Abstract Surface operators are among the most important observables of the 6d $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (2, 0) theory. Here we apply the tools of defect CFT to study local operator insertions into the 1/2-BPS plane. We first relate the 2-point function of the displacement operator to the expectation value of the bulk stress tensor and translate this relation into a constraint on the anomaly coefficients associated with the defect. Secondly, we study the defect operator expansion of the stress tensor multiplet and identify several new operators of the defect CFT. Technical results derived along the way include the explicit supersymmetry tranformations of the stress tensor multiplet and the classification of unitary representations of the superconformal algebra preserved by the defect.

Abstract We consider four-point functions of operators in the stress tensor multiplet of the 3d $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 6 U(N)k× U(N + M)−k or SO(2)2k× USp(2 + 2M)−k ABJ theories in the limit where M and k are taken to infinity while N and λ ∼ M/k are held fixed. In this limit, these theories have weakly broken higher spin symmetry and are holographically dual to $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 6 higher spin gravity on AdS4, where λ is dual to the bulk parity breaking parameter. We use the weakly broken higher spin Ward identities, superconformal Ward identities, and the Lorentzian inversion formula to fully determine the tree level stress tensor multiplet four-point function up to two free parameters. We then use supersymmetric localization to fix both parameters for the ABJ theories in terms of λ, so that our result for the tree level correlator interpolates between the free theory at λ = 0 and a parity invariant interacting theory at λ = 1/2. We compare the CFT data extracted from this correlator to a recent numerical bootstrap conjecture for the exact spectrum of U(1)2M× U(1 + M)−2M ABJ theory (i.e. λ = 1/2 and N = 1), and find good agreement in the higher spin regime.

Abstract We investigate the structure of conformal Regge trajectories for the maximally supersymmetric (2, 0) theories in six dimensions. The different conformal multiplets in a single superconformal multiplet must all have similarly-shaped Regge trajectories. We show that these super-descendant trajectories interact in interesting ways, leading to new constraints on their shape. For the four-point function of the stress tensor multiplet supersymmetry also softens the Regge behavior in some channels, and consequently we observe that ‘analyticity in spin’ holds for all spins greater than −3. All the physical operators in this correlator therefore lie on Regge trajectories and we describe an iterative scheme where the Lorentzian inversion formula can be used to bootstrap the four-point function. Some numerical experiments yield promising results, with OPE data approaching the numerical bootstrap results for all theories with rank greater than one.

Abstract We study the two-point function of the stress-tensor multiplet of $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 SYM in the presence of a line defect. To be more precise, we focus on the single-trace operator of conformal dimension two that sits in the 20′ irrep of the $$ \mathfrak{so} $$ so (6)R R-symmetry, and add a Maldacena-Wilson line to the configuration which makes the two-point function non-trivial. We use a combination of perturbation theory and defect CFT techniques to obtain results up to next-to-leading order in the coupling constant. Being a defect CFT correlator, there exist two (super)conformal block expansions which capture defect and bulk data respectively. We present a closed-form formula for the defect CFT data, which allows to write an efficient Taylor series for the correlator in the limit when one of the operators is close to the line. The bulk channel is technically harder and closed-form formulae are particularly challenging to obtain, nevertheless we use our analysis to check against well-known data of $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 SYM. In particular, we recover the correct anomalous dimensions of a famous tower of twist-two operators (which includes the Konishi multiplet), and successfully compare the one-point function of the stress-tensor multiplet with results obtained using matrix-model techniques.

This chapter deals with the gluing of solutions and the relevant theorem (Theorem 12.1), which states the condition for a Hölder continuous solution to exist. By taking a Galilean transformation if necessary, the solution can be assumed to have zero total momentum. The cut off velocity and pressure form a smooth solution to the Euler-Reynolds equations with compact support when coupled to a smooth stress tensor. The proof of Theorem (12.1) proceeds by iterating Lemma (10.1) just as in the proof of Theorem (10.1). Applying another Galilean transformation to return to the original frame of reference, the theorem is obtained.

An Extension of Burzyński Hypothesis of Material Effort Accounting for the Third Invariant of Stress Tensor The aim of the paper is to propose an extension of the Burzyński hypothesis of material effort to account for the influence of the third invariant of stress tensor deviator. In the proposed formulation the contribution of the density of elastic energy of distortion in material effort is controlled by Lode angle. The resulted yield condition is analyzed and possible applications and comparison with the results known in the literature are discussed.
