contents We study the critical behavior of the semi-infinite Gross-Neveu-Yukawa model, a quantum field theory describing Dirac fermions interacting with bosonic fields via a Yukawa coupling. We consider Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions for the bosonic fields, and the most general boundary conditions for the fermions that preserve unitarity, conformal invariance, and charge conjugation symmetry. We analyze the phase diagram and identify distinct fixed points corresponding to different universality classes of boundary critical behavior. The associated boundary critical exponents, which govern the scaling behavior and crossover phenomena, are computed to one-loop order. We also discuss the relevance of our results to the semi-infinite pseudoscalar Yukawa model.
