Spectral Functions in Holographic Renormalization Group Flows
نویسنده
چکیده
The spectrum of two-point functions in a holographic renormalization group flow from an ultraviolet (UV) to an infrared (IR) conformal fixed point is necessarily continuous. For a toy model, the spectral function does not only show the expected UV and IR behaviours, but other interesting features such as sharp peaks and oscillations in the UV. The spectral functions for the SU(3)×U(1) flow in AdS4/CFT3 and the SU(2)×U(1) flow in AdS5/CFT4 are calculated numerically. They exhibit a simple cross-over behaviour and reproduce the conformal dimensions of the dual operators in the UV and IR conformal phases.

Correlation Functions in Holographic Renormalization Group Flows
We consider the holographic duality for a generic bulk theory of scalars coupled to gravity. By studying the fluctuations around Poincaré invariant backgrounds with nonvanishing scalars, with the scalar and metric boundary conditions considered as being independent, we obtain all oneand two-point functions in the dual renormalization group flows of the boundary field theory. Operator and vev fl...

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 کاملSpacetime and the Holographic Renormalization Group
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 ...
متن کاملNotes on Fluctuations and Correlation Functions in Holographic Renormalization Group Flows
We study the coupled equations describing fluctuations of scalars and the metric about background solutions of N = 8 gauged supergravity which are dual to boundary field theories with renormalization group flow. For the case of a kink solution with a single varying scalar, we develop a procedure to decouple the equations, and we solve them in particular examples. However, difficulties occur in ...
متن کاملCorrelation Functions in Holographic RG Flows
We discuss the computation of correlation functions in holographic RG flows. The method utilizes a recently developed Hamiltonian version of holographic renormalization and it is more efficient than previous methods. A significant simplification concerns the treatment of infinities: instead of performing a general analysis of counterterms, we develop a method where only the contribution of coun...
