An SL(2,C)-parametrized family of exactly solvable non-unitary conformal interfaces is constructed on the lattice in unitary CFTs via analytic continuation, leading to a non-unitary Cardy condition and logarithmic entanglement with generally complex effective central charge.

Analytic continuation of marginal couplings produces complex CFTs, with no genuinely complex rational CFTs existing, and exact defect results verified in non-Hermitian Ising and fermion chains.
Conformal perturbation theory is applied to surface defects in O(N) models in 4-ε dimensions to reproduce known flows and construct new ones, with controlled changes in displacement and tilt normalizations and novel features like vortices on non-simply-connected manifolds.
Parameterized families of toric code Hamiltonians realize em-duality pumping and higher-order anyon pumping, diagnosed by topological pumping into tensor-network bond spaces and corner modes.
A 2-form connection is defined in the space of open string field theory solutions, producing invariant higher holonomies and 3-form curvature potentially corresponding to the B-field.
Diabolical critical points are stable higher-codimension defects in parameter space of quantum and classical many-body systems, defined by non-trivial winding of nearby equilibrium states.
Generalized quantum dimensions from SymTFTs classify massless and massive RG flows in pseudo-Hermitian systems and relate coset constructions to domain walls.
Anomaly inflow on monodromy defects in anomalous symmetry theories defines them as domain walls inducing topological order, yielding protected chiral edge modes and adiabatic pumping of gapless degrees of freedom, verified in chiral symmetry examples on continuum and lattice.
Constructs Z_N extended fusion rings and modular partition functions for nonanomalous subgroups, extending to multicomponent systems and orbifoldings in CFTs.
Framework using smeared boundary CFTs classifies gapped phases dual to massless RG flows, showing they often spontaneously break non-group-like symmetries via unusual module structures outside standard boundary critical phenomena.
