Line defects and radiation in N=2 conformal theories.

Bianchi, Lorenzo and Lemos, Madalena and Meineri, Marco (2018) 'Line defects and radiation in N=2 conformal theories.', Physical review letters., 121 (14). p. 141601.

Abstract

We study the conformal data of a generic superconformal line defect preserving half of the supercharges in a four-dimensional N = 2 conformal theory. We prove a theory independent relation between the one-point function of the stress tensor in the presence of the line defect and the two-point function of the displacement operator. When the defect is interpreted as a heavy charged particle in a gauge theory, the result relates the energy emitted through bremsstrahlung with the coupling of the stress tensor to the particle at rest.
