Abstract
Exact critical properties of the one-dimensional SU(N) interacting fermion model with open boundaries are studied by using the Bethe ansatz method. We derive the surface critical exponents of various correlation functions using boundary conformal field theory. They are classified into two types, i.e., the exponents for the chiral SU(N) Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid and those related to the orthogonality catastrophe. We discuss a possible application of the results to the photoemission (absorption) in the edge state of the fractional quantum Hall effect. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
