Non-local charges from perturbed defects via SymTFT in 2d CFT
Federico Ambrosino, Ingo Runkel, Gérard M. T. Watts
We investigate non-local conserved charges in perturbed two-dimensional conformal field theories from the point of view of the 3d SymTFT of the unperturbed theory. In the SymTFT we…
Modular symmetry of massive free fermions
Max Downing, Sameer Murthy, Gerard M. T. Watts
We construct an infinite set of conserved tensor currents of rank , , in the two-dimensional theory of free massive fermions, which are bilinear in the fermionic f…
Parity and Spin CFT with boundaries and defects
Ingo Runkel, Lóránt Szegedy, Gérard M. T. Watts
This paper is a follow-up to [arXiv:2001.05055] in which two-dimensional conformal field theories in the presence of spin structures are studied. In the present paper we define fou…
Free fermions, KdV charges, generalised Gibbs ensembles and modular transforms
Max Downing, Gerard M. T. Watts
In this paper we consider the modular properties of generalised Gibbs ensembles in the Ising model, realised as a theory of one free massless fermion. The Gibbs ensembles are given…
Fermionic CFTs and classifying algebras
Ingo Runkel, Gerard M. T. Watts
We study fermionic conformal field theories on surfaces with spin structure in the presence of boundaries, defects, and interfaces. We obtain the relevant crossing relations, takin…
