Perturbing a Virasoro minimal model by the (1,3) primary bulk field results in an integrable field theory. In this paper, an infinite set of commuting conserved charges is obtained by considering defects: a one-parameter family of perturbed…

We present a new class of 2d integrable models obtained as perturbations of minimal CFT with W-symmetry by fundamental weight primaries. These models are generalisations of well known $(1,2)$-perturbed Virasoro minimal models. In the large…

We consider perturbation defects obtained by perturbing a 2D conformal field theory (CFT) by a relevant operator on a half-plane. If the perturbed bulk theory flows to an infrared fixed point described by another CFT, the defect flows to a…

We introduce and study conformal field theories specified by $W-$algebras commuting with certain set of screening charges. These CFT's possess perturbations which define integrable QFT's. We establish that these QFT's have local and…

We find an infinite set of new noncommuting conserved charges in a specific class of perturbed CFT's and present a criterion for their existence.They appear to be higher momenta of the already known commuting conserved currents.The algebra…

We propose a new massive integrable model in quantum field theory. This model is obtained as a perturbed model of the minimal conformal field theories on the hyper-elliptic surfaces by a particular relavant operator $V_{(1,1)}^{(t)}$. The…

We investigate the locality properties of $T \overline T$-deformed CFTs within perturbation theory. Up to third order in the deformation parameter, we find a Hamiltonian operator which solves the flow equation, reproduces the Zamolodchikov…

Coupling $N$ large $m$ minimal models and flowing to IR fixed points is a systematic way to build new classes of compact unitary 2d CFTs which are likely to be irrational, and potentially have a positive Virasoro twist gap above the…

We describe a general way of constructing integrable defect theories as perturbations of conformal field theory by local defect operators. The method relies on folding the system onto a boundary field theory of twice the central charge. The…

In conformal field theories (CFTs) of dimension $d>3$, two-dimensional (2d) conformal defects are characterised in part by central charges defined via the defect's contribution to the trace anomaly. However, in general for interacting CFTs…

Perturbations of $WD_n$ and $W_3$ conformal theories which generalize the $(1,2)$ perturbations of conformal minimal models are shown to be integrable by counting argument. $A_{2n-1,q}^{(2)}$ and $D_{4,q}^ {(3)}$ symmetries of corresponding…

We initiate a search for non-perturbative consistency conditions in M theory. Some non-perturbative conditions are already known in Type I theories; we review these and search for others. We focus principally on possible anomalies in…

We offer a streamlined and computationally powerful characterization of higher representations (higher charges) for defect operators under generalized symmetries, employing the powerful framework of Symmetry TFT $\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{C})$.…

For a local quantum field theory in anti-de Sitter space with conformal boundary conditions but without dynamical gravity, the boundary theory is generically a non-local conformal field theory. Such theories can support conformal defects,…

Consider a d-dimensional quantum field theory (QFT) $\mathfrak{T}$, with a generalized symmetry $\mathcal{S}$, which may or may not be invertible. We study the action of $\mathcal{S}$ on generalized or $q$-charges, i.e. $q$-dimensional…

We embark on a systematic study of continuous non-invertible symmetries, focusing on 1+1d CFTs. We describe a generalized version of Noether's theorem, where continuous non-invertible symmetries are associated to $\textit{non-local}$…

The AdS/CFT correspondence relates deformations of the CFT by "multi-trace operators" to "non-local string theories". The deformed theories seem to have non-local interactions in the compact directions of space-time; in the gravity…

A previously proposed non-canonical coupled-perturbed Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT)/Hartree-Fock (HF) treatment for spin-orbit coupling is here generalized to infinite periodic systems. The scalar-relativistic periodic…

The modern way to understand symmetries of a quantum field theory is via its topological defects in various dimensions. In this contribution to the proceedings we focus on line defects in 2d QFT and we point out that topological defects…

We study properties of boundary conditions (BCs) in theories with categorical (or non-invertible) symmetries. We describe how the transformation properties, or (generalized) charges, of BCs are captured by topological BCs of Symmetry…
