Emergence of Gravity and RG Flow

Ayan Mukhopadhyay
- Vol. 187, pp 283-302
TLDR
In this paper, Padmanabhan et al. reformulated Einstein's equations in AdS as a non-perturbative RG flow that further leads to a new approach towards constructing strongly interacting QFTs.
Abstract
This is a tribute to Padmanabhan’s works on the holographic principle which have consistently enunciated the profound philosophy that the classical equations of gravity themselves hold the key to understanding their holographic origin. I discuss how this can be realised by reformulating Einstein’s equations in AdS as a non-perturbative RG flow that further leads to a new approach towards constructing strongly interacting QFTs. For a concrete demonstration, I focus on the hydrodynamic limit in which case this RG flow connects the AdS/CFT correspondence with the membrane paradigm.

Black holes: The membrane paradigm

TL;DR: In this article, the physics of black holes are explored in terms of a membrane paradigm which treats the event horizon as a two-dimensional membrane embedded in three-dimensional space, and a 3+1 formalism is used to split Schwarzschild space-time and the laws of physics outside a nonrotating hole.

On the holographic renormalization group

TL;DR: In this article, a direct correspondence between the classical evolution equations of supergravity and the renormalization group (RG) equations of the dual $4-d$ large $N$ gauge theory was proposed.

Entanglement Renormalization and Holography

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized notion of holography inspired by holographic dualities in quantum gravity is proposed. The generalization is based upon organizing information in a quantum state in terms of scale and defining a higher-dimensional geometry from this structure.

Relativistic viscous hydrodynamics, conformal invariance, and holography

TL;DR: In this article, the second-order viscous hydrodynamics in conformal field theories at finite temperature was considered and conformal invariance imposes powerful constraints on the form of second-orders corrections.
