New Results in the D3/D5 Supersymmetric Defect CFT*

The D3/D5 brane intersection has long formed the basis of studies of field theories containing localized defects, both in holographic and non-holographic contexts. In this talk I will share some new results about the supersymmetry variations of the (3+1)d supersymmetric CFT with (2+1)d localized defect generated by this intersection, including preliminary results about novel soliton states these variations allow us to probe, and some insights about holography in this system. (Talk based on work with Andy Royston.)
