Summary

The talk presents a holographic perspective on the extended Bogomolny equations, motivated by embedding hyperbolic monopoles into string theory. The speaker reviews the AdS/CFT correspondence and introduces a defect version (AdS/dCFT) involving D3 and D5 branes. It is shown that hyperbolic monopoles do not arise directly; instead, monopoles on a Euclidean half-space emerge. The talk then reviews Bogomolny and Nahm equations, including singularities and the Nahm correspondence. The main part develops how the extended Bogomolny equations appear in both the defect field theory and the holographic dual, with emphasis on interfaces and boundaries. The speaker introduces the concept of jumping data for equal charges and discusses the moduli spaces and their geometric properties. The talk concludes with open questions and ongoing work.
