Heavy holographic correlators in defect conformal field theories
Georgios Linardopoulos, Chanyong Park
We study holographic defect conformal field theories which are dual to probe branes with bottom-up methods. First we determine the embedding of codimension-1 interface branes in Ad…
Holography of a novel codimension-2 defect CFT
George Georgiou, Georgios Linardopoulos, Dimitrios Zoakos
We propose and study a new holographic duality between a non-supersymmetric defect conformal field theory (dCFT) and its gravity dual. On the gravity side, the defect is realised b…
B-type anomaly coefficients for the D3-D7 domain wall
Georgios Linardopoulos
We compute B-type Weyl anomaly coefficients for the two non-supersymmetric codimension-1 domain wall versions of N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory which are holographically dual to the…
Turbulent aspects of BMN membrane dynamics
Minos Axenides, Emmanuel Floratos, Georgios Linardopoulos
We investigate the large-N limit of the BMN matrix model with classical bosonic membranes which have spherical topologies and spin inside the 11-dimensional maximally supersymmetri…
String theory methods for defect CFTs
Georgios Linardopoulos
We discuss string theory methods for the study of strongly coupled holographic defect conformal field theories (CFTs) which are dual to probe-brane systems. First, we examine wheth…
