Conformal defects break a part of the bulk conformal symmetry and, sometimes, a part of the bulk global symmetry. Perhaps more appropriately, these symmetries can be seen as realized non-linearly and lead to identities for integrated correlation functions of displacement and tilt operators. In this talk I will discuss a systematic classification of such identities and explain how they incorporate Weyl and global symmetry anomalies associated with the defect.
