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…
Boundary and Defect CFT: Open Problems and Applications
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.
Master 3d Bosonization Duality with Boundaries
Kyle Aitken, Andreas Karch, Brandon Robinson
We establish the action of the three-dimensional non-Abelian bosonization dualities in the presence of a boundary, which supports a non-anomalous two-dimensional theory. In particu…
Deconstructing S-Duality
Kyle Aitken, Andreas Karch, Brandon Robinson
We use the technique of deconstruction to lift dualities from 2+1 to 3+1 dimensions. In this work we demonstrate the basic idea by deriving S-duality of maximally supersymmetric el…
