Correlators of Mixed Symmetry Operators in Defect CFTs

Abstract

We use the embedding formalism to study correlation functions of a d-dimensional Euclidean CFT in the presence of a qq co-dimensional defect. The defect breaks the global conformal group SO(d+1,1)SO(d+1,1) into SO(dq+1,1)×SO(q)SO(d-q+1,1) \times SO(q). We calculate all possible invariant structures that can appear in one-point, two-point and three-point correlation functions of bulk and defect operators in mixed symmetry representation. Their generalization to n-point correlation functions are also worked out. Correlation functions in the presence of a defect, in arbitrary representation of SO(q)SO(q), are also calculated.
