چکیده
In the context of gauge/gravity duality, using proposed candidate $c$-function, which is derived from entanglement entropy a strip-shaped region, we investigate RG flow for $d+1$-dimensional quantum field theories with broken Lorentz and rotational symmetries in IR, but preserved conformal invariance UV boundary. We examine conditions monotonicity $c$-function holographic anisotropic dual to Einstein gravity via constraints imposed by null energy conditions. consider near IR behaviors identify sufficient that guarantee $c$ function decreases monotonically along flows.

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 کاملCorrelation Functions in Holographic RG Flows
We discuss the computation of correlation functions in holographic RG flows. The method utilizes a recently developed Hamiltonian version of holographic renormalization and it is more efficient than previous methods. A significant simplification concerns the treatment of infinities: instead of performing a general analysis of counterterms, we develop a method where only the contribution of coun...
متن کاملHolographic Entanglement Entropy: An Overview
In this article, we review recent progresses on the holographic understandings of the entanglement entropy in the AdS/CFT correspondence. After reviewing the general idea of holographic entanglement entropy, we will explain its applications to confinement/deconfinement phase transitions, black hole entropy and covariant formulation of holography. e-mail:[email protected] e-mai...
متن کاملAspects of Holographic Entanglement Entropy
This is an extended version of our short report hep-th/0603001, where a holographic interpretation of entanglement entropy in conformal field theories is proposed from AdS/CFT correspondence. In addition to a concise review of relevant recent progresses of entanglement entropy and details omitted in the earlier letter, this paper includes the following several new results : We give a more direc...
متن کاملTopological Entanglement Entropy from the Holographic Partition Function
We study the entropy of chiral 2+1-dimensional topological phases, where there are both gapped bulk excitations and gapless edge modes. We show how the entanglement entropy of both types of excitations can be encoded in a single partition function. This partition function is holographic because it can be expressed entirely in terms of the conformal field theory describing the edge modes. We giv...
