abstract
Symmetry breaking boundary conditions for WZW theories are discussed. We derive explicit formulae for the reflection coefficients in the presence of boundary conditions that preserve only an orbifold subalgebra with respect to an involutive automorphism of the chiral algebra. The characters and modular transformations of the corresponding orbifold theories are computed. Both inner and outer automorphisms are treated.

For dual massive RG flows, the gapped-phase module is spanned by smeared Ishibashi states and cannot be reduced to the boundary-critical Cardy-state module, even in the simplest tricritical-Ising to Ising flow.
Constructs Z_N extended fusion rings and modular partition functions for nonanomalous subgroups, extending to multicomponent systems and orbifoldings in CFTs.
An algebraic RG formalism for topological orders uses ideals in fusion rings to encode noninvertible symmetries and condensation rules between anyons.
