Phases of Wilson Lines in Conformal Field Theories

Aharony, Ofer, Cuomo, Gabriel, Komargodski, Zohar et al.

Understand

We study the low-energy limit of Wilson lines (charged impurities) in conformal gauge theories in 2+1 and 3+1 dimensions.

As a function of the representation of the Wilson line, certain defect operators can become marginal, leading to interesting renormalization group flows and for sufficiently large representations to complete or partial screening by charged fields.
This result is universal: in large enough representations, Wilson lines are screened by the charged matter fields.
We observe that the onset of the screening instability is associated with fixed-point mergers.
