Abstract

We study supersymmetric Janus solutions from matter-coupled F(4)F(4) gauged supergravity coupled to three vector multiplets and SO(4)SO(3)×SO(3)SO(4)\sim SO(3)\times SO(3) gauge group. There are two supersymmetric AdS6AdS_6 vacua preserving all supersymmetries with SO(3)×SO(3)SO(3)\times SO(3) and SO(3)diagSO(3)_{\textrm{diag}} symmetries dual to N=2N=2 SCFTs in five dimensions. We consider a truncation to SO(2)diagSO(3)diagSO(2)_{\textrm{diag}}\subset SO(3)_{\textrm{diag}} singlet scalars and find a number of new supersymmetric Janus solutions preserving eight supercharges. These solutions holographically describe conformal interfaces within N=2N=2 five-dimensional SCFTs involving deformations by source terms and vacuum expectation values of relevant and irrelevant operators. Apart from the Janus solutions interpolating between SO(3)×SO(3)SO(3)\times SO(3) AdS6AdS_6 vacua, some of the solutions have SO(3)diagSO(3)_{\textrm{diag}} AdS6AdS_6 vacua generated by holographic RG flows from the SO(3)×SO(3)SO(3)\times SO(3) phases on both sides. We also give an evidence for solutions describing RG-flow interfaces with SO(3)×SO(3)SO(3)\times SO(3) AdS6AdS_6 vacuum on one side and SO(3)diagSO(3)_{\textrm{diag}} AdS6AdS_6 vacuum on the other side. The solutions provide first examples of Janus solutions involving more than one AdS6AdS_6 vacuum in six-dimensional gauged supergravity.
