High Energy Theory Seminar
Online and In-Person Event
Pinning Defects, Fusion and Factorization
Yifan Wang,
New York University,
I'll discuss recent results on the dynamics of defects in conformal field theory. In particular, I'll describe the phenomena of defect fusion and the factorization of spacetime under renormalization group flows on defects. I'll illustrate these phenomena with the so-called pinning field defects which have simple definitions in quantum field theory and also comment on the broader implications for understanding extended operators.
The talk is in 469 Lauritsen.
