The Mellin formalism for boundary CFT_d

From MaRDI portal
Publication:1709358




Abstract: We extend the Mellin representation of conformal field theory (CFT) to allow for conformal boundaries and interfaces. We consider the simplest holographic setup dual to an interface CFT - a brane filling an AdSd subspace of AdSd+1 - and perform a systematic study of Witten diagrams in this setup. As a byproduct of our analysis, we show that geodesic Witten diagrams in this geometry reproduce interface CFTd conformal blocks, generalizing the analogous statement for CFTs with no defects.
