Spacetime and the Holographic Renormalization Group

چکیده
Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space can be foliated by a family of nested surfaces homeomorphic to the boundary of the space. We propose a holographic correspondence between theories living on each surface in the foliation and quantum gravity in the enclosed volume. The flow of observables between our “interior” theories is described by a renormalization group equation. The dependence of these flows on the foliation of space encodes bulk geometry.

Lecture Notes on Holographic Renormalization
We review the formalism of holographic renormalization. We start by discussing mathematical results on asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes. We then outline the general method of holographic renormalization. The method is illustrated by working all details in a simple example: a massive scalar field on anti-de Sitter spacetime. The discussion includes the derivation of the on-shell renormal...

In this paper, we use the holographic renormalization method to calculate the two-point correlation functions of the CFT stress tensor. In the gravity side, we write the asymptotically AdS spacetimes in the BMS gauge and apply the standard holographic renormalization method for these space-times. The significance of using multi-point functions in this gauge is that its flat-space limit is well-...
متن کاملConsistency Conditions for Holographic Duality
We show that if the beta functions of a field theory are given by the gradient of a certain potential on the space of couplings, a gravitational background in one more dimension can express the renormalization group (RG) flow of the theory. The field theory beta functions and the gradient flow constraint together reconstruct the second order spacetime equations of motion. The RG equation reduce...
متن کاملRenormalization Group Flow in Algebraic Holography
The remarkable scaling properties of the AdSCFT correspondence[5] have been proven extremely useful as a calculational device for the scaling behaviour of holographic pairs, known as the Holographic Renormalization Group (RG). In this communication, the aforementioned scaling properties will be studied in a somewhat different context. We’ll adopt the formalism of Local Quantum Physics[1], in te...
متن کاملHolographic entanglement entropy in Lovelock gravities
We study entanglement entropies of simply connected surfaces in field theories dual to Lovelock gravities. We consider Gauss-Bonnet and cubic Lovelock gravities in detail. In the conformal case the logarithmic terms in the entanglement entropy are governed by the conformal anomalies of the CFT; we verify that the holographic calculations are consistent with this property. We also compute the ho...
