Free energy and defect C-theorem in free scalar theory
Abstract We describe conformal defects of p dimensions in a free scalar theory on a d-dimensional flat space as boundary conditions on the conformally flat space ℍ p+1 × 𝕊 d−p−1. We classify two types of boundary conditions, Dirichlet type and Neumann type, on the boundary of the subspace ℍ p+1 whic...
