Fusion of defects / Arthur Bartels, Christopher L. Douglas, Andre Henriques.

Conformal nets provide a mathematical model for conformal field theory. The authors define a notion of defect between conformal nets, formalizing the idea of an interaction between two conformal field theories. They introduce an operation of fusion of defects, and prove that the fusion of two defect...
