Renormalization Group domain walls are natural conformal interfaces between two CFTs related by an RG flow. The RG domain wall gives an exact relation between the operators in the UV and IR CFTs. We propose an explicit algebraic…

Conformal interfaces separating two conformal field theories (CFTs) provide maps between different CFTs, and naturally exist in nature as domain walls between different phases. One particularly interesting construction of a conformal…

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…

Recently Gaiotto [1] considered conformal defects which produce an expansion of infrared local fields in terms of the ultraviolet ones for a given renormalization group flow. In this paper we propose that for a boundary RG flow in two…

We explore the RG flow between neighboring minimal CFT models with $W_3$ symmetry. After computing several classes of OPE structure constants we were able to find the matrices of anomalous dimensions for three classes of RG invariant sets…

We specify Gaiotto's proposal for the RG domain wall between some coset CFT models to the case of two minimal N=1 SCFT models $SM_p$ and $SM_{p-2}$ related by the RG flow initiated by the top component of the Neveu-Schwarz superfield…

It was found that deformation of S^7 gives rise to renormalization group(RG) flow from N=8, SO(8)-invariant UV fixed point to N=1, G_2-invariant IR fixed point in four-dimensional gauged N=8 supergravity. Also BPS supersymmetric domain wall…

Consider a renormalization group flow preserving a pre-modular fusion category $\mathcal S_1$. If it flows to a rational conformal field theory, the surviving symmetry $\mathcal S_1$ flows to a pre-modular fusion category $\mathcal S_2$…

We consider a composite defect system where a lower-dimensional defect (sub-defect) is embedded to a higher-dimensional one, and examine renormalization group (RG) flows localized on the defect. A composite defect is constructed in the…

Interpreting renormalization group flows as solitons interpolating between different fixed points, we ask various questions that are normally asked in soliton physics but not in renormalization theory. Can one count RG flows? Are there…

In this letter we continue the investigation of RG flows between minimal models that are protected by non-invertible symmetries. RG flows leaving unbroken a subcategory of non-invertible symmetries are associated with anomaly-matching…

We consider a RG flow in a general su(2) coset model induced by the least relevant field. This is done using two different approaches. We first compute the mixing coefficients of certain fields in the UV and IR theories using a conformal…

Utilising the symmetry constraints of suitable topological defects, the possible RG flows of N=1 superconformal minimal models are studied. We first employ a coset description that only captures the bosonic subalgebra, and then generalise…

We set up the Functional Renormalisation Group formalism for Tensorial Group Field Theory in full generality. We then apply it to a rank-3 model over U(1) x U(1) x U(1), endowed with a linear kinetic term and nonlocal interactions. The…

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…
