DESCRIPTION:Philine van Vliet (DESY Hamburg)\nLine defects play an importa
 nt role in our understanding of QFTs\, explaining interesting phenomena in
  both condensed matter physics and high-energy theories\, and giving acces
 s to new data and observables.\n\nI will discuss recent work in which we e
 xplore 1d conformal line defects with an additional O(2) symmetry using th
 e numerical bootstrap. The starting point is an agnostic approach\, where 
 we perfom a systematic bootstrap study of correlation functions between tw
 o canonical defect operators: the displacement and the tilt. We then move 
 on to study two specific defects: a monodromy line defect and a localized 
 magnetic field line defect. I will highlight the results of the latter one
 \, where we found a series of intriguing cusps which we investigate.
