Abstract

We construct a new family of solutions to Type IIB supergravity arising as near-horizon geometries of D1-F1-D3-D5-NS5-D7 brane intersections preserving 4 supersymmetries. We show that a subclass of these solutions asymptotes locally to the solution to Type IIB supergravity holographically dual to the five dimensional Sp(N) fixed point theory. This suggests that these solutions can be interpreted as D1-F1-D3 line defects within this CFT. Switching off the D7-branes, we act with to construct a second family of solutions that can be related to an class of M-theory backgrounds describing surface defects within the six dimensional (1,0) SCFT dual to . Finally, using non-Abelian T-duality we construct new classes of solutions to Type IIA supergravity with 4 supercharges and elaborate on their M-theory origin.
