    In this paper, we find solutions of minimal [Formula: see text] gauged supergravity corresponding to Janus and RG-flow interfaces. We use holography to calculate symmetric and interface entanglement entropy as well as reflection coefficients and confirm that a recently proposed1inequality involving these quantities is satisfied for the solutions found here.

    We study non-invertible defects in two-dimensionalSNorbifold CFTs. We construct universal defects which do not depend on the details of the seed CFT and hence exist in any orbifold CFT. Additionally, we investigate non-universal defects arising from the topological defects of the seed CFT. We argue that there exist universal defects that are non-trivial in the large-Nlimit, making them relevant for the AdS3/CFT2correspondence. We then focus on AdS3×S3×$$ {\mathcal{M}}_4 $$ M 4 with one unit of NS-NS flux and propose an explicit realization of these defects on the worldsheet.

    A<sc>bstract</sc> In this brief note we calculate the entanglement entropy inM⊗N/SNsymmetric orbifold CFTs in the presence of topological defects, which were recently constructed in [1, 2]. We consider both universal defects which realizeRep(SN) non-invertible symmetry and non-universal defects. We calculate the sub-leading defect entropy/g-factor for defects at the boundary of the entangling surface as well as inside it.

    A<sc>bstract</sc> We consider the uplift of co-dimension two defect solutions of seven dimensional gauged supergravity to eleven dimensions, previously found by two of the authors. The uplifted solutions are expressed as Lin-Lunin-Maldacena solutions and an infinite family of regular solutions describing holographic defects is found using the electrostatic formulation of LLM solutions.

    In this note we present a solution of N=4,d=7 gauged supergravity which is holographically dual to a co-dimension two defect living in a six dimensional SCFT. The solution is obtained by double analytic continuation of a two charge supersymmetric black hole solution. The condition that no conical deficits are present in the bulk and on the boundary is satisfied by a one parameter family of solutions for which some holographic observables are computed.

    A bstract In this paper, we continue the study of Janus and RG-flow interfaces in three dimensional supergravity continuing the work presented in [1]. We consider $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 8 gauged supergravity theories which have a $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (4 , 4) AdS 3 vacuum with D 1 (2 , 1; α ) × D 1 (2 , 1; α ) symmetry for general α . We derive the BPS flow equations and find numerical solutions. Some holographic quantities such as the entanglement entropy are calculated.

    A bstract In this paper, we construct Janus-type solutions of three-dimensional gauged supergravity with sixteen supersymmetries. We find solutions which correspond to interfaces between the same CFT on both sides, as well as RG-flow interfaces between CFTs with different numbers of supersymmetries and central charges. The solutions are obtained by solving the flow equations derived from the supersymmetry variations, and they preserve some fraction of the supersymmetries of the AdS 3 vacua.

    A bstract Janus solutions are constructed in d = 3, $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 8 gauged supergravity. We find explicit half-BPS solutions where two scalars in the SO(1, 8)/SO(8) coset have a nontrivial profile. These solutions correspond on the CFT side to an interface with a position-dependent expectation value for a relevant operator and a source which jumps across the interface for a marginal operator.

    A bstract We use holography to study codimension-2 surface defects in 5d SCFTs engineered by ( p , q ) 5-brane webs. The three-dimensional defects are realized by D3-branes ending on the brane web. We identify the holographic representation of the defects in Type IIB AdS 6 solutions as probe D3-branes, and study conformal and non-conformal defects which, respectively, preserve one half and one quarter of the supersymmetry. For a sample of 5d SCFTs, including the T N theories, we provide explicit solutions for conformal and non-conformal defects. For the conformal defects we obtain their contribution to the free energy on S 5 .

    Abstract We present a non-supersymmetric deformation of probe branes describing conformal defects of codimension two in AdS/CFT. The worldvolume of the probe branes is deformed from AdS p × S 1 embedded in an AdS p +2 × ℳ D  −  p  − 2 background to an embedding of Janus form, which uses an AdS p− 1 slicing of AdS p and in which the brane bends along the slicing coordinate. In field theory terms this realizes conformal interfaces on codimension- two defects. We discuss these “Janus on the brane” solutions for AdS 3 × S 1 D3-branes in the AdS 5 × S 5 solution of Type IIB, realizing interfaces on surface defects in $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 SYM, and show that similar solutions exist for probe branes in AdS p +2 × S 9 −p vacua of M-theory and in the AdS 6 × S 4 solution of massive Type IIA.
