Recently a continuous set of boundary conditions have been discovered in the O(n) model. Coupling this CFT to 2D gravity, it has been possible to recover the spectrum of boundary operators. The introduction of the O(n) matrix model to generate fluctuating lattices allows us to tackle more subtle questions such as boundary flows in the dense and dilute phases.
