Abstract
The one-dimensional XY model with a uniform magnetic field and a boundary field is introduced. The present model is solved analytically at its critical point. Using the present analytical result, the finite-size corrections of the ground-state energy and the low-lying excited energies are evaluated. The partition function of the present model is also evaluated in the scaling limit. Through this calculation, the central charge and the conformal weights of the primary fields in the present model are obtained analytically.
