Abstract

The factorization condition for the scattering amplitudes of an integrable model with a line of defect gives rise to a set of Reflection-Transmission equations. The solutions of these equations in the case of diagonal $S$ -matrix in the bulk are only those with $S = \pm 1$ . The choice $S = - 1$ corresponds to the Ising model. We compute the transmission and reflection amplitudes relative to the interaction of the Majorana fermion with the defect and we discuss their relevant features.
