We construct a continuous one parameter family of $AdS_4times S^1times S^5$ S-fold solutions of type IIB string theory which have nontrivial $SL(2,mathbb{Z})$ monodromy in the $S^1$ direction. The solutions span a subset of a conformal manifold that contains the known $mathcal{N}=4$ S-fold SCFT in $d=3$, and generically preserve $mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetry. We also construct RG flows across dimensions, from $AdS_5times S^5$, dual to $mathcal{N}=4$, $d=4$ SYM compactified with a twisted spatial circle, to various $AdS_4times S^1times S^5$ S-fold solutions, dual to $d=3$ SCFTs. We construct additional flows between the $AdS_5$ dual of the Leigh-Strassler SCFT and an $mathcal{N}=2$ S-fold as well as RG flows between various S-folds.

We show that there is a non-trivial relationship between the dilaton of IIB supergravity, and the coset of scalar fields in five-dimensional, gauged N=8 supergravity. This has important consequences for the running of the gauge coupling in massive pe
rturbations of the AdS/CFT correspondence. We conjecture an exact analytic expression for the ten-dimensional dilaton in terms of five-dimensional quantities, and we test this conjecture. Specifically, we construct a family of solutions to IIB supergravity that preserve half of the supersymmetries, and are lifts of supersymmetric flows in five-dimensional, gauged N=8 supergravity. Via the AdS/CFT correspondence these flows correspond to softly broken N=4, large N Yang-Mills theory on part of the Coulomb branch of N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills. Our solutions involve non-trivial backgrounds for all the tensor gauge fields as well as for the dilaton and axion.
We construct infinite new classes of $AdS_4times S^1times S^5$ solutions of type IIB string theory which have non-trivial $SL(2,mathbb{Z})$ monodromy along the $S^1$ direction. The solutions are supersymmetric and holographically dual, generically, t
o $mathcal{N}=1$ SCFTs in $d=3$. The solutions are first constructed as $AdS_4times mathbb{R}$ solutions in $D=5$ $SO(6)$ gauged supergravity and then uplifted to $D=10$. Unlike the known $AdS_4times mathbb{R}$ S-fold solutions, there is no continuous symmetry associated with the $mathbb{R}$ direction. The solutions all arise as limiting cases of Janus solutions of $d=4$, $mathcal{N}=4$ SYM theory which are supported both by a different value of the coupling constant on either side of the interface, as well as by fermion and boson mass deformations. As special cases, the construction recovers three known S-fold constructions, preserving $mathcal{N}=1,2$ and 4 supersymmetry, as well as a recently constructed $mathcal{N}=1$ $AdS_4times S^1times S^5$ solution (not S-folded). We also present some novel one-sided Janus solutions that are non-singular.
We deform a defect conformal field theory by an exactly marginal bulk operator and we consider the dependence on the marginal coupling of flat and spherical defect expectation values. For even dimensional spherical defects we find a logarithmic diver
gence which can be related to a $a$-type defect anomaly coefficient. This coefficient, for defect theories, is not invariant on the conformal manifold and its dependence on the coupling is controlled to all orders by the one-point function of the associated exactly marginal operator. For odd-dimensional defects, the flat and spherical case exhibit different qualitative behaviors, generalizing to arbitrary dimensions the line-circle anomaly of superconformal Wilson loops. Our results also imply a non-trivial coupling dependence for the recently proposed defect $C$-function. We finally apply our general result to a few specific examples, including superconformal Wilson loops and Renyi entropy.
Boundary, defect, and interface RG flows, as exemplified by the famous Kondo model, play a significant role in the theory of quantum fields. We study in detail the holographic dual of a non-conformal supersymmetric impurity in the D1/D5 CFT. Its RG f
low bears similarities to the Kondo model, although unlike the Kondo model the CFT is strongly coupled in the holographic regime. The interface we study preserves $d = 1$ $mathcal{N} = 4$ supersymmetry and flows to conformal fixed points in both the UV and IR. The interfaces UV fixed point is described by $d = 1$ fermionic degrees of freedom, coupled to a gauge connection on the CFT target space that is induced by the ADHM construction. We briefly discuss its field-theoretic properties before shifting our focus to its holographic dual. We analyze the supergravity dual of this interface RG flow, first in the probe limit and then including gravitational backreaction. In the probe limit, the flow is realized by the puffing up of probe branes on an internal $mathsf{S}^3$ via the Myers effect. We further identify the backreacted supergravity configurations dual to the interface fixed points. These supergravity solutions provide a geometric realization of critical screening of the defect degrees of freedom. This critical screening arises in a way similar to the original Kondo model. We compute the $g$-factor both in the probe brane approximation and using backreacted supergravity solutions, and show that it decreases from the UV to the IR as required by the $g$-theorem.
Sum rules connecting low-energy observables to high-energy physics are an interesting way to probe the mechanism of inflation and its ultraviolet origin. Unfortunately, such sum rules have proven difficult to study in a cosmological setting. Motivate
d by this problem, we investigate a precise analogue of inflation in anti-de Sitter spacetime, where it becomes dual to a slow renormalization group flow in the boundary quantum field theory. This dual description provides a firm footing for exploring the constraints of unitarity, analyticity, and causality on the bulk effective field theory. We derive a sum rule that constrains the bulk coupling constants in this theory. In the bulk, the sum rule is related to the speed of radial propagation, while on the boundary, it governs the spreading of nonlocal operators. When the spreading speed approaches the speed of light, the sum rule is saturated, suggesting that the theory becomes free in this limit. We also discuss whether similar results apply to inflation, where an analogous sum rule exists for the propagation speed of inflationary fluctuations.
