We study $mathrm{AdS}_3times S^3/mathbb{Z}_ktimes {tilde S}^3/mathbb{Z}_{k}$ solutions to M-theory preserving $mathcal{N}=(0,4)$ supersymmetries, arising as near-horizon limits of M2-M5 brane intersections ending on M5-branes, with both types of five-branes placed on A-type singularities. Solutions in this class asymptote locally to $mathrm{AdS}_7/mathbb{Z}_ktimes {tilde S}^3/mathbb{Z}_{k}$, and can thus be interpreted as holographic duals to surface defect CFTs within the $mathcal{N}=(1,0)$ 6d CFT dual to this solution. Upon reduction to Type IIA, we obtain a new class of solutions of the form $mathrm{AdS}_3times S^3/mathbb{Z}_ktimes S^2 times Sigma_2$ preserving (0,4) supersymmetries. We construct explicit 2d quiver CFTs dual to these solutions, describing D2-D4 surface defects embedded within the 6d (1,0) quiver CFT dual to the $mathrm{AdS}_7/mathbb{Z}_k$ solution to massless IIA. Finally, in the massive case, we show that the recently constructed $mathrm{AdS}_3times S^2times mathrm{CY}_2$ solutions with $mathcal{N}=(0,4)$ supersymmetries gain a defect interpretation when $mathrm{CY}_2=T^4$ as surface CFTs originating from D2-NS5-D6 defects embedded within the 5d CFT dual to the Brandhuber-Oz $mathrm{AdS}_6$ background.
We study the two-point function of local operators in the presence of a defect in a generic conformal field theory. We define two pairs of cross ratios, which are convenient in the analysis of the OPE in the bulk and defect channel respectively. The
Defect extremal surface is defined by extremizing the Ryu-Takayanagi formula corrected by the quantum defect theory. This is interesting when the AdS bulk contains a defect brane (or string). We introduce a defect extremal surface formula for reflect
We investigate the complexity=volume proposal in the case of Janus AdS$_3$ geometries, both at zero and finite temperature. The leading contribution coming from the Janus interface is a logarithmic divergence, whose coefficient is a function of the d
We construct an eternal traversable wormhole connecting two asymptotically $text{AdS}_4$ regions. The wormhole is dual to the ground state of a system of two identical holographic CFTs coupled via a single low-dimension operator. The coupling between
We study quantum corrections to holographic entanglement entropy in AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$; these are given by the bulk entanglement entropy across the Ryu-Takayanagi surface for all fields in the effective gravitational theory. We consider bulk $U(1)$ gaug
