Kaluza-Klein Spectroscopy for the Leigh-Strassler SCFT
Nikolay Bobev, Emanuel Malek, Brandon Robinson +2
We apply recently developed tools from exceptional field theory to calculate the full Kaluza-Klein spectrum of the AdS Pilch-Warner solution of type IIB supergravity. Through t…
Central Charges of 2d Superconformal Defects
Adam Chalabi, Andy O'Bannon, Brandon Robinson +1
In conformal field theories (CFTs) of dimension , two-dimensional (2d) conformal defects are characterised in part by central charges defined via the defect's contribution to…
Partial-Symmetry-Breaking Phase Transitions
Masanori Hanada, Brandon Robinson
We demonstrate a novel feature of certain phase transitions in theories with large rank symmetry group that exhibit specific types of non-local interactions. A typical example of s…
From the Weyl Anomaly to Entropy of Two-Dimensional Boundaries and Defects
Kristan Jensen, Andy O'Bannon, Brandon Robinson +1
We study whether the relations between the Weyl anomaly, entanglement entropy (EE), and thermal entropy of a two-dimensional (2D) conformal field theory (CFT) extend to 2D boundari…
Wilson Surface Central Charge from Holographic Entanglement Entropy
John Estes, Darya Krym, Andy O'Bannon +2
We use entanglement entropy to define a central charge associated to a two-dimensional defect or boundary in a conformal field theory (CFT). We present holographic calculations of…

Natan Andrei, Agnese Bissi, Matthew Buican +18
Proceedings of the workshop "Boundary and Defect Conformal Field Theory: Open Problems and Applications," Chicheley Hall, Buckinghamshire, UK, 7-8 Sept. 2017.
