Central charges of 2d superconformal defects

Abstract In conformal field theories (CFTs) of dimension d > 3, two-dimensional (2d) conformal defects are characterised in part by central charges defined via the defect’s contribution to the trace anomaly. However, in general for interacting CFTs these central charges are difficult to calculate...
