  1. Weyl Anomaly Coefficients of Holographic Defect CFTs at Weak and Strong Coupling

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    The type-A Weyl anomaly coefficient b for holographic defect CFTs is negative in a finite parameter region at both weak and strong coupling, providing the first explicit example of an interacting unitary dCFT with b<0.

  2. From Weyl Anomaly to Defect Supersymmetric R\'enyi Entropy and Casimir Energy

    hep-th 2025-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    In 6D (2,0) theories, defect supersymmetric Rényi entropy contribution is linear in 1/n and equals a constant times (2b - d2); Casimir energy contribution equals -d2 (up to constant) in the chiral algebra limit.
