An unusual BPS equation
Constantin Bachas, Lorenzo Bianchi, Zhongwu Chen
We prove a conjectured relation between the energy-momentum and the displacement norm of superconformal defects. The proof completes earlier results, and shows that supersymmetry i…
Invariant tensions from holography
Constantin Bachas, Zhongwu Chen
We revisit the problem of defining an invariant notion of tension in gravity. For spacetimes whose asymptotics are those of a Defect CFT we propose two independent definitions : Gr…
Energy Transport for Thick Holographic Branes
Constantin Bachas, Stefano Baiguera, Shira Chapman +2
Universal properties of two-dimensional conformal interfaces are encoded by the flux of energy transmitted and reflected during a scattering process. We develop an innovative metho…
Steady States of Holographic Interfaces
Constantin Bachas, Zhongwu Chen, Vassilis Papadopoulos
We find stationary thin-brane geometries that are dual to far-from-equilibrium steady states of two-dimensional holographic interfaces. The flow of heat at the boundary agrees with…
Phases of Holographic Interfaces
Constantin Bachas, Vassilis Papadopoulos
We compute the phase diagram of the simplest holographic bottom-up model of conformal interfaces. The model consists of a thin domain wall between three-dimensional Anti-de Sitter…
Energy Reflection and Transmission at 2D Holographic Interfaces
Constantin Bachas, Shira Chapman, Dongsheng Ge +1
Scattering from conformal interfaces in two dimensions is universal in that the flux of reflected and transmitted energy does not depend on the details of the initial state. In thi…
