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…
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…
A Lorentzian inversion formula for defect CFT
Pedro Liendo, Yannick Linke, Volker Schomerus
We present a Lorentzian inversion formula valid for any defect CFT that extracts the bulk channel CFT data as an analytic function of the spin variable. This result complements the…
Calogero-Sutherland Approach to Defect Blocks
Mikhail Isachenkov, Pedro Liendo, Yannick Linke +1
Extended objects such as line or surface operators, interfaces or boundaries play an important role in conformal field theory. Here we propose a systematic approach to the relevant…
Bootstrapping the half-BPS line defect
Pedro Liendo, Carlo Meneghelli, Vladimir Mitev
We use modern bootstrap techniques to study half-BPS line defects in 4d N=4 superconformal theories. Specifically, we consider the 1d CFT with OSP(4*|4) superconformal symmetry liv…
