Because of the preeminent role of Conformal Theories in Nature, as well as the great generality of the results here obtained, this analysis directly applies to many different areas of research. The content of this thesis is certainly relevant for the physics community as a whole and this relevance is well motivated and discussed along the various chapters of this work. The work is self-contained and starts with an original introduction to conformal theories, defects in such theories and how they lead to constraints on data and an extension of the bootstrap programme. This situation is often realized by critical systems with impurities, topological insulators, or -in the high-energy context- by Wilson and 't Hooft operators. The thesis continues with original research results of the author, including supersymmetric extensions. These results may be relevant non only in the high energy physics context - where supersymmetry is required for the theory to be consistent - but also for condensed matter systems that enjoy supersymmetry emergence at long distances. 000913201 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000913201 650_0 $$aConformal mapping. 000913201 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aLauria, Edoardo$$tPoints, Lines, and Surfaces at Criticality$$dCham : Springer,c2019$$z9783030257293 000913201 830_0 $$aSpringer theses. 000913201 852__ $$bebk 000913201 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-25730-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000913201 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:913201$$pGLOBAL_SET 000913201 980__ $$aEBOOK 000913201 980__ $$aBIB 000913201 982__ $$aEbook 000913201 983__ $$aOnline 000913201 994__ $$a92$$bISE
