Description
I will discuss recent interpretations of AdS3 solutions as holographic duals of surface defect CFTs. One solution will be interpreted as an extension of ABJM to the massive case, in which one of the external directions becomes an energy scale and generates a flow towards an AdS3 space. A second solution will be related to surface defects embedded in 6d (1,0) CFTs living in D6-NS5-D8 brane intersections. In this second example we will find an interesting connection with the phenomenon of deconstruction.
