Phases of surface defects in Scalar Field Theories
Abstract We study mass-type surface defects in a free scalar and Wilson-Fisher (WF) O(N) theories. We obtain exact results for the free scalar defect, including its RG flow and defect Weyl anomaly. We classify phases of such defects at the WF fixed point near four dimensions, whose perturbative RG f...
