Abstract
We study D = 11 supergravity solutions which are dual to one-dimensional superconformal defects in d = 3 SCFTs. We consider defects in ABJM theory with monodromy for U(1)4 ⊂ SO(8) global symmetry, as well as in 𝒩 = 2 mABJM SCFT, which arises from the RG flow of a mass deformation of ABJM theory, with monodromy for U(1)3 ⊂ SU(3) × U(1) global symmetry. We show that the defects of the two SCFTs are connected by a line of bulk marginal mass deformations and argue that they are also related by bulk RG flow. In all cases we allow for the possibility of conical singularities at the location of the defect. Various physical observables of the defects are computed including the defects conformal weight and the partition function, as well as associated supersymmetric Renyi entropies.
