Holographic M5 branes in $Ad{S}_7\times S^4$

Abstract

We study classical M5 brane solutions in the probe limit in the $Ad{S}_7\times S^4$ background geometry that preserve the minimal amount of supersymmetry. These solutions describe the holography of codimension-2 defects in the 6d boundary dual N=(0,2) supersymmetric gauge theories. The general solution is described in terms of holomorphic functions that satisfy a scaling condition. We show the behavior of the world-volume of a special class of BPS solutions near the AdS boundary region can be characterized by general equations, which describe it as intersections of the zeros of holomorphic functions in three complex variables with a 5-sphere.
