Holographic evolution of gauge couplings

Abstract

We study the gauge coupling evolution of a unified theory in the compact Randall-Sundrum model with gauge bosons propagating in the bulk. One-loop corrections in AdS are interpreted in the 4d dual theory as the sum of two contributions: CFT insertions subleading in a 1/N expansion and loops of the additional particles coupled to the CFT. We have calculated the scalar loop correction to the low energy gauge couplings both in scenarios where the GUT symmetry is broken by boundary conditions and with the Higgs mechanism. In each case our results are what expected from the holographic dual theory.
