Unlike conformal boundary conditions, conformal defects of Virasoro minimal models lack classification. Alternatively to the defect perturbation theory and the truncated conformal space approach, we employ open string field ...

We classify the class S theories of type E-7. These are four-dimensional N = 2 superconformal field theories arising from the compactification of the E-7 (2, 0) theory on a punctured Riemann surface, C. The classification ...

We investigate the hexagon formalism in the planar 4d conformal fishnet theory. This theory arises from N = 4 SYM by a deformation that preserves both conformal symmetry and integrability. Based on this relation, we obtain ...

Abstract: We discuss consequences of the breaking of conformal symmetry by a flat or spherical extended operator. We adapt the embedding formalism to the study of correlation functions of symmetric traceless tensors in the ...

We compute the one-loop beta functions for the Type II superstring using the pure spinor formalism in a generic supergravity background. It is known that the classical pure spinor BRST symmetry puts the background fields ...
