The Holographic Naturalness (HN) is a new paradigm towards an explanation of the Cosmological Constant (CC) and the Higgs Hierarchy (HH) in the Universe. Motivated by the Holographic Principle, and inspired by the (A)dS/CFT correspondence,…
We study the holographic dual of two-point correlation functions for nonconformal field theories. We first take into account a Lifshitz geometry as the dual of a Lifshitz field theory which may appear at a critical or IR fixed point. We…
We apply the quantum renormalization group to construct a holographic dual for the U(N) vector model for complex bosons defined on a lattice. The bulk geometry becomes dynamical as the hopping amplitudes which determine connectivity of…
One of the unique features of quantum gravity is the lack of local observables and the completeness of boundary observables. We show that the existence of boundary observables for particles with mass…
Holography suggests a considerable reduction of degrees of freedom in theories with gravity. However it seems to be difficult to understand how holography could be realized in a closed re--contracting universe. In this letter we claim that…
We discuss relevant scalar deformations of a holographic theory with a compact boundary. An example of such a theory would be the global AdS$_4$ with its spatially compact boundary $S^2$. To introduce a relevant deformation, we choose to…
Holography for UV-incomplete gauge theories is important but poorly understood. A paradigmatic example is $d=4$, $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills coupled to $N_f$ quark flavors, which possesses a Landau pole at a UV scale $\Lambda_{LP}$.…
We consider the holographic dual of SQCD in the conformal phase. It is based on a higher derivative gravity theory, which ensures the correct field theory anomalies. This is then related to a six dimensional gravity theory via S^1…
We propose an infrared cut-off for the holographic density which incorporates among others a constant term, that produces the effect of the cosmological constant, improving the results of previously considered holographic models based on…
We examine the RG flow of a candidate c-function, extracted from the holographic entanglement entropy of a strip-shaped region, for theories with broken Lorentz invariance. We clarify the conditions on the geometry that lead to a break-down…
We speculate on the dynamical critical behavior of gravity in the extreme ultra-infrared (EuIR) sector and a mechanism to relax the cosmological constant. We show that in the EuIR the cosmological constant term could be made irrelevant for…
We discuss a non-dynamical theory of gravity in three-dimensions which is based on an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra that is closely related to an infinite-dimensional extended AdS algebra. We find an intriguing connection between on the…
The behavior of holographic CFTs is constrained by the existence of a bulk dual geometry. For example, in (2+1)-dimensional holographic CFTs living on a static spacetime with compact spatial slices, the vacuum energy must be nonpositive,…
We propose a local renormalization group procedure where length scale is changed in spacetime dependent way. Combining this scheme with an earlier observation that high energy modes in renormalization group play the role of dynamical…
Holographic principles have impacted the way we look at strong coupling phenomena in quantum chromodynamics, strongly interacting extensions of the standard model, and {condensed-matter} physics. In real world settings, however, we still…
Motivated by recent works on the role of the Holographic principle in cosmology, we relate a class of second order Ricci invariants to the IR cutoff characterizing the holographic Dark Energy density. The choice of second order invariants…
Aspects of holography or dimensional reduction in gravitational physics are discussed with reference to black hole thermodynamics. Degrees of freedom living on Isolated Horizons (as a model for macroscopic, generic, eternal black hole…
We show that holography arises naturally in the context of spherically symmetric loop quantum gravity. The result is not dependent on detailed assumptions about the dynamics of the theory being considered. It ties strongly the amount of…
F. Scardigli and R. Casadio have considered uncertainty principles which take into account the role of gravity and possible existence of extra spatial dimensions. They have argued that the predicted number of degrees of freedom enclosed in…
Computing the Euclidean spacetime action on-shell provides a useful way of both testing holographic proposals and determining the string theory sphere partition function. We consider families of three-dimensional linear dilaton spacetimes…
