Abstract
In this work, as an attempt in understanding the interplay between deformations of the external and internal spaces associated with the probe-brane embedding submanifold, we construct the zero-temperature phase diagram for the coupled phase between two two-dimensional defects stacked parallel in a four-dimensional ambient space-time. Different UV parameters are turned on for different defects. We characterize this solution by its infrared geometric data, and present the numerical result showing a first-order phase transition between the asymmetrically coupled phase and the more mundane decoupled phase.
