<strong>Holographic</strong> duals <strong>of</strong> 2d <strong>in</strong>terface theories<br />

M. Gutperle UCLA<br />

Multi-Janus solutions<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 />

• Application to physical systems
