We consider line defects in d-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs). The ambient CFT
places nontrivial constraints on renormalization group (RG) flows on such line defects. We …

A bstract We study the constraints of superconformal symmetry on codimension two defects
in four-dimensional superconformal field theories. We show that the one-point function of the …

We initiate the classification of unitary superconformal defects in unitary superconformal field
theories (SCFT) of diverse spacetime dimensions $3\leq d\leq 6$. Our method explores …

A bstract Motivated by questions about quantum information and classification of quantum
field theories, we consider Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) in spacetime dimension d≥ 5 …

A bstract We study symmetry-breaking line defects in the Wilson-Fisher theory with O (2N+
1) global symmetry near four dimensions and symmetry-preserving surface defects in a …

Superconformal field theories (SCFTs) occupy a central role in the study of many aspects of
quantum field theory. In this white paper for the Snowmass process we give a brief overview …

A bstract Quantum field theories (QFT) in the presence of defects exhibit new types of
anomalies which play an important role in constraining the defect dynamics and defect …

A bstract We study co-dimension two monodromy defects in theories of conformally coupled
scalars and free Dirac fermions in arbitrary d dimensions. We characterise this family of …

A bstract The Klebanov-Tarnopolsky tensor model is a quantum field theory for rank-three
tensor scalar fields with certain quartic potential. The theory possesses an unusual large N …

The computation of the emitted radiation by an accelerated external particle can be
addressed in a gauge theory with the insertion of a Wilson loop. With the addition of …
