Phases of Wilson lines: conformality and screening

We study the rich dynamics resulting from introducing static charged particles (Wilson lines) in 2+1 and 3+1 dimensional gauge theories. Depending on the charges of the external particles, there may be multiple defect fxed points with interesting renormalization group fows connecting them, or an exp...
