چکیده

We consider a free Maxwell field in four dimensions the presence of codimension two defect. Reflection positive, defects which preserve conformal symmetry this context are very limited. show only generalized fields can appear defect operator product expansion bulk field; particular correlation functions these operators be evaluated via Wick's Theorem.

Perturbed Defects and T-Systems in Conformal Field Theory

Defect lines in conformal field theory can be perturbed by chiral defect fields. If the unperturbed defects satisfy su(2)-type fusion rules, the operators associated to the perturbed defects are shown to obey functional relations known from the study of integrable models as T-systems. The procedure is illustrated for Virasoro minimal models and for Liouville theory. Email: [email protected]

Duality and Defects in Rational Conformal Field Theory

We study topological defect lines in two-dimensional rational conformal field theory. Continuous variation of the location of such a defect does not change the value of a correlator. Defects separating different phases of local CFTs with the same chiral symmetry are included in our discussion. We show how the resulting onedimensional phase boundaries can be used to extract symmetries and order-...

A Monoidal Category for Perturbed Defects in Conformal Field Theory

Starting from an abelian rigid braided monoidal category C we define an abelian rigid monoidal category CF which captures some aspects of perturbed conformal defects in two-dimensional conformal field theory. Namely, for V a rational vertex operator algebra we consider the charge-conjugation CFT constructed form V (the Cardy case). Then C = Rep(V ) and an object in CF corresponds to a conformal...

Trivial Construction of Free Associative Conformal Algebra

Theory of conformal algebras (see [K1], [K2], [K3]) is a relatively new branch of algebra closely related to mathematical physics. The general categorial approach in this theory leads to the notion of pseudotensor category [BD] (also known as multicategory [La]). Algebras in these categories (so called pseudoalgebras, see [BDK]) allow to get a common presentation of various features of usual an...

A Random Surface Theory with Non-trivial String

We measure by Monte Carlo simulations string for a model of random surfaces embedded in three dimensional Euclidean space-time. The action of the string is the usual Polyakov action plus an extrinsic curvature term. The system undergoes a phase transition at a nite value c of the extrinsic curvature coupling and at the transition point the numerically measured value of string (c) 0:27 0:06. Thi...
