Abstract: We consider a codimension two defect called "twist defect." We apply the framework of Rychkov-Tan to the twist defect at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point in the (4−ϵ -dimensional O(N) theory. We obtain the scaling dimensions of the operators on the defect up to the lowest nontrivial order in the ϵ-expansion. These results agree with the results by the Feynman diagrammatic calculation. We also study the twist defect in the large N limit.
