Flowing with Displacements and Tilts: Surface Operators in Models
Jake Belton, Nadav Drukker, Biswajit Sahoo
Defect conformal field theories have special operators of protected dimension known as displacements and tilts. They arise due to the breaking of global symmetries by the defect an…
Crosscap Defects
Nadav Drukker, Shota Komatsu, Anders Wallberg
We introduce a novel class of defects, termed crosscap defects, in conformal field theory (CFT) in general dimensions. These arise from quotienting the spacetime by a automor…
Nonlinearly Realised Defect Symmetries and Anomalies
Nadav Drukker, Ziwen Kong, Petr Kravchuk
Conformal defects -- extended objects in conformal field theories -- carry localised excitations inherited from symmetry currents, known as the displacements and tilts. They captur…
Fine Spectrum from Crude Analytic Bootstrap
Jake Belton, Nadav Drukker, Ziwen Kong +1
The magnetic line defect in the model gives rise to a non-trivial one-dimensional defect conformal field theory of theoretical and experimental value. This model is consider…
Transdimensional Defects
Elia de Sabbata, Nadav Drukker, Andreas Stergiou
This note introduces a novel paradigm for conformal defects with continuously adjustable dimensions. Just as the standard expansion interpolates between integer space…
Vortex loop operators and quantum M2-branes
Nadav Drukker, Omar Shahpo
We study M2-branes in dual to 1/2 and 1/3 BPS vortex loop operators in ABJM theory and compute their one-loop correction beyond the classical M2-bra…
