Abstract

We show that holographic RG flow can be defined precisely such that it corresponds to emergence of spacetime. We consider the case of pure Einstein’s gravity with a negative cosmological constant in the dual hydrodynamic regime. The holographic RG flow is a system of first order differential equations for radial evolution of the energy-momentum tensor and the variables which parametrize it’s phenomenological form on hypersurfaces in a foliation. The RG flow can be constructed without explicit knowledge of the bulk metric provided the hypersurface foliation is of a special kind. The bulk metric can be reconstructed once the RG flow equations are solved. We show that the full spacetime can be determined from the RG flow by requiring that the horizon fluid is a fixed point in a certain scaling limit leading to the non-relativistic incompressible Navier-Stokes dynamics. This restricts the near-horizon forms of all transport coefficients, which are thus determined independently of their asymptotic values and the RG flow can be solved uniquely. We are therefore able to recover the known boundary values of almost all transport coefficients at the first and second orders in the derivative expansion. We conjecture that the complete characterisation of the general holographic RG flow, including the choice of counterterms, might be determined from the hydrodynamic regime.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • This is possible only if the transport coefficients do not blow up faster than certain bounds as Λ approaches Λ_h.

    “This is however possible only if the transport coefficients do not blow up faster than certain bounds as Λ approaches Λ h .”
  • If one redefines time and the scale in a universal way, then the singularity actually transforms to a fixed point described by nonrelativistic incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with a single parameter, namely the shear-viscosity.

    “However, if one redefines time and the scale in a universal way (analogous to taking the near-horizon limit), then the singularity actually transforms to a fixed point described by nonrelativistic incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with a single parameter, namely the shear-viscosity.”
  • It was shown that there is a particular scale Λ_h where there is naively a singularity in the RG flow with the pressure and most transport coefficients blowing up - this scale corresponds to the horizon in the dual geometry.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
