Abstract

Recently, topological interfaces between three-dimensional abelian Chern-Simons theories were constructed. In this note we investigate such topological interfaces in the context of the AdS3/CFT2AdS_3/CFT_2 correspondence. We show that it is possible to connect the topological interfaces in the bulk Chern-Simons theory to topological interfaces in the dual CFT on the boundary. In addition for [U(1)]2N[U(1)]^{2N} Chern-Simons theory on AdS3AdS_3, we show that it is possible to find boundary counter terms which lead to the NN conserved currents in the dual two-dimensional CFT.
