Abstract
We study holographic defect conformal field theories which are dual to probe branes with bottom-up methods. First we determine the embedding of codimension-1 interface branes in AdS space. Then we compute defect one and two-point functions of heavy scalar operators at strong coupling. We use geodesic approximations to compute reflected two-point functions in two ways, as well as ambient and defect-channel two-point functions. In appropriate limits, our results agree with the operator product expansion (OPE) and the boundary operator expansion (BOE).
