Abstract: We study mathrmAdS3imesS3/mathbbZkimesildeS3/mathbbZk′ solutions to M-theory preserving mathcalN=(0,4) supersymmetries, arising as near-horizon limits of M2-M5 brane intersections ending on M5'-branes, with both types of five-branes placed on A-type singularities. Solutions in this class asymptote locally to mathrmAdS7/mathbbZkimesildeS3/mathbbZk′, and can thus be interpreted as holographic duals to surface defect CFTs within the mathcalN=(1,0) 6d CFT dual to this solution. Upon reduction to Type IIA, we obtain a new class of solutions of the form mathrmAdS3imesS3/mathbbZkimesS2imesSigma2 preserving (0,4) supersymmetries. We construct explicit 2d quiver CFTs dual to these solutions, describing D2-D4 surface defects embedded within the 6d (1,0) quiver CFT dual to the mathrmAdS7/mathbbZk solution to massless IIA. Finally, in the massive case, we show that the recently constructed mathrmAdS3imesS2imesmathrmCY2 solutions with mathcalN=(0,4) supersymmetries gain a defect interpretation when mathrmCY2=T4 as surface CFTs originating from D2-NS5-D6 defects embedded within the 5d CFT dual to the Brandhuber-Oz mathrmAdS6 background.
