The beginning of the endpoint bootstrap for conformal line defects
Ryan A. Lanzetta, Shang Liu, Max A. Metlitski
A challenge in the study of conformal field theory (CFT) is to characterize the possible defects in specific bulk CFTs. Given the success of numerical bootstrap techniques applied…

Extraordinary transition at the edge of a correlated topological insulator
Francesco Parisen Toldin, Fakher F. Assaad, Max A. Metlitski
The interplay of topology and correlations defines a new playground to study boundary criticality in quantum systems. We employ large scale auxiliary field quantum Monte Carlo simu…

Universal finite-size scaling in the extraordinary-log boundary phase of three-dimensional model
Francesco Parisen Toldin, Abijith Krishnan, Max A. Metlitski
Recent advances in boundary critical phenomena have led to the discovery of a new surface universality class in the three-dimensional model. The newly found ``extraordinary-…
