Abstract
We study fusion of two scalar Wilson defects. We propose that fusion holds at a quantum level by showing that bare one-point functions are the same. This is an expected result as the path integral is invariant under fusion of the two defects. The difference instead lies in renormalization of local quantities on the defects. Those on the fused defect takes into account UV divergences in the fusion limit when the two defects approach eachother, in addition to UV divergences in the coincident limit of defect-local fields and in the near defect limits of bulk-local fields. At the fixed point of the corresponding RG flow the two conformal defects have fused into a single conformal defect identical to one of the original scalar Wilson defects.
Parts of this paper was first presented in my thesis [1].
期刊介绍：
The aim of the Journal of High Energy Physics (JHEP) is to ensure fast and efficient online publication tools to the scientific community, while keeping that community in charge of every aspect of the peer-review and publication process in order to ensure the highest quality standards in the journal.
Consequently, the Advisory and Editorial Boards, composed of distinguished, active scientists in the field, jointly establish with the Scientific Director the journal''s scientific policy and ensure the scientific quality of accepted articles.
JHEP presently encompasses the following areas of theoretical and experimental physics:
Collider Physics
Underground and Large Array Physics
Quantum Field Theory
Gauge Field Theories
Symmetries
String and Brane Theory
General Relativity and Gravitation
Supersymmetry
Mathematical Methods of Physics
Mostly Solvable Models
Astroparticles
Statistical Field Theories
Mostly Weak Interactions
Mostly Strong Interactions
Quantum Field Theory (phenomenology)
Strings and Branes
Phenomenological Aspects of Supersymmetry
Mostly Strong Interactions (phenomenology).
