Abstract

The renormalization group flow of the worldvolume theory depends very much from the number of unbroken supersymmetries. In the dual AdSAdS 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 AdSAdS models into a flat space description with a linear dilaton vacuum. The dual models (linear dilaton and the AdSAdS vacuum) can be seen as the different sides of a domain wall. We discuss the cases of AdS3AdS_3 and AdS5AdS_5.
