Abstract

We investigate complex conformal field theories and interfaces between such theories, using methods of holography and two dimensional CFT. We use holography to prove the Im-flip property of complex conjugate CFTs. We construct a complex Janus solution and calculate some holographic observables. Complex RG-flow interfaces are obtained numerically. On the CFT side, complex interfaces are constructed for free boson CFTs with and without background charge. Boundary states are constructed, and transmission and reflection coefficients are calculated in both cases.
