Crosscap defects from Z2 spacetime quotients in CFTs yield new crossing equations and O(N) model examples without displacement or tilt operators, forming defect conformal manifolds lacking exactly marginal operators.
Monodromy defects in Maxwell theory are analyzed via mapping to hyperbolic space, recovering the defect primary spectrum and showing that Wilson/'t Hooft lines terminate on defects, become decomposable, and follow Chern-Simons topological behavior.

Monodromy Defects for Electric-Magnetic Duality, Hyperbolic Space, and Lines
Monodromy defects in Maxwell theory are analyzed via mapping to hyperbolic space, recovering the defect primary spectrum and showing that Wilson/'t Hooft lines terminate on defects, become decomposable, and follow Chern-Simons topological behavior.
