abstract
We consider certain supersymmetric configurations of intersecting branes and branes ending on branes and analyze the duality between their open and closed string interpretation. The examples we study are chosen such that we have the lower dimensional brane realizing an n+1 dimensional conformal field theory on its worldvolume and the higher dimensional one introducing a conformal boundary. We also consider two CFTs, possibly with different central charges, interacting along a common conformal boundary. We show with a probe calculation that the dual closed string description is in terms of gravity in an AdS_{n+2} bulk with an AdS_{n+1} defect or two different AdS_{n+2} spaces joined along a defect. We also comment briefly on the expected back-reaction.

Compactified 5D unparticle theories generate gapped excitations whose exchange in inflationary correlators yields oscillations modulated by anomalous dimensions and possible interference patterns under brane-localized interactions.
A D5-D7 brane configuration in AdS5 x S5 provides an interpolating holographic dual for defect CFTs, with anomaly cancellation and a conjectured SYM solution.
The type-A Weyl anomaly coefficient b for holographic defect CFTs is negative in a finite parameter region at both weak and strong coupling, providing the first explicit example of an interacting unitary dCFT with b<0.
In double holography, quantum backreaction from cutoff matter on a physical brane supplies a distinct color variable, resolving color-volume degeneracy for the quantum BTZ black hole.
Establishes correspondence between flat, thermal, and defect conformal partial waves via shadow formalism, obtaining thermal blocks from flat four-point and defect two-point functions and reducing the Casimir equation diagonally.
3d gravity on Σ_{g,n} × I with EOW branes equals the Virasoro minimal string random matrix model, with exact match for g=0 n=2 and inner-product formulation for negative Euler characteristic.
Derives several new quantum bit thread prescriptions equivalent to quantum extremal surfaces for static holographic states and introduces entanglement distribution functions organized into the entropohedron convex polytope.
Holographic models of interface CFTs connect the effective central charge in entanglement entropy to a limiting case of boundary entropy, while adding finite terms for non-crossing intervals to satisfy strong subadditivity.
Derives holographic one-point functions, stress tensor and Ward identities for defects in AdS5 and AdS6 from AdS2×S2, AdS2×S3 and AdS3×S2 backgrounds in Romans supergravity.
Holographic probe-brane calculations produce defect one- and two-point functions of heavy scalars that match OPE and BOE limits.
In a doubly holographic black hole model, the dimension of the microstate Hilbert space equals the sum of the quantum-corrected thermodynamic entropies of the left and right black holes, which equals the generalised entropy quantifying entanglement between the asymptotic boundaries.
Open Virasoro TQFT computes 3d gravity path integrals on compact regions using threshold-dependent boundary conditions and yields an open-closed duality relating Conformal Turaev-Viro theory to the diagonal sector of two Virasoro TQFT copies.
Review of holographic interpolations and one-point functions for codimension-2 defect CFTs in weak and strong coupling.
