Geometric Holography, the Renormalization Group and the c-Theorem
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper the whole geometrical set-up giving a conformally invariant holographic projection of a diffeomorphism invariant bulk theory is clarified. By studying the renormalization group flow along null geodesic congruences a holographic version of Zamolodchikov’s c-theorem is proven.

Holography, a Covariant c Function, and the Geometry of the Renormalization Group
We propose a covariant geometrical expression for the c-function for theories which admit dual gravitational descriptions. We state a c-theorem with respect to this quantity and prove it. We apply the expression to a class of geometries, from domain walls in gauged supergravities, to extremal and near extremal Dp branes, and the AdS Schwarzschild black hole. In all cases, we find agreement with...
متن کاملHolographic RG Flow on the Defect and g-Theorem
We investigate relevant deformation and renormalization group flow in a defect conformal field theory from the point of view of holography. We construct a supersymmetric D5brane solution which represents an RG flow, by deforming anAdS4×S brane inAdS5×S. Our new solution corresponds to the mass deformation of the defect CFT. We also propose a candidate of g-function in the context of holography,...

متن کاملThe Holographic Principle and the Renormalization Group 1 a Proposal for a Holographic C-function
We prove a c-theorem for holographic theories. In 1 Zamolodchikov proved that for local and unitary two-dimensional field theories there exists a function of the couplings , hereinafter called the c-function, c(g i), such that − β i ∂ i c ≤ 0 (1) along the renormalization group flow. For fixed points of the flow, the c-function reduces to the central extension of the Virasoro algebra. Some gene...
متن کاملThe c-Functions of Noncommutative Yang-Mills Theory from Holography
In this paper we study non-commutative Yang-Mills theory (NCYM) through its gravity dual. First it is shown that the gravity dual of an NCYM with selfdual θ-parameters has a Lagrangian in the form of five-dimensional dilatonic gravity. Then we use the de-Boer-Verlinde-Verlinde formalism for holographic renormalization group flows to calculate the coefficient functions in the Weyl anomaly of the...
