Abstract

A holographic duality was recently established between an non-geometric AdS solution of type IIB supergravity in the so-called S-fold class, and a three-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) defined as a limit of super-Yang-Mills at an interface. Using gauged supergravity, the conformal manifold (CM) of this CFT has been assessed to be two-dimensional. Here, we holographically characterise the large- operator spectrum of the marginally-deformed CFT. We do this by, firstly, providing the algebraic structure of the complete Kaluza-Klein (KK) spectrum on the associated two-parameter family of AdS solutions. And, secondly, by computing the supermultiplet dimensions at the first few KK levels on a lattice in the CM, using new exceptional field theory techniques. Our KK analysis also allows us to establish that, at least at large , this CM is topologically a non-compact cylindrical Riemann surface bounded on only one side.
