2 Outline Motivation and goal Prescription Examples Conclusion and open questions
3 AdS/CFT correspondence: Maldacena conjecture `97 N=4 conformal SYM g s =g 2 YM Type IIB string theory on AdS 5 S 5 R 4 =4πg s N l 4 s Phenomenological works motivated by the duality: Randall-Sundrum models AdS/QCD bottom-up AdS/CMT
4 Rules of thumb for model-building Copied from Csaki, Hubisz and Meade 05
5 But unlike the original N=4/Type IIB duality, the phenomenological duality Finite N Non-supersymmetric
6 The phenomenological duality Finite N Non-supersymmetric Higher order corrections Instability (won t consider further) e.g.: Horowitz-Orgera-Polchinski instablity `07;
7 Goal: assuming existence of an effective AdS field theory/cft correspondence, understand how bulk interactions renormalize CFT 2-point correlator beyond the leading order in N. More specifically, calculate anomalous dimensions of single- and double-trace operators arising from bulk interactions. E.g.: scalar single-trace operator: = d 2 + d m2 + γ
8 Aside: definition of single- and double-trace operators Given a matrix-valued field Φ(N N hermitian matrix), Single-trace operators: Double-trace operators: Example: TrΦ n (TrΦ n ) 2 Scalar operators Single-trace operators: Double-trace operators: TrF 2 ψ ψ (TrF 2 ) 2 (ψ ψ) 2
9 More on the effective AdS/CFT correspondence Conjecture: (Heemskerk, Penedones, Polchinski and Sully `09; Fitzpatrick, Katz, Poland, Simmons-Duffin `10) Sufficient conditions for CFT to have a local bulk dual a mass gap: all single-trace operators of spin greater than 2 have parametrically large dimension. More specifically, m KK ~ 1/R; R: AdS radius String states m s ~ 1/l s ~ λ 1/4 /R; a small parameter such as 1/N M 5 ~ N 2/3 /R
10 m planck m s 5D AdS EFT 1/R 0
11 Setup AdS d+1 : metric ds 2 = z2 0 + d i=1 dx2 i scalar field theory with contact interactions z 2 0 CFT: at the bottom of the spectrum, only one single-trace scalar operator O(x) order in 1/N, the primary operators appearing in the O O operator product expansion (OPE) are the double-trace operators Double-trace operator from OPE O O O n,l (x) O( µ µ ) n ( ν1 ν2 νl )O(x), (2.7) where parameters n and l denote the twist n: twist and the spin of l: spin the operator. At the zeroth order in 1/N, the double-trace operator dimension is n,l =2 +2n + l. Once the bulk interactions are turned on, the CFT two-point function would be renormalized. For the sinlge-trace operator, the leading order correction to the bare two-point correlator can be obtained from the non-zero leading order expansion of the boundary 1-PI action ɛ 2(d ) φ 0 (x)φ 0 (0)e S bulk(φ) 1PI non local, (2.8)
12 Boundary action To make precise sense of the AdS/CFT, needs to introduce a radial regulator ε: z 0 ε > 0 S ɛ = Sɛ local S = S ɛ + + Sɛ non local d d x z 0 >ɛ dz 0 L bulk
13 S local ɛ Consist of all (high-dimensional) local counter-terms to restore conformal invariance. Requiring the total action S is independent of ε, holographic RGE of the boundary local operators at classical level: ɛ S local ɛ = z=ɛ d d x(π z φ gl) = d d xh Lewandowski, May and Sundrum `02 ; Heemskerk and Polchinski `10; Faulkner, Liu and Rangamani `10.
14 S non local ɛ Encodes the correlators of the dual field theory. The ansatz: exp ɛ Generating function of CFT Boundary value of bulk field φ 0 O CF T = Z ɛ (φ 0 ) Boundary partition function O(x)O(0) = ɛ 2(d ) φ 0 (x)φ 0 (0) 1PI nonlocal Normalization

Notice that with the bulk-boundary correlator we chose, the two point function at the classical level is normalized as [16] O(x)O(0) (0) = 2ν d/2 Γ( ) x 2. (3.7)

27 order in Double-trace 1/N, the primary operators appearing operators in the O O operator product expansion (OPE) are the double-trace operators O n,l (x) O( µ µ ) n ( ν1 ν2 νl )O(x), (2.7) where parameters n and l denote the twist and the spin of the operator. At the zeroth order O(x)O(0) = c O in 1/N, the double-trace operator dimension is n,l n,l =2 +2n + l. Why should we care about these composite CFT operators? Once the bulk interactions are turned on, the CFT two-point function would be renormalized. For the sinlge-trace operator, the leading order correction to the bare two-point correlator can They be obtained encode from information the non-zero about leading scattering order expansion in AdS of the boundary 1-PI action ɛ 2(d ) φ 0 (x)φ 0 (0)e S bulk(φ) 1PI non local, (2.8) where integration over the AdS space is involved. As we will see from examples, generally this integration is divergent and a cutoff in the radial Double-trace direction as z 0 = ɛ is necessary for regulating the integration. On the Anomalous CFT side, wedimension introduce the of double-trace wavefunction renormalization operators and factor OPE Z which relates renormalized coefficients, operator O R the to the two bare sets oneof O: data, contain all the dynamical information of CFT at O(1/N 2 ) The renormalized correlation function O R (x) =ZO(x). (2.9)

36 Repeat calculation with the new boundary conditions and corresponding propagators For instance, for the toy example of mass perturbation, UV f 0 γ = δm2 2ν, IR f γ = δm2 2ν, = d 2 (d 2 ) 2 + m 2 + δm 2 = 0 δm2 2ν + O((δm2 ) 2 )
37 Spontaneously broken CFT Supposing the existence of a Wilsonian scheme, the renormalization of CFT should not be sensitive to the interior boundary condition. Impose an IR cutoff surface with Dirichlet b.c., for mass perturbations, the answers do not change!

39 For contact interactions, however, Single-trace: the loop momentum integration is dependent of the particular choice of the bulk propagator; UV divergences: determined by short-distance physics; unaffected by the IR boundary; Finite correction: sensitive to the interior b.c.. Double-trace: similar to mass perturbation, independent of IR condition
40 Conclusion I present a simple prescription to calculate the anomalous dimensions of CFT operators from bulk interactions. The key ingredient is to use the radial position as the regulator.
41 Open questions RGE of local boundary operators beyond leading order in N: Lewandowski `04; However, part of his answer does not look Wilsonian-like as it depends on the IR b.c. s; Understand correction to non-rg quantity, e.g., OPE coefficients Theory with gauge interactions and fermions.
