Abstract We consider two conformal defects close to each other in a free theory, and study what happens as the distance between them goes to zero. This limit is the same as zooming out, and the two defects have fused to another defect. As we zoom in we find a non-conformal effective action for the fused defect. Among other things this means that we cannot in general decompose the two-point correlator of two defects in terms of other conformal defects. We prove the fusion using the path integral formalism by treating the defects as sources for a scalar in the bulk.

We calculate the [Formula: see text](1) axial-anomaly in two and four dimensions using a modified path integral method coupled to a Pauli–Villars regulator field in the noncommutative QED. Pauli–Villars regularization method provides us with unambiguous way to connect the modified path integral formalism with perturbative axial Ward identities at each step of calculations.

A quantization of one-dimensional supergravity, which leads to a Dirac spin 1/2 particle, is considered. A propagator of this particle is calculated in the path integral formalism. A covariant procedure (which involves ghosts) is applied in the unitary gauge. We show that supersymmetry can remove the discrepancy between the covariant and unitary quantization procedure, which was discovered in Ref. 4 for the case of nonsupersymmetric gravitational theories.
