Abstract: Given a 4d $mathcalN=2$ supersymmetric theory with an $mathcalN=(2,2)$ supersymmetric surface defect, a marginal perturbation of the bulk theory induces a complex structure deformation of the defect moduli space. We describe a concrete way of computing this deformation using the bulk-defect OPE.
