Integrable domain walls in ABJM theory
Charlotte Kristjansen, Dinh-Long Vu, Konstantin Zarembo
Abstract
A bstract One-point functions of local operators are studied, at weak and strong coupling, for the ABJM theory in the presence of a 1/2 BPS domain wall. In the underlying quantum spin chain the domain wall is represented by a boundary state which we show is integrable yielding a compact determinant formula for one-point functions of generic operators.
