Abstract
We present a novel framework for deriving integral constraints for correlators on conformal line defects. These constraints emerge from the nonlinearly realized ambient-space conformal symmetry. To validate our approach, we examine several examples and compare them against existing data for the four-point function of the displacement operator. Additionally, we provide a few new predictions that extend the current understanding of these correlators.Keywords
