Holographic dual of defect CFT with corner contributions

Abstract

We study defect CFT within the framework of holographic duality, emphasizing the impact of corner contributions. We model distinct conformal defects using interface branes that differ in tensions and are connected by a corner. Employing the relationship between CFT scaling dimensions and Euclidean gravity actions, we outline a general procedure for calculating the anomalous dimensions of defect changing operators at nontrivial cusps. Several analytical results are obtained, including the cusp anomalous dimensions at big and small angles. While $1/\varphi$ universal divergence appears for small cusp angles due to the fusion of two defects, more interestingly, we uncover a bubble phase rendered by a near zero angle cusp, in which the divergence is absent.
