Free energy and defect C-theorem in free fermion

Abstract We describe a p-dimensional conformal defect of a free Dirac fermion on a d-dimensional flat space as boundary conditions on a conformally equivalent space ℍ p+1 × S $$ \mathbbm{S} $$ d−p−1. We classify allowed boundary conditions and find that the Dirichlet type of boundary conditions alwa...
