Abstract

The properties of the asymptotic AdS3AdS_3 space-times representing flat domain walls (DW's) solutions of the New Massive 3D Gravity with scalar matter are studied. Our analysis is based on IstI^{st} order BPS-like equations involving an appropriate superpotential. The Brown-York boundary stress-tensor is used for the calculation of DW's tensions as well as of the CFT2CFT_2's central charges. The holographic renormalization group flows and the phase transitions in specific deformed CFT2CFT_2 dual to 3D massive gravity model with quadratic superpotential are discussed.
