Abstract

We find a large class of new supersymmetric Janus solutions from five-dimensional N=4N=4 gauged supergravity coupled to five vector multiplets with SO(2)D×SO(3)×SO(3)SO(2)_D\times SO(3)\times SO(3) gauge group. The gauged supergravity admits four supersymmetric AdS5AdS_5 vacua, two N=4N=4 with SO(2)D×SO(3)×SO(3)SO(2)_D\times SO(3)\times SO(3) and SO(2)D×SO(3)diagSO(2)_D\times SO(3)_{\textrm{diag}} symmetric AdS5AdS_5 vacua and two N=2N=2 with SO(2)diag×SO(3)SO(2)_{\textrm{diag}}\times SO(3) and SO(2)diagSO(2)_{\textrm{diag}} symmetric ones. In a truncation to three vector multiplets, the gauge group is given by SO(2)×SO(3)×SO(3)SO(2)\times SO(3)\times SO(3), and the resulting gauged supergravity admits only two N=4N=4 supersymmetric AdS5AdS_5 vacua with SO(2)×SO(3)×SO(3)SO(2)\times SO(3)\times SO(3) and SO(2)×SO(3)diagSO(2)\times SO(3)_{\textrm{diag}} residual symmetries. By considering the SO(2)diagSO(2)_{\textrm{diag}} invariant sector within this truncation, we find a number of supersymetric Janus interfaces between the two N=4N=4 vacua on both sides as well as an RG-flow interface between SO(2)×SO(3)×SO(3)SO(2)\times SO(3)\times SO(3) and SO(2)×SO(3)diagSO(2)\times SO(3)_{\textrm{diag}} symmetric vacua on each side. By repeating the analysis in the full SO(2)D×SO(3)×SO(3)SO(2)_D\times SO(3)\times SO(3) gauged supergravity, we find Janus solutions interpolating between the aforementioned four supersymmetric AdS5AdS_5 vacua as well as examples of multi-Janus interfaces between these vacua.
