The Holographic Ward identity: Examples from 2+1 gravity
نویسنده
چکیده
In the AdS/CFT correspondence the boundary Ward identities are encoded in the bulk constraints. We study the three-dimensional version of this result using the Chern-Simons formulation of gravity. Due to the metric boundary conditions the conformal identities cannot be derived in a straightforward way from the chiral ones. We pay special attention to this case and find the necessary modifications to the chiral currents in order to find the two Virasoro operators. The supersymmetric Ward identities are studied as well.

متن کاملHolographic Renormalization Group with Fermions and Form Fields
We find the Holographic Renormalization Group equations for the holographic duals of generic gravity theories coupled to form fields and spin2 fermions. Using Hamilton–Jacobi theory we discuss the structure of Ward identities, anomalies, and the recursive equations for determining the divergent terms of the generating functional. In particular, the Ward identity associated to diffeomorphism inv...

A systematic procedure for performing holographic renormalization, which makes use of the Hamilton–Jacobi method, is proposed and applied to a bulk theory of gravity interacting with a scalar field and a U(1) gauge field in the Stückelberg formalism. We describe how the power divergences are obtained as solutions of a set of “descent equations” stemming from the radial Hamiltonian constraint of...

متن کاملMomentum relaxation from the fluid/gravity correspondence
We provide a hydrodynamical description of a holographic theory with broken translation invariance. We use the fluid/gravity correspondence to systematically obtain both the constitutive relations for the currents and the Ward identity for momentum relaxation in a derivative expansion. Beyond leading order in the strength of momentum relaxation, our results differ from a model previously propos...
