Minimal Submanifolds asymptotic to AdS4xS2 in AdS5xS5

Understand

In this work, as an attempt in understanding the interplay between deformations of the external and internal spaces associated with the probe-brane embedding submanifold, we construct the zero-temperature phase diagram for the coupled phase between two two-dimensional defects stacked parallel in a four-dimensional ambient spacetime.

• Different UV parameters are turned on for different defects.
• We study the system in the quenched strong coupling limit, using holography with probe brane approximation, realized explicitly through the D3/D5 system.
• This coupled phase is holographic dual to the presence of spontaneous symmetry breaking of the individual ultraviolet flavor symmetries associated with the double heterostructure of the defect layers.
