Description

I describe novel supersymmetric configurations with line and local operators in 3d theories with N ≥ 4 supersymmetry and explain how to extract defect CFT data using localization. As an application, I will compute defect correlators of the stress tensor multiplet in ABJM with the 1/2-BPS Wilson line.
