Abstract

The interplay between bulk critical fluctuations and nontrivial topology can enrich defect physics and give rise to novel defect universality classes. Understanding the fate of such defects therefore constitutes an important open problem. In this work, we studied a particularly simple setting: a (0+1)-dimensional pinning-field defect coupled to a (2+1)-dimensional deconfined quantum critical bulk. Using the fuzzy-sphere regularization, we numerically investigated the defect operator spectrum and extracted several universal quantities characterizing the defect conformal fixed point, including the scaling dimensions of defect-changing(creating) operators and the defect g-function. These results establish the first numerical characterization of line-defect conformal data at deconfined quantum criticality and may stimulate further investigations of defect critical phenomena in topological quantum critical matter.
