Janus Interfaces, S-Folds, and Conformal Manifolds

Abstract: In this talk I will present some recent holographic studies on Janus interfaces in four-dimensional N=4 SYM, and the CFTs living on these interfaces. Interestingly, these theories can be compactified on S^1, with an S-duality twist, resulting in a new class of three-dimensional CFTs, known as S-folds. Finally, I will discuss the conformal manifolds on which these S-fold CFTs lie, which preserve either three-dimensional N=1 or N=2 supersymmetry.
