On the Canonical c-Function in 4-d Field Theories Possessing Supergravity Duals
We study monotonicity and other properties of the canonical c-function (defined through the correlator of the energy-momentum tensor) in some holographic duals of 4-d quantum field theories. The canonical c-function and its derivatives are related to the 5d Green’s function of the dual supergravity theory. While positivity of the canonical c-function is obvious, we have not found a general proo...
متن کاملHolographic Duals of 4 D Field Theories
We discuss various aspect of the holographic correspondence between 5-d gravity and 4-d field theory. First of all, we describe deformations of N = 4 Super Yang-Mills (SYM) theories in terms of 5-d gauged supergravity. In particular, we describe N = 0 and N = 1 deformations of N = 4 SYM to confining theories. Secondly, we describe recent proposals for the holographic dual of the renormalization...
متن کاملSupergravity Duals for N=2 Gauge Theories
We construct supergravity solutions for Dp-branes at orbifold points. The solutions are written in terms of a single function, which is the solution to a nonlinear differential equation. The near horizon limits of these solutions are dual, in the AdS/CFT sense, to super-Yang-Mills theories with 8 supercharges in various dimensions. In particular, we present a dual to N = 2 SU(N) SYM theory in 3...
متن کاملRG Fixed Points in Supergravity Duals of 4 - d Field Theory and Asymptotically AdS Spaces
Recently, it has been conjectured that supergravity solutions with two asymptotically AdS 5 regions describe the RG flow of a 4-d field theory from a UV fixed point to an interacting IR fixed point. In this paper we lend support to this conjecture by showing that, in the UV (IR) limit, the two-point function of a minimally coupled scalar field depends only on the UV (IR) region of the metric, a...
متن کاملNon - Abelian pp - waves in D = 4 supergravity theories
The non-Abelian plane waves, first found in flat spacetime by Coleman and subsequently generalized to give pp-waves in Einstein-Yang-Mills theory, are shown to be 12 supersymmetric solutions of a wide variety of N = 1 supergravity theories coupled to scalar and vector multiplets, including the theory of SU(2) Yang-Mills coupled to an axion σ and dilaton φ recently obtained as the reduction to f...
