 ">Monodromy Defects in QFT and Holography</a>\nby Matthew Roberts (APCTP) 
 as part of NKUA HEP Seminars\n\nLecture held in TBA.\n\nAbstract\nWith an 
 aim to further quantify non-pertubative defects in quantum field theory\, 
 we study two-dimensional magnetic defects in four dimensional SUSY quantum
  field theories which preserve a two-dimensional superconformal symmetry a
 long the defect. These can be thought of as an infrared limit of a magneti
 c solenoid. On general grounds such magnetic defects support localized chi
 ral edge states\, and in our system we generically preserve a (0\,2) super
 symmetry. We compute various physical observables such induced currents ro
 tating around the solenoid\, as well as central charges of the defect\, as
  a function of the monodromies. Time permitting\, we also comment on the a
 nalagous case of one dimensional defects in three dimensional QFTs.\n
