Journal ArticleDOI

The holographic Weyl anomaly

TL;DR: In this article, the Weyl anomaly for conformal field theories that can be described via the adS/CFT correspondence was calculated for the case d = 2, 4 and 6.
Journal ArticleDOI

Holographic reconstruction of spacetime and renormalization in the AdS/CFT correspondence

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a method for renormalizing the AdS/CFT prescription for computing correlation functions, which involves regularizing the bulk on-shell supergravity action in a covariant way, computing all divergences, adding counterterms to cancel them and then removing the regulator.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lecture notes on holographic renormalization

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the formalism of holographic renormalization and apply it to holographic RG flows, including the derivation of the on-shell renormalized action, holographic Ward identities, anomalies and renormalisation group (RG) equations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Holographic Renormalization

TL;DR: In this article, the authors systematically developed the procedure of holographic renormalization for RG flows dual to asymptotically AdS domain walls by adding covariant local boundary counterterms determined by the near-boundary behavior of bulk fields.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gravitational stability and renormalization group flow

TL;DR: In this article, first-order Bogomol'nyi equations are found for dilaton domain walls of D-dimensional gravity with the general dilaton potential admitting a stable anti-de Sitter vacuum.
