Description

I will discuss Gukov-Witten surface defects in N=4 Super Yang-Mills from the point of view of the analytic conformal bootstrap. These defects are defined by the singular behaviour of the gauge and scalar fields along a surface. After reviewing a recently derived conformal dispersion relation, I will show how to bootstrap the two-point functions of bulk operators in presence of a surface defect.
