F-theorem for Quantum Field Theories on Anti-de Sitter Space

Lorenzo Di Pietro (University of Trieste)

Wed Jan 21, 08:00-09:00 (9 days ago)

Abstract: After motivating the study of quantum field theory on the rigid background of Anti-de Sitter space and discussing the examples of confining gauge theories and 2d sigma models, I will explain how to assign to any massive QFT a UV and IR finite AdS partition function. I will then discuss the proposal that this quantity is monotonic under boundary RG flows that connect different AdS-invariant boundary conditions for the same bulk QFT.
