Bootstrapping Boundaries and Branes
Scott Collier, Dalimil Mazac, Yifan Wang
The study of conformal boundary conditions for two-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) has a long history, ranging from the description of impurities in one-dimensional qua…
The Hitchhiker's Guide to 4d Superconformal Field Theories
Mohammad Akhond, Guillermo Arias-Tamargo, Alessandro Mininno +4
Superconformal field theory with supersymmetry in four dimensional spacetime provides a prime playground to study strongly coupled phenomena in quantum field theory…
Fusion Category Symmetry II: Categoriosities at c = 1 and Beyond
Ryan Thorngren, Yifan Wang
We study generalized symmetries of quantum field theories in 1+1D generated by topological defect lines with no inverse. This paper follows our companion paper on gapped phases and…
Defect -Theorem and -Maximization
Yifan Wang
Conformal defects describe the universal behaviors of a conformal field theory (CFT) in the presence of a boundary or more general impurities. The coupled critical system is charac…
