New exotic operators appear on Wilson lines in general representations; their dimension-one superprimaries produce marginally relevant deformations of half-BPS defects in N=4 SYM, supported by a general weak-coupling four-point function.
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.
Local CFTs lie at the extrema of the sphere free energy tilde F for nonlocal CFT lines, and maximize it when unitary.
In N=2 SU quiver theories the large-N Hagedorn temperature depends only on quiver length for linear cases and equals that of N=4 SYM for holographic quivers, with a universal lower bound of 1/sqrt(2) on the exponential rate alpha of higher-spin current conservation.
Complexified exactly-marginal couplings produce solvable complex CFTs, with the Ising defect verified numerically in non-Hermitian chains.
