AdS gravity and field theories at fixpoints

چکیده
The renormalization group flow of the worldvolume theory depends very much from the number of unbroken supersymmetries. In the dual AdS picture we break supersymmetry by adding different types of BPS black holes. We argue, that this BPS black hole causes a non-trivial renormalization group flow in the worldvolume field theory and especially a regular horizon translates into a nontrivial IR fixpoint. For this interpretation we have to rewrite the AdS models into a flat space description with a linear dilaton vacuum. The dual models (linear dilaton and the AdS vacuum) can be seen as the different sides of a domain wall. We discuss the cases of AdS3 and AdS5. PACS: 04.70, 11.25.H

Gravity & Hydrodynamics: Lectures on the fluid-gravity correspondence
We discuss recent developments in the hydrodynamic description of strongly coupled conformal field theories using the AdS/CFT correspondence. In particular, we review aspects of the fluid-gravity correspondence which provides a map between a class of inhomogeneous, dynamical, black hole solutions in asymptotically AdS spacetimes and arbitrary fluid flows in the strongly interacting boundary fie...
متن کاملInteracting String Multi-verses and Holographic Instabilities of Massive Gravity
Products of large-N conformal field theories coupled by multi-trace interactions in diverse dimensions are used to define quantum multi-gravity (multi-string theory) on a union of (asymptotically) AdS spaces. One-loop effects generate a small O(1/N) mass for some of the gravitons. The boundary gauge theory and the AdS/CFT correspondence are used as guiding principles to study and draw conclusio...
متن کاملSchwinger-Keldysh Propagators from AdS/CFT Correspondence
We demonstrate how to compute real-time Green’s functions for a class of finite temperature field theories from their AdS gravity duals. In particular, we reproduce the 2× 2 SchwingerKeldysh matrix propagator from a gravity calculation. Our methods should work also for computing higher point Lorentzian signature correlators. We elucidate the boundary condition subtleties which hampered previous...
متن کاملMulti-String Theories, Massive Gravity and the AdS/CFT Correspondence
Infrared modifications of gravity have been proposed over the years as potentially useful phenomenological models. Massive (multi)-gravity is an interesting class of such theories. The true nature and the ultimate consistency of many of these models remains, however, unclear as one is frequently faced with important problems, e.g. classical instabilities and strong coupling problems which are h...
متن کاملQuantum Information and Gravity Cutoff in Theories with Species
We show that lowering of the gravitational cutoff relative to the Planck mass, imposed by black hole physics in theories with N species, has an independent justification from quantum information theory. First, this scale marks the limiting capacity of any information processor. Secondly, by taking into the account the limitations of the quantum information storage in any system with species, th...
