Abstract

In this note we construct a solution of six-dimensional F(4)F(4) gauged supergravity using AdS2×S3AdS_2\times S^3 warped over an interval as an ansatz. The solution is completely regular, preserves eight of the sixteen supersymmetries of the AdS6AdS_6 vacuum and is a holographic realization of a line defect in a dual five-dimensional theory. We calculate the expectation value of the defect and the one-point function of the stress tensor in the presence of the defect using holographic renormalization.
