abstract

An attempt is made to make precise the connection between Wilson's RG and "Holographic RG" by writing Wilson's RG in a holographic form. A functional formulation is given for the exact RG evolution of a scalar field in $d$ (flat) dimensions. It is shown that a change of variables maps the action to that for a scalar field in $AdS_{d+1}$. This provides a holographic form for Wilson's RG that can be called "Holographic RG". This mapping can only be done for a specific form of the cutoff function in the Exact Renormalization Group formalism. The notion of scale and conformal invariance in the presence of a {\em finite} UV cutoff is emphasized. The discussion is primarily about the two-point function and the Gaussian fixed point. Some remarks are made about nontrivial fixed points.

    The ERG evolution operator is SO(1,d+1)-invariant for any admissible cutoff, with cutoff-dependent conformal generators that reduce to standard AdS isometries for the special AdS-mapping cutoff.

    The ERG flow of the USp(2N) singlet sector of a free 3D U(2N) scalar theory yields a bulk AdS4 cubic action that is on-shell equivalent to Yang-Mills plus a field-strength-cubed term.
