normal fixed point. If I apply a symmetry breaking field on this plane, it just cuts the system into two normal boundaries. And again, the coupling between these two boundaries is irrelevant. Now what about, yeah, so for the Ising case, then the extraordinary fixed point will be just the same as this norm. Now what about for N greater equal than two, right? So we have to write a theory which is along the same lines as I wrote for a semi-infinite system. But now the order parameter on this plane defect can couple to the tilt operators from both sides of the interface. And because of that, there is this extra factor of two in the better function here. And it turns out that even when N goes to infinity, alpha remains positive. So alpha is expected to be positive here for any value of N and the extraordinary log phase will be realized for any N greater equal than two. All right, so the phase diagram is, as I said here. Now something actually very interesting happens when N is equal to infinity in this model in this plane defect, which is that this entire line becomes a line of fixed points. There is a exactly marginal boundary coupling at N equal to infinity. And the exponents on the boundary change as you change this boundary coupling, which I parameterized by mu here running from zero to one. And then at one end of this line, you have the ordinary at the other one, you have, well, extraordinary or normal. And then at mu equal one-half, you have the special. And then the scaling dimensions on the boundary change as you change mu. But this is only the case, you know, this is kind of special case N equal to infinity. Once you make N large, but finite, you can calculate the flow of mu, the better function for mu. Actually you can calculate it to order one over N exactly. And we did this with Abbe, kind of nice exercise. And it turns out that this line of fixed points is lifted to just ordinary, special and well normal. And then the approach to this normal is exactly this quadratic one that we expected from the other RG approach. So this is very non-trivial check of the RG that I described that works for any N and this large N calculation that only works for N large. All right, let's see. So I guess I'm running out of time. There is this, yeah, so for these problems with the boundary, there is an analog in two, we know that for two-dimensional CFT, there is the central charge and the central charge decreases monotonously under renormalization group flow. So for this problems with the boundary, there is some similar boundary central charge that increases monotonously under boundary RG flow. And for this line of fixed points, we were able to calculate these charges. But maybe I'll skip this part. So let me conclude by saying that, well, the simplest classical static model, the OIN model, actually the story of boundary criticality was not fully understood. I think in the classical model, numerics, analytics and conformal bootstrap are now converging, but there are still things to understand, namely precise value of NC and yeah, and well, which of these two scenarios is realized. So more Monte Carlo and bootstrap I think will be helpful. But there are also quantum analogs of this boundary story that there is a lot of Monte Carlo on, but which are not fully understood analytically. So that would be a separate story that unfortunately I do not have time for. Thank you. So I noticed that when you're talking about the boundary, you're only considering homogeneous transitions in the ising nematic iron-based superconductors. There are these persistent claims that there's actually a surface smectic at temperatures about the ising nematic transition. That would be like an n equal one because it's fixed by ising. And could there be actually finite momentum transitions which would go above? Finite momentum, so density wave transitions. That's what they keep on claiming happens and it's not understood by. In principle, in a general microscopic model, yes, but in this particular simple model, no. Well, this is the same type of problem. This is the boundary conformal field theory except in two dimensions, well, in one plus one dimension, we know much more because of verisorosymmetry and because, yeah, there are minimal models and we'll see equal one theory is essentially understood in higher dimensions, it's much harder, right? So this is kind of, even in the simplest stat-max model in three dimensions, already it's much harder to even nail down the phase diagram. So this is kind of an attempt. Yeah. Why is it plus minus and minus? There is some integral that needs to be done and this is the precision to which I was able to make the, to do the integral. Now I suspect that it's actually a four thirds. I wasn't able to do the integral analytically. Now in this plain defect problem, you can also ask what is the G cubed term and there we do know it analytically and it turns out to be five thirds. So I have a very strong suspicion that for this semi-infinite geometry, it is exactly four thirds, yeah. Any other question? Okay. If not, let's sign it again. Hi. I guess there is a question in the chat. What do you want from this? One thing more. Yeah, I don't know. Do I? Again, I can maybe answer during the Q and A session.
