Fusion of perturbed defects in conformal field theory

The infinite-dimensional symmetry algebra of a conformal field theory (CFT), the Virasoro algebra, is generated by the holomorphic and anti-holomorphic part of the stress tensor. Besides such 'chiral symmetries' the CFT also has an integrable symmetry, that is, infinite families of commuti...
