Abstract
Our main aim in this thesis is to address the results and prospects of boundary logarithmic conformal field theories: theories with boundaries that contain the above Jordan cell structure. We have investigated c_{p,q} boundary theory in search of logarithmic theories and have found logarithmic solutions of two-point functions in the context of the Coulomb gas picture. Other two-point functions have also been studied in the free boson construction of BCFT with SU(2)_k symmetry. In addition, we have analyzed and obtained the boundary Ishibashi state for a rank-2 Jordan cell structure [hep-th/0103064]. We have also examined the (generalised) Ishibashi state construction and the symplectic fermion construction at c=-2 for boundary states in the context of the c=-2 triplet model. The differences between two constructions are interpreted, resolved and extended beyond each case.
