Large N field theories, string theory and gravity

O Aharony, SS Gubser, J Maldacena, H Ooguri, Y Oz - Physics Reports, 2000‏ - Elsevier
We review the holographic correspondence between field theories and string/M theory,
focusing on the relation between compactifications of string/M theory on Anti-de Sitter …

Gauged supergravities

M Trigiante - Physics Reports, 2017‏ - Elsevier
We give a general review of extended supergravities and their gauging using the duality-
covariant embedding tensor formalism. Although the focus is on four-dimensional theories …

Lecture notes on holographic renormalization

K Skenderis - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2002‏ - iopscience.iop.org
We review the formalism of holographic renormalization. We start by discussing
mathematical results on asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetimes. We then outline the …

On the dynamics of near-extremal black holes

P Nayak, A Shukla, RM Soni, SP Trivedi… - Journal of High Energy …, 2018‏ - Springer
A bstract We analyse the dynamics of near-extremal Reissner-Nordström black holes in
asymptotically four-dimensional Anti de Sitter space (AdS 4). We work in the spherically …

Holographic renormalization

M Bianchi, DZ Freedman, K Skenderis - Nuclear Physics B, 2002‏ - Elsevier
We systematically develop the procedure of holographic renormalization for RG flows dual
to asymptotically AdS domain walls. All divergences of the on-shell bulk action can be …

Holography and defect conformal field theories

O DeWolfe, DZ Freedman, H Ooguri - Physical Review D, 2002‏ - APS
We develop both the gravity and field theory sides of the Karch-Randall conjecture that the
near-horizon description of a certain D5-D3 brane configuration in string theory, realized as …

How to go with an RG flow

M Bianchi, DZ Freedman… - Journal of High Energy …, 2001‏ - iopscience.iop.org
We apply the formalism of holographic renormalization to domain wall solutions of 5-
dimensional supergravity which are dual to deformed conformal field theories in 4 …

Gravitational stability and renormalization-group flow

K Skenderis, PK Townsend - Physics Letters B, 1999‏ - Elsevier
First-orderBogomol'nyi'equations are found for dilaton domain walls of D-dimensional
gravity with the general dilaton potential admitting a stable anti-de Sitter vacuum …

Linear dilatons, NS5-branes and holography

O Aharony, M Berkooz, N Seiberg… - Journal of High Energy …, 1998‏ - iopscience.iop.org
We argue that vacua of string theory which asymptote at weak coupling to linear dilaton
backgrounds are holographic. The full string theory in such vacua is “dual” to a theory …

Confinement and D5-branes

C Nunez, M Oyarzo, R Stuardo - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024‏ - Springer
A bstract In this work we present new solutions of type IIB supergravity based on wrapped
D5 branes. We propose that two of these backgrounds are holographically dual to Quantum …
