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.
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.
Holographic probe-brane calculations produce defect one- and two-point functions of heavy scalars that match OPE and BOE limits.
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.
