Title: Janus on the brane

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 AdSp × S1 embedded in an AdSp+2 × MD–p–2 background to an embedding of Janus form, which uses an AdSp–1 slicing of AdSp 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 AdS3 × S1 D3-branes in the AdS5 × S5 solution of Type IIB, realizing interfaces on surface defects in N = 4 SYM, and show that similar solutions exist for probe branes in AdSp+2 × S9–p vacua of M-theory and in the AdS6 × S4 solution of massive Type IIA.
