In arXiv:1909.01269 it was shown that the scaling dimension of the lightest charge $n$ operator in the $U(1)$ model at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point in $d=4-\varepsilon$ can be computed semiclassically for arbitrary values of $\lambda n$,…

In CFTs, the partition function of a line defect with a cusp depends logarithmically on the size of the line with an angle-dependent coefficient: the cusp anomalous dimension. In the first part of this work, we study the general properties…
