Abstract
An analogy is noted between RG flow equations in 4-dimensional gauge theory, as derived from the AdS/CFT correspondence, and the RG flow equations in 4-dimensional field theory coupled to a particular limit of Weyl supergravity. This suggests a possible theory of dynamical 3-branes with fluctuating 4-dimensional conformal factor. The argument involves a map from flows in 4-dimensional gauge theories to flows in a class of 2-dimensional sigma models.
