Moriconi, M. & De Martino, A. (1999). Quantum Integrability of Certain Boundary Conditions. Physics Letters B, 447(3-4), pp. 292-297. doi: 10.1016/S0370-2693(98)01596-2

Abstract

We study the quantum integrability of the O(N) nonlinear $\sigma$ (nls) model and the O(N) Gross-Neveu (GN) model on the half-line. We show that the \nls model is integrable with Neumann, Dirichlet and a mixed boundary condition, and that the GN model is integrable if $\psi_+^a\x=\pm\psi_-^a\x$. We also comment on the boundary condition found by Corrigan and Sheng for the O(3) nls model.
