Description

In this talk I shall talk about insertion of defects into a conformal field theory. Specifically, I shall discuss a setup with two conformal defects, and an effective field theory description of this setup, and the symmetries that this setup preserves. This is based on work with Petr Kravchuk and Ritam Sinha (arXiv:2406.04561).
