Surprises in the ordinary: O(N) invariant surface defect in the ϵ-expansion by Oleksandr Diatlyk, Zimo Sun, Yifan Wang

“…This defect is defined by mass deformation on a two-dimensional surface that generates localized disorder and is conjectured to factorize into a pair of ordinary boundary conditions in d = 3. We determine defect CFT data associated with the lightest O(N) singlet and vector operators up to the third order in the ϵ-expansion, find agreements with results from numerical methods and provide support for the factorization proposal in d = 3. …”
