We re-examine holographic versions of the c-theorem and entanglement entropy in the
context of higher curvature gravity and the AdS/CFT correspondence. We select the gravity …

The conjectured F-theorem for three-dimensional field theories states that the finite part of
the free energy on S 3 decreases along RG trajectories and is stationary at the fixed points …

A bstract Using holographic entanglement entropy for strip geometry, we construct a
candidate for a c-function in arbitrary dimensions. For holographic theories dual to Einstein …

A bstract We study the dimensional continuation of the sphere free energy in conformal field
theories. In continuous dimension d we define the quantity\(\tilde {F}\)= sin (πd/2) log Z …

A bstract We study the boundary critical behavior of conformal field theories of interacting
fermions in the Gross-Neveu universality class. By a Weyl transformation, the problem can …

A bstract We study deformations of three-dimensional large N CFTs by double-trace
operators constructed from spin s single-trace operators of dimension Δ. These theories …

A bstract The presence of a boundary (or defect) in a conformal field theory allows one to
generalize the notion of an exactly marginal deformation. Without a boundary, one must find …

A bstract We consider free higher derivative theories of scalars and Dirac fermions in the
presence of a boundary in general dimension. We establish a method for finding consistent …

A bstract We describe a novel implementation of non-relativistic fermions in AdS/CFT by
imposing Lorentz violating boundary terms for a Dirac spinor in AdS 4. The dual boundary …

We consider higher derivative gravity lagrangians in three and four dimensions, which admit
simple c-theorems, including upto six derivative curvature invariants. Following a suggestion …
