Conformal perturbation theory is applied to surface defects in O(N) models in 4-ε dimensions to reproduce known flows and construct new ones, with controlled changes in displacement and tilt normalizations and novel features like vortices on non-simply-connected manifolds.

In the 4-ε expansion of the Ising model with surface random field, the ordinary boundary condition is stable while a new non-trivial dirty boundary fixed point emerges that is reachable by tuning disorder or temperature.
Crosscap defects are introduced in CFTs via Z2 quotients, with crossing equations derived and CFT data computed in the O(N) model at Gaussian and Wilson-Fisher points showing absent displacement and tilt operators for generic p.
Exact infrared solutions for surface criticalities in the Gross-Neveu-Yukawa model encode fermionic anomalies in surface dynamics and reveal emergent structures linked to a defect version of the CFT distance conjecture.
A dissertation synthesizing universal aspects of defect dynamics in QFT through symmetry principles across defect RG flows, effective strings, and quantum gas impurities.
