Heating up Exotic RG Flows with Holography

Understand

We use holography to study finite-temperature deformations of RG flows that have exotic properties from an RG viewpoint.

• The holographic model consists of five-dimensional gravity coupled to a scalar field with a potential.
• Each negative extrema of the potential defines a dual conformal field theory.
• We find all the black brane solutions on the gravity side and use them to construct the thermal phase diagrams of the dual theories.
