Holographic RG Flow on the Defect and g-Theorem
Satoshi Yamaguchi1
Show affiliationsWe investigate relevant deformation and the renormalization group flow in a defect conformal field theory from the point of view of the holography. We propose a candidate of g-function in the context of the holography, and prove the g-theorem: the g-function is monotonically non-increasing along the RG flow. We apply this g-theorem to the D5-brane solution which is an asymptotically AdS4 × S2 brane in AdS5 × S5. This solution corresponds to the mass deformation of the defect CFT. We checked that the g-function is monotonically non-increasing in this solution.
