Abstract

We study classical M5 brane solutions in the probe limit in the AdS7×S4 spacetime geometry with worldvolume 3-form flux. These solutions describe the holography of codimension-4 defects in the 6d boundary dual N=(0,2) supersymmetric gauge theories. Starting from some half-BPS solutions which follow stricter BPS conditions, we find a general 116-BPS solution. We show how some of the giant-like M5 brane solutions here may be related to the codimension-2 surface operators in the 4d gauge theory.
