Defect CFT in the 6d (2,0) theory from M2 brane dynamics in AdS7 × S 4
Abstract Surface operators in the 6d (2,0) theory at large N have a holographic description in terms of M2 branes probing the AdS7 × S 4 M-theory background. The most symmetric, 1/2-BPS, operator is defined over a planar or spherical surface, and it preserves a 2d superconformal group. This includes...
