The Conformal Bootstrap Program

这项提案构成了自2018年10月以来一直在DESY运行的艾美奖·诺特研究经费的一年延长。在过去的几年里，我们已经开发出了一台功能强大的缺陷钢管混凝土研究设备。这些方法已经被证明是成功的，值得进一步探索。已被研究的模型的有趣例子包括$\varepsilon$-展开中的单行缺陷，以及$\mathcal{N}$=4SYM中的超对称威尔逊线。这项建议是一项单独的研究，与我们最近的结果相辅相成。然而，该项目相当技术性，需要额外一年的资金。目标是使用现代分析自举技术来研究缺陷相关器。更准确地说，我们提出了一个重点研究项目的大纲，该项目将扩展我们的工作，将六维模型中的表面缺陷包括在内。

This proposal constitutes a one-year extension of the Emmy Noether research grant on ``The Conformal Bootstrap Program'' that has been running at DESY since October 2018. During the past years we have developed a powerful machinery for the study of defect CFT. The methods have already proved successful and warrant further exploration. Interesting examples of models that have been studied include monodromy defects in the $\varepsilon$-expansion, and supersymmetric Wilson lines in $\mathcal{N}$=4 SYM. This proposal is a separate line of research that complements our recent results. The project however is quite technical and requires an extra year of funding. The goal is to study defect correlators using modern analytical bootstrap techniques. More precisely, we present an outline for a focused research project that will extended our work to include surface defects in six-dimensional models."
