In this paper an Exact Renormalization Group (ERG) equation is written for the the critical $O(N)$ model in $D$-dimensions (with $D\approx 3$) at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point perturbed by a scalar composite operator. The action is written…
We use the generalized holographic dark energy model, in which both the cosmological constant (CC) and Newton's constant G_N are scale-dependent, to set constraints on the renormalization-group (RG) evolution of both quantities phrased…
We study the characteristic structure of the Einstein-Hilbert (EH) action when modifications of the form of $R^2,~ R_{\mu\nu}^2$, $R_{\mu\nu\rho\sigma}^2$ and $C_{\mu\nu\rho\sigma}^2$ are included. We show that when these quadratic terms…
The renormalization group (RG) in statistical physics focuses on ground-state properties of equilibrium systems. However, it is unclear how it should be generalized to nonunitary quantum dynamics caused by dissipation and measurement…

This is a very brief review of some results from hep-th/0112154 and hep-th/0209191. In holographic renormalization, we studied the RG flow of a 2d N=(4,4) CFT perturbed by a relevant operator, flowing to a conformal fixed point in the IR.…
In the context of the gauge/gravity duality, using the proposed candidate $c$-function, which is derived from the entanglement entropy of a strip-shaped region, we investigate the RG flow for $d+1$-dimensional quantum field theories with…
We introduce a new class of quantum and classical correlation measures by generalizing the reflected entropy to multipartite states. We define the new measures for quantum systems in one spatial dimension. For quantum systems having gravity…
Einstein-Hilbert action and its natural generalizations to higher dimensions (like the Lanczos-Lovelock action) have certain peculiar features. All of them can be separated into a bulk and a surface term, with a specific ("holographic")…
Recently Eling and Oz (EO) proposed a formula for the holographic bulk viscosity, in arXiv:1103.1657, derived from the null horizon focusing equation. This formula seems different from that obtained earlier by Gubser, Pufu and Rocha (GPR)…
The full one-loop (scalar) effective action is computed for both hyperbolic and elliptic spacetimes.
We carefully analyse the use of the effective action in dynamical problems, in particular the conditions under which the equation $\frac{\delta \Ga} {\delta \phi}=0$ can be used as a quantum equation of motion, and the relation between the…
In this letter, we regard the $f(R)$ theory as an effective description for the acceleration of the universe and reconstruct the function $f(R)$ from the Ricci dark energy, which respects holographic principle of quantum gravity. By using…
We investigate bounce cosmological models in the presence of a viscous fluid, making use of generalized holographic cutoffs introduced by Nojiri and Odintsov (2017). We consider both an exponential, a power-law, and a double exponential…
The action growth proposal relates the holographic complexity to the value of the action on the Wheeler-de Witt patch. We introduce a new method of calculating the gravitational action using the "bulk" term, i.e. the part of the…
The holographic entanglement entropy functional for higher-curvature gravities involves a weighted sum whose evaluation, beyond quadratic order, requires a complicated theory-dependent splitting of the Riemann tensor components. Using the…
Quantum corrections of certain types and relevant in certain regimes can be summarised in terms of an effective action calculable, in principle, from the underlying theory. The demands of symmetries, local form of terms and dimensional…
