We obtain exact results for correlation functions of primary operators in thetwo-dimensional conformal field theory of a scalar field interacting with acritical periodic boundary potential. Amplitudes involving arbitrary bulkdiscrete primary fields are given in terms of SU(2) rotation coefficients whileboundary amplitudes involving discrete boundary fields are independent of theboundary interaction. Mixed amplitudes involving both bulk and boundarydiscrete fields can also be obtained explicitly. Two- and three-point boundaryamplitudes involving fields at generic momentum are determined, up tomultiplicative constants, by the band spectrum in the open-string sector of thetheory.Comment: 33 pages, 6 figure
