Boundary S-matrix for the Tricritical Ising Model

Abstract

The Tricritical Ising model perturbed by the subleading energy operator Φ_(3/5) was known to be an Integrable Scattering Theory of massive kinks and in fact preserves supersymmetry. We consider here the model defined on the half-plane with a boundary and computed the associated factorizable boundary S-matrix. The conformal boundary conditions of this model were identified and the corresponding S-matrices were found. We also show how some of these S-matrices can be perturbed and generate ``flows'' between different boundary conditions.
