We revisit the computation of $2$-point correlation functions of $\tfrac{1}{2}$-BPS operators in the $6$d, $\mathcal{N}=(2,0)$ theory in the presence of a surface defect. We focus on the protected sector described by the chiral algebra and reproduce its correlators using a bootstrap approach. A unique feature of this calculation is that we can completely determine the answer by using bulk-channel data only. We, also, perform the operator expansion in the defect channel which provide new predictions for the theory.

  1. 2-loop free energy of M2 brane in AdS$_7 \times$ S$^4$ and surface defect anomaly in (2,0) theory

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 7.0

    The 2-loop (1/N) correction to the M2-brane free energy in AdS7×S4 vanishes in dimensional and ζ-function regularizations, so the boundary defect anomaly is b = 12N − 9, supporting the U(N) (2,0) interpretation.

  2. Heavy holographic correlators in defect conformal field theories

    hep-th 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Holographic probe-brane calculations produce defect one- and two-point functions of heavy scalars that match OPE and BOE limits.
