abstract = {The conformal bootstrap is a powerful and nonperturbative
method to study Conformal Field Theories (CFTs). CFTs appear
as critical points of an array of physical theories.They
describe all ranges of physics: from second-order phase
transitions in condensed matter to D-branes in String Theory
and as duals of quantum gravity in AdS.Advancements in
especially the numerical bootstrap have led to extremely
precise results for the computation of critical exponents in
various CFTs, and the conformal bootstrap has gained a lot
of attention in recent years. CFTs can be generalized by
adding extended objects. These extended objects, called
defects, break the conformal symmetry group into a smaller
conformal subgroup, and the resulting defect theory can be
studied with the (defect) bootstrap. Defects are an
important part of physics. They describe boundaries of
condensed matter systems, Wilson lines in string theories,
and much more.In this talk I will give a general
introduction to the conformal bootstrap and show how it can
be used to study defect theories, in particular CFTs with a
line defect.I will discuss recent work with Aleix
Gimenez-Grau, Edoardo Lauria and Pedro Liendo where we
explore 1d line defects with an extra O(2) symmetry.},
