Holographic RG flows are studied in an Einstein‐dilaton theory with a general potential. The superpotential formalism is utilized in order to characterize and classify all solutions that are associated with asymptotically AdS space‐times. Such solutions correspond to holographic RG flows and are characterized by their holographic β‐functions. Novel solutions are found that have exotic properties from a RG point‐of view. Some have β‐functions that are defined patch‐wise and lead to flows where the β‐function changes sign without the flow stopping. Others describe flows that end in non‐neighboring extrema in field space. Finally others describe regular flows between two minima of the potential and correspond holographically to flows driven by the VEV of an irrelevant operator in the UV CFT.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
