Explore conformal defects and renormalization group flows in this academic seminar delivered by Professor Silvia Penati from Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca at the Isaac Newton Institute. Delve into the mathematical foundations of quantum field theory as it relates to boundaries, impurities, and defects through this specialized research presentation. Examine the theoretical framework connecting conformal field theory with defect structures and understand how renormalization group flows affect these systems. Learn about the latest developments in this advanced area of mathematical physics, including the behavior of quantum field theories in the presence of various types of defects and their conformal properties. Gain insights into the mathematical techniques used to analyze these complex systems and their applications in theoretical physics. This seminar forms part of the broader research programme on "Quantum field theory with boundaries, impurities, and defects" hosted by the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences.
