Unitarity Method for Holographic Defects
Junding Chen, Aleix Gimenez-Grau, Hynek Paul +1
We initiate the study of loop-level holographic correlators in the presence of defects. We present a unitarity method which constructs loop corrections from lower order data. As an…
Analytic bootstrap for magnetic impurities
Lorenzo Bianchi, Davide Bonomi, Elia de Sabbata +1
We study the critical model and the free theory of a scalar triplet in the presence of a magnetic impurity. We use analytic bootstrap techniques to extract results in the $\…
Defect two-point functions in 6d (2,0) theories
Junding Chen, Aleix Gimenez-Grau, Xinan Zhou
We consider correlation functions in 6d theories of two -BPS operators inserted away from a -BPS surface defect. In the large central charge limit…
Scale without Conformal Invariance in Dipolar Ferromagnets
Aleix Gimenez-Grau, Yu Nakayama, Slava Rychkov
We revisit critical phenomena in isotropic ferromagnets with strong dipolar interactions. The corresponding RG fixed point - dipolar fixed point - was first studied in 1973 by Ahar…
The Witten Diagram Bootstrap for Holographic Defects
Aleix Gimenez-Grau
We study the AdS/CFT correspondence with a brane extending in AdS, a setup which is dual to CFT in the presence of a defect. We focus on the correlation function of two local opera…
Probing magnetic line defects with two-point functions
Aleix Gimenez-Grau
This paper studies magnetic line defects in the Wilson-Fisher model. A powerful method to probe the system is to consider mixed two-point functions of the order parameter an…
Bootstrapping line defects with global symmetry
Aleix Gimenez-Grau, Edoardo Lauria, Pedro Liendo +1
We use the numerical bootstrap to study conformal line defects with global symmetry. Our results are very general and capture in particular conformal line defects originatin…
A dispersion relation for defect CFT
Julien Barrat, Aleix Gimenez-Grau, Pedro Liendo
We present a dispersion relation for defect CFT that reconstructs two-point functions in the presence of a defect as an integral of a single discontinuity. The main virtue of this…
Bootstrapping holographic defect correlators in super Yang-Mills
Julien Barrat, Aleix Gimenez-Grau, Pedro Liendo
We study two-point functions of single-trace half-BPS operators in the presence of a supersymmetric Wilson line in SYM. We use inversion formula technology in order…
Bootstrapping Monodromy Defects in the Wess-Zumino Model
Aleix Gimenez-Grau, Pedro Liendo
We use analytical bootstrap techniques to study supersymmetric monodromy defects in the critical Wess-Zumino model. In preparation for this result we first study two related system…
Superconformal Boundaries in dimensions
Aleix Gimenez-Grau, Pedro Liendo, Philine van Vliet
Boundaries in three-dimensional superconformal theories may preserve one half of the original bulk supersymmetry. There are two possibilities which are characterize…
Bootstrapping Coulomb and Higgs branch operators
Aleix Gimenez-Grau, Pedro Liendo
We apply the numerical conformal bootstrap to correlators of Coulomb and Higgs branch operators in superconformal theories. We start by revisiting previous res…
A Quantum Framework for AdS/dCFT through Fuzzy Spherical Harmonics on
Aleix Gimenez-Grau, Charlotte Kristjansen, Matthias Volk +1
We consider a non-supersymmetric domain-wall version of SYM theory where five out of the six scalar fields have non-zero classical values on one side of a wall of…
Bootstrapping line defects in theories
Aleix Gimenez-Grau, Pedro Liendo
We study half-BPS line defects in superconformal theories using the bootstrap approach. We concentrate on local excitations constrained to the defect, which means t…
