BID - Quantum field theory with boundaries, impurities, and defects

There has recently been considerable interest in describing the universality classes that can live on impurities within an otherwise conformal system. A number of these defects, such as the magnetic line defect in the O(N) model, have been studied extensively, but a more complete list of such theories is lacking. In this talk I will detail a series of recent works advancing a partial classification of lines, surfaces and interfaces appearing in scalar, and scalar-fermion bulks in d=4-ε. I will then discuss various generalizations of these defects, such as composite defects as well as defects lying within an RG interface between bulk universality classes.
