Holographic Defect Dynamics from Analytic Bootstrap

05/06 2024 Seminar
  • Title Holographic Defect Dynamics from Analytic Bootstrap
  • Speaker Xinan Zhou (UCAS)
  • Date 9:30 May 6, 2024
  • Venue 6620 Tencent Meeting: 750-784-7082 (Password: 1978)
  • Abstract
    In this talk I will introduce analytic conformal bootstrap techniques for holographic defect correlators. I will focus on the example of 1/2-BPS surface defects in  6d (2,0) theories, and explain how to compute two-point functions at tree and one-loop levels.
