RG flows and the holographic c - function
We consider holographic RG flows which interpolate between non-trivial ultraviolet (UV) and infra-red (IR) conformal fixed points. We study the " superpo-tentials " which characterize different flows and discuss their expansions near the fixed points. Then we focus on the holographic c-function as defined from the two-point function of the stress-energy tensor. We point out that the equation fo...
متن کاملRG flows and bifurcations
Interpreting RG flows as dynamical systems in the space of couplings we produce a variety of constraints, global (topological) as well as local. These constraints, in turn, rule out some of the proposed RG flows and also predict new phases and fixed points, surprisingly, even in familiar theories such as O(N) model, QED3, or QCD4. © 2017 Published by Elsevier B.V.

متن کاملCounting RG flows
Interpreting renormalization group flows as solitons interpolating between different fixed points, we ask various questions that are normally asked in soliton physics but not in renormalization theory. Can one count RG flows? Are there different “topological sectors” for RG flows? What is the moduli space of an RG flow, and how does it compare to familiar moduli spaces of (supersymmetric) dowai...
متن کاملLocalized Tachyons and RG Flows
We study condensation of closed string tachyons living on defects, such as orbifold fixed planes and Neveu-Schwarz fivebranes. We argue that the high energy density of localized states decreases in the process of condensation of such tachyons. In some cases this means that ceff decreases along the flow; in others, ceff remains constant and the decreasing quantity is a closed string analog, gcl,...
متن کاملComments on cosmological RG flows
We study cosmological backgrounds from the point of vue of the dS/CFT correspondence and its renormalization group flow extension. We focus on the case where gravity is coupled to a single scalar with a potential. Depending on the latter, the scalar can drive both inflation and the accelerated expansion (dS) phase in the far future. We also comment on quintessence scenarios, and flows familiar ...
