An Unusual BPS Equation
Abstract: I will present the proof of a conjectured relation between the energy-momentum tensor and the displacement norm of superconformal defects. I will discuss implications for the definition of an invariant tension in Anti-de Sitter gravity, and for the radiation-reaction problem for moving charges.
