Unitarity Method for Holographic Defects

High Energy Physics - Theory 2025-02-27 v2

Abstract

We initiate the study of loop-level holographic correlators in the presence of defects. We present a unitarity method which constructs loop corrections from lower order data. As an example, we apply this method to 6d N=(2,0)\mathcal{N}=(2,0) theories with 12\frac{1}{2}-BPS surface defects and report the first holographic two-point function at one loop.
