Abstract: We consider four dimensional $U(N)$ $mathcalN=4$ SYM theory interacting with a 3d $mathcalN=4$ theory living on a codimension-one interface and holographically dual to the D3-D5 system without flux. Localization captures several observables in this dCFT, including its free energy, related to the defect expectation value, and single trace $frac12$-BPS composite scalars. These quantities may be computed in a hermitian one-matrix model with non-polynomial single-trace potential. We exploit the integrable Volterra hierarchy underlying the matrix model and systematically study its $1/N$ expansion at any value of the 't Hooft coupling. In particular, the strong coupling regime is determined -- up to non-perturbative exponentially suppressed corrections -- by differential relations that constrain higher order terms in the $1/N$ expansion. The analysis is extended to the model with $SU(N)$ gauge symmetry by resorting to the more general Toda lattice equations.
