AdS gravity and field theories at fixpoints
Abstract
Description
The renormalization group flow of the worldvolume theory depends very much from the number of unbroken supersymmetries. In the dual $AdS$ picture we break supersymmetry by adding different types of BPS black holes. We argue, that this BPS black hole causes a non-trivial renormalization group flow in the worldvolume field theory and especially a regular horizon translates into a non-trivial IR fixpoint. For this interpretation we have to rewrite the $AdS$ models into a flat space description with a linear dilaton vacuum. The dual models (linear dilaton and the $AdS$ vacuum) can be seen as the different sides of a domain wall. We discuss the cases of $AdS_3$ and $AdS_5$.
