In this letter we study renormalization group (RG) flows between 2d conformal field theories enjoying extended higher-spin $\mathcal{W}$-symmetry. We propose a new class of RG flows between the diagonal minimal models of…

We construct the supergravity duals of marginal deformations of a (0,2) Landau-Ginsburg theory that describes the supersymmetric lowest Landau level. These deformations preserve supersymmetry and it is proposed that they are associated with…

We consider a RG flow in certain 2D coset models perturbed by the least relevant field. In the case of the symmetric su(2) coset model we show, up to second order of the perturbation theory, that there exists a nontrivial IR fixed point.We…

We analyze superselection sectors, non-invertible symmetries and selection rules for RG flows triggered via perturbations of a UV two-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT$_2$). To this end we describe a method whose input is the local…

We study $D=11$ supergravity solutions which are dual to one-dimensional superconformal defects in $d=3$ SCFTs. We consider defects in ABJM theory with monodromy for $U(1)^4\subset SO(8)$ global symmetry, as well as in $\mathcal{N}=2$ mABJM…

We construct an RG potential for N=2 supersymmetric SU(2) Yang-Mills theory, and extract a positive definite metric by comparing its gradient with the recently discovered beta-function for this system, thus proving that the RG flow is…

Motivated by the geometric structures of supersymmetric holographic RG-flows, we scan for N=2 AdS_4 solutions in M-theory. One particularly well understood holographic RG flow in M-theory is dual to a mass deformation of the N=8…

We examine the interplay of symmetry and topological order in $2+1$ dimensional topological phases of matter. We present a definition of the \it topological symmetry \rm group, which characterizes the symmetry of the emergent topological…

We study type IIB supergravity solutions that are dual to two-dimensional superconformal defects in $d=4$ SCFTs which preserve $\mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ supersymmetry. We consider solutions dual to defects in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM theory that have…

The perturbative renormalization of the Ginzburg-Landau model is reconsidered based on the Feynman diagram technique. We derive renormalization group (RG) flow equations, exactly calculating all vertices appearing in the perturbative…

As put forward in [arXiv:1907.12339] topological quantum field theories can be projected using so-called projection defects. The projected theory and its correlation functions can be completely realized within the unprojected one. An…

We consider the deformations of ``monomial solutions'' to Generalized Kontsevich Model \cite{KMMMZ91a,KMMMZ91b} and establish the relation between the flows generated by these deformations with those of $N=2$ Landau-Ginzburg topological…

We revisit the reduction of type II supergravity on SU(3) structure manifolds, conjectured to lead to gauged N=2 supergravity in 4 dimensions. The reduction proceeds by expanding the invariant 2- and 3-forms of the SU(3) structure as well…

Topological phases of matter have been widely studied for their robustness against impurities and disorder. The broad applicability of topological materials relies on the reliable transition from idealized, mathematically perfect models to…

A pair of the 2D non-unitary minimal models $M(2,5)$ is known to be equivalent to a variant of the $M(3,10)$ minimal model. We discuss the RG flow from this model to another non-unitary minimal model, $M(3,8)$. This provides new evidence…

In this work, we study the realization of non-invertible duality symmetries along the toroidal branch of the $c=2$ conformal manifold. A systematic procedure to construct symmetry defects is implemented to show that all Rational Conformal…

Geometrical design is a crucial and challenging strategy for improving the performance of type-II superconductors, because the proper placement of intended defects in the current path contribute to flux pinning, a reduction in dissipation,…
