A bstract This is the first of a series of two papers in which we study the one-dimensional
defect CFT defined by insertions of local operators along a\(\frac {1}{2}\)-BPS Wilson line …

A bstract In this second installment of a series of two papers on the\(\frac {1}{2}\)-BPS Wilson
line defect CFT in\(\mathcal {N}\)= 4 super Yang-Mills, we focus on dynamical aspects of the …

A bstract The giant graviton expansion of the line defect Schur index in four
dimensional\(\mathcal {N} 4\) U (N) SYM was recently proposed in arXiv: 2403.11543 to be …

We consider correlation functions in 6D (2, 0) theories of two 1 2-Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-
Sommerfield (BPS) operators inserted away from a 1 2-BPS surface defect. In the large …

Expectation values of surface operators suffer from logarithmic divergences reflecting a
conformal anomaly. In a holographic setting, where surface operators can be computed by a …

A bstract We study and compute supersymmetric observables for line defects in 3d\(\mathcal
{N}\)≥ 4 theories. Our setup is a novel supersymmetric configuration involving line operators …

A bstract In this note, we study 1/4-and 1/2-BPS co-dimension two superconformal defects in
the 6d\(\mathcal {N}\)=(2, 0) AN− 1 SCFT at large N using their holographic descriptions as …

A bstract We study the anomalies of two-dimensional BPS defects in six-
dimensional\(\mathcal {N}\)=(1, 0) superconformal field theories. Using a holographic …

In this thesis, we consider two approaches to the study of correlation functions in
onedimensional defect Conformal Field Theories (dCFT 1), in particular those defined by 1/2 …

This is the first of a series of two papers in which we study the one-dimensional defect CFT
defined by insertions of local operators along a $\tfrac {1}{2} $-BPS Wilson line in $\mathcal …
