These notes are loosely based on lectures given at the CERN Winter School on
Supergravity, Strings and Gauge theories, February 2009, and at the IPM String School in …

We review the formalism of holographic renormalization. We start by discussing
mathematical results on asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetimes. We then outline the …

A method for obtaining solutions to the classical equations for scalars plus gravity in five
dimensions is applied to some recent suggestions for brane-world phenomenology. The …

We systematically develop the procedure of holographic renormalization for RG flows dual
to asymptotically AdS domain walls. All divergences of the on-shell bulk action can be …

We propose a direct correspondence between the classical evolution equations of 5-d
supergravity and the renormalization group (RG) equations of the dual 4-d large-N gauge …

In these lecture notes we first assemble the basic ingredients of supersymmetric gauge
theories (particularly N= 4 super-Yang-Mills theory), supergravity, and superstring theory …

This paper is a continuation arXiv: 0707.1324 where improved holographic theories for QCD
were set up and explored. Here, the IR confining geometries are classified and analyzed …

Various holographic approaches to QCD in five dimensions are explored using input both
from the putative five-dimensional non-critical string theory as well as QCD. It is argued that …
