We consider RG flows obtained by a relevant deformation from unitary and compact two-dimensional (0,2) SCFTs. We point out that an N=2 super-Kac-Moody algebra present in the UV is preserved by the flow and does not mix with the R-current.…
We investigate how the holographic correspondence can be reformulated as a generalisation of Wilsonian RG flow in a strongly interacting large $N$ quantum field theory. We firstly define a \textit{highly efficient RG flow} as one in which…
By studying various, known extrema of 1) SU(3) sectors, 2) SO(5) sectors and 3) SO(3)xSO(3) sectors of gauged N =8 supergravity in four-dimensions, one finds that the deformation of seven sphere \S^7 gives rise to non-trivial…
We study a class of interface conformal field theories obtained by taking a large $N$ CFT and turning on a relevant double-trace deformation over half space. At low energies, this leads to a conformal interface separating two CFTs which are…

We investigate the holographic R\'enyi entropy for two-dimensional $\mathcal N=(2,2)$ superconformal field theory (SCFT), which is dual to $\mathcal N=2$ supergravity in AdS$_3$ background. In SCFT we have the stress tensor, current, and…
We study half-BPS flows in gauged minimal 7d supergravity featured by an AdS$_3\times S^3$ slicing of the metric, supported by a dyonic three-form field. We first present a novel strategy for analytic integration of the BPS equations, which…
Recently proposed double trace deformations of large $N$ holographic CFTs in four dimensions define a one parameter family of quantum field theories, which are interpreted in the bulk dual as living on successive finite radius…
In holographic duality, dynamics along the emergent extra-dimensional space describes a renormalization group (RG) flow of the corresponding quantum field theory (QFT). Following this idea, we develop an emergent holographic description of…
Within a holographic framework we construct supersymmetric Q-lattice (`Susy Q') solutions that describe RG flows driven by supersymmetric and spatially modulated deformations of the dual CFTs. We focus on a specific $D=4$ supergravity model…
For scalar fields in AdS with masses slightly above the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound, appropriate non-local boundary conditions can define a unitary theory. Such boundary conditions correspond to non-local deformations of the dual CFT, and…
We perform a systematic search for static solutions in different sectors of 5d $N=8$ supergravities with compact and non-compact gauged R-symmetry groups, finding new and listing already known backgrounds. Due to the variety of possible…
We study supersymmetric $AdS_3\times \Sigma_2$ and $AdS_2\times \Sigma_3$ solutions, with $\Sigma_2=S^2,H^2$ and $\Sigma_3=S^3,H^3$, in five-dimensional $N=4$ gauged supergravity coupled to five vector multiplets. The gauge groups…
Wilson loop operators in ABJM theory provide a rich arena for studying defect conformal field theories (dCFTs) and the renormalization group (RG) flows connecting them. While these are well understood at weak coupling, a complete…
We study an $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric quantum field theory with $O(M)\times O(N)$ symmetry. Working in $3-\epsilon$ dimensions, we calculate the beta functions up to second loop order and analyze in detail the Renormalization Group…
We study the $q\bar{q}$ potential in strongly coupled non-conformal field theories with a non-trivial renormalization group flow via holography. We focus on the properties of this potential at an inter-quark separation $L$ large compared to…
In this paper we investigate the holographic R\'enyi entropy in $\mathcal N=1$ supergravity (SUGRA) in AdS$_3$ spacetime, which is dual to the two-dimensional $\mathcal N=(1,1)$ superconformal field theory (SCFT). We consider both cases of…
We show that all known 6D SCFTs can be obtained iteratively from an underlying set of UV progenitor theories through the processes of "fission" and "fusion." Fission consists of a tensor branch deformation followed by a special class of…
We construct novel RG flows of D=11 supergravity that asymptotically approach $AdS_4\times S^7$ in the UV with deformations that break spatial translations in the dual field theory. In the IR the solutions return to exactly the same…
