Bootstrapping the 3d Ising twist defect
read the original abstract
Recent numerical results point to the existence of a conformally invariant twist defect in the critical 3d Ising model. In this note we show that this fact is supported by both epsilon expansion and conformal bootstrap calculations. We find that our results are in good agreement with the numerical data. We also make new predictions for operator dimensions and OPE coefficients from the bootstrap approach. In the process we derive universal bounds on one-dimensional conformal field theories and conformal line defects.

Crosscap Defects
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.

Crosscap Defects
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...
