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

Many boundaries<br />

Multi-Janus solution can be generalized<br />

• Riemann surface with h boundaries (and g-handles)<br />

• F<strong>in</strong>d solutions with nonzero five brane charge<br />

• Degenerations <strong>of</strong> Riemann surfaces: what do they mean for<br />

<strong>in</strong>terface theory ?<br />

Simplest example: annulus with two poles on the same boundary<br />

S 3<br />

x H,1 x H,2<br />

C<br />

Two nontrivial three cycles and charges<br />

˜K is not s<strong>in</strong>gle valued around C: five form<br />

charge does not vanish<br />
