abstract

We review the formalism of holographic renormalization. We start by discussing mathematical results on asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes. We then outline the general method of holographic renormalization. The method is illustrated by working all details in a simple example: a massive scalar field on anti-de Sitter spacetime. The discussion includes the derivation of the on-shell renormalized action, of holographic Ward identities, anomalies and RG equations, and the computation of renormalized one-, two- and four-point functions. We then discuss the application of the method to holographic RG flows. We also show that the results of the near-boundary analysis of asymptotically AdS spacetimes can be analytically continued to apply to asymptotically de Sitter spacetimes. In particular, it is shown that the Brown-York stress energy tensor of de Sitter spacetime is equal, up to a dimension dependent sign, to the Brown-York stress energy tensor of an associated AdS spacetime.

A Menagerie of Wormholes and Cosmologies in the Gravitational Path Integral

hep-th · 2026-02-26 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

The paper identifies a variety of Euclidean saddle solutions including wormholes and oscillatory configurations in Einstein-Scalar-Maxwell models, demonstrates how oscillations are controlled by lifting flat potential directions, finds phase transitions, and shows analytic continuation to FLRW cosm

Inner Horizon Saddles and a Spectral KSW Criterion

hep-th · 2026-05-08 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Inner horizon saddles supply the semiclassical correction -exp(A_inner/4G) to near-extremal black-hole entropy and motivate a spectral KSW criterion for well-defined one-loop effects around complex gravitational saddles.

On prethermal time crystals from semi-holography

hep-th · 2025-12-25 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Semi-holographic systems with perturbative and holographic sectors exhibit prethermal time crystals through dissipationless modes in hydrodynamic channels plus short-wavelength instabilities that produce inhomogeneities over a wide temperature range.

Uncool soft-wall transitions and gravitational waves

hep-ph · 2026-04-07 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Soft-wall warped geometries yield rapid, mildly supercooled phase transitions whose TeV-scale gravitational wave signals are accessible to space-based interferometers.

Krylov Complexity

hep-th · 2025-07-08 · unverdicted · novelty 2.0

Krylov complexity is a canonical, parameter-independent measure of operator spreading that probes chaotic dynamics to late times and admits a geometric interpretation in holographic duals.

Quantum chaos and the holographic principle

quant-ph · 2026-04-14 · unverdicted · novelty 1.0

A review of the chaos-assisted holographic correspondence linking the SYK model to 2D JT gravity, including the need for string theory corrections at fine quantum scales.
