We studied the p-dimensional conformal defect of a free Dirac fermion on a d-dimensional flat space and found important properties regarding boundary conditions. For a two-codimensional defect, a double trace deformation triggers a renormalization group flow from the Neumann boundary condition to the Dirichlet boundary condition, with the free energy at the UV fixed point always larger than that at the IR fixed point.
We describe a p-dimensional conformal defect of a free Dirac fermion on a d-dimensional flat space as boundary conditions on a conformally equivalent space H(p+1)xS(d-p-1). We classify allowed boundary conditions and find that the Dirichlet type of boundary conditions always exists while the Neumann type of boundary condition exists only for a two-codimensional defect. For the two-codimensional defect, a double trace deformation triggers a renormalization group flow from the Neumann boundary condition to the Dirichlet boundary condition, and the free energy at UV fixed point is always larger than that at IR fixed point. This provides us with further support of a conjectured C-theorem in DCFT.
