Duality of central charges in boundary conformal field theory and its application to SLE

Nam-Gyu Kang, KIAS,

Feigin and Fuchs described the duality between the categories of Verma modules with central charges c and 26 - c to explain the appearance of the critical dimension 26 of the bosonic string theory. In this talk, I will explain how the boundary CFT of central charges c (less than or equal to 1) relates to the boundary CFT of 26 - c and present their connection to the theory of Schramm-Loewner evolution. This is based on joint work with N. Makarov.
