Coulomb Gas on the Half Plane

Abstract

The Coulomb-gas description of minimal models is considered on the half plane. Screening prescriptions are developed by the perturbative expansion of the Liouville theory with imaginary coupling and with Neumann boundary condition on the bosonic field. To generate the conformal blocks of more general boundary conditions, we propose the insertion of boundary operations.
