Conformal Surface Defects in Maxwell Theory are Trivial (2202.09180v1)
Published 18 Feb 2022 in hep-th
Abstract: We consider a free Maxwell field in four dimensions in the presence of a codimension two defect. Reflection positive, codimension two defects which preserve conformal symmetry in this context are very limited. We show only generalized free fields can appear in the defect operator product expansion of the bulk Maxwell field; in particular correlation functions of these defect operators can be evaluated via Wick's Theorem.
