B-type anomaly coefficients for the D3-D5 domain wall

Abstract

We compute type-B Weyl anomaly coefficients for the domain wall version of N = 4 SYM that is holographically dual to the D3-D5 probe-brane system with flux. Our starting point is the explicit expression for the improved energy momentum tensor of N = 4 SYM. We determine the two-point function of this operator in the presence of the domain wall and extract the anomaly coefficients from the result. In the same process we determine the two-point function of the displacement operator.
