Introduction<br />
duality is one <strong>of</strong> the best studied examples <strong>of</strong> AdS/CFT<br />
• Near horizon limit <strong>of</strong> D5/D1 or NS5/F1 bound states (or SL(2,Z)<br />
orbits)<br />
• type IIB solution: AdS 3 × S 3 × K 3 (T 4 ) with self-dual NS-NS or R-R<br />
three form flux<br />
• Vacuum preserves 16 supersymmetries<br />
• CFT: N=(4,4) 2 dimensional SCFT<br />
• Important for entropy count<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> (near) extremal BH, Hawk<strong>in</strong>g<br />
radiation etc.<br />
• NS-NS vacuum can be described us<strong>in</strong>g standard worldsheet<br />
techniques

Introduction<br />
Defects and <strong><strong>in</strong>terfaces</strong> are <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> 2 dim CFT for many reasons:<br />
• Fold<strong>in</strong>g trick allows to use mach<strong>in</strong>ery <strong>of</strong> boundary CFT<br />
• defect/<strong>in</strong>terface entropy analog <strong>of</strong> boundary entropy<br />
• For higher dimensional <strong><strong>in</strong>terfaces</strong>/defect <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>terplay<br />
between Chern-Simons action, Theta-angles, supersymetry<br />
• Many <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g new developments: topological <strong><strong>in</strong>terfaces</strong>, fusion<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong><strong>in</strong>terfaces</strong> etc<br />
• Application to condensed matter: Kondo effect, quantum wires<br />
Goal: holographic <strong>description</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong><strong>in</strong>terfaces</strong> and defects <strong>in</strong><br />
AdS 3 × S 3 × K 3 (T 4 )

Ansatz for <strong>in</strong>terface theory AdS 3 × S 3 × M 4<br />
Construction proceeds analogous to constructions <strong>of</strong> Susy Janus solutions:<br />
• AdS 3 × S 3 has global bosonic symmetry SO(2, 2) × SO(4)<br />
•1 dim conformal defect preserves SO(2, 1) corresp. to AdS 2<br />
• Superconformal defect preserves 8 <strong>of</strong> the 16 supersymmetries:<br />
type II solution should have 8 unbroken susys<br />
• SO(4) R-symmetry is reduced to SO(3) corresp. to S 2 express<br />
three sphere as a fibration <strong>of</strong> a two sphere over an <strong>in</strong>terval<br />
Susy-Janus ansatz depends on two coord<strong>in</strong>ates x,y<br />
y ∈ [0, π]<br />
• Internal moduli associated with four torus or K3 are not turned on<br />
Ansatz:<br />

Summary<br />
• Solution with n asymptotic regions has n half spaces glued by an<br />
<strong>in</strong>terface<br />
• Moduli space <strong>of</strong> solutions has dimension 6n-6<br />
• In each asymptotic region there is 3-sphere and NS-NS or R-R flux<br />
(or both)<br />
• Scalar fields take different asymptotic values: Generalization <strong>of</strong> Janus<br />
solution to many asymptotic regions.<br />
• Central charge <strong>of</strong> CFT can be different <strong>in</strong> different asymptotic regions<br />
• No five form charge (no D3 brane flux)<br />
• Many <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g th<strong>in</strong>gs to calculate: <strong>Holographic</strong> calculation <strong>of</strong><br />
correlation functions, <strong>in</strong>terface entropy etc<br />
• Fusion <strong>of</strong> <strong><strong>in</strong>terfaces</strong> <strong>in</strong> holographic dual ?<br />

Conclusions<br />
•We have constructed the half BPS Janus solution for type IIB<br />
which is locally asymptotic to AdS 3 × S 3 × K 3<br />
• <strong>Holographic</strong> dual to <strong>in</strong>terface CFT <strong>in</strong> 2dim D5/D1 CFT<br />
• Solution with more than two asymptotic regions: Both NS<br />

Backreacted solution <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>tersect<strong>in</strong>g branes ?<br />
• No Five form charge present if Riemann surface Σ is the disk<br />
• Constructed solution where Riemann surface Σ is disk with n<br />
