Abstract

We revisit the computation of 2-point correlation functions of \tfrac12-BPS operators in the 6d, N=(2,0) theory in the presence of a surface defect. We focus on the protected sector described by the chiral algebra and reproduce its correlators using a bootstrap approach. A unique feature of this calculation is that we can completely determine the answer by using bulk-channel data only. We, also, perform the operator expansion in the defect channel which provide new predictions for the theory.
