Monodromy defects from hyperbolic space

Abstract We study monodromy defects in O(N) symmetric scalar field theories in d dimensions. After a Weyl transformation, a monodromy defect may be described by placing the theory on S 1 × H d−1, where H d−1 is the hyperbolic space, and imposing on the fundamental fields a twisted periodicity condit...
