Explore a comprehensive mathematical seminar examining the classification and properties of conformal defects in quantum field theory. Delivered by William Pannell from King's College London at the Isaac Newton Institute, this academic presentation systematically surveys various types of conformal defects and their characteristics within the framework of quantum field theories with boundaries, impurities, and defects. Delve into the mathematical structures that govern these defects, their conformal properties, and their role in modern theoretical physics. Gain insights into current research methodologies for cataloging and understanding conformal defects, including their applications in condensed matter physics and string theory. The seminar forms part of the broader research programme on quantum field theory with boundaries, impurities, and defects, providing essential knowledge for researchers and advanced students working in mathematical physics, conformal field theory, and related areas of theoretical physics.
