We perform holographic renormalization for probe branes in AdS_5 x S^5. We show that for four known probe D-branes wrapping an AdS_m x S^n, the counterterms needed to render the action finite are identical to those for the free, massive scalar in AdS_m plus counterterms for the renormalization of the volume of AdS_m. The four cases we consider are the probe D7, two different probe D5's and a probe D3. In the D7 case there are scheme-dependent finite counterterms that can be fixed by supersymmetry.

  1. Confinement and chiral symmetry breaking in holography: a smooth switch-off

    hep-th 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    A continuous one-parameter family of holographic geometries interpolates between confining and deconfined phases, with string tension and chiral condensate vanishing smoothly at the black hole endpoint.

  2. Entanglement C-functions of defects and interfaces in $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A probe-D5 holographic calculation gives analytic defect/interface entanglement entropy for massive D3/D5 intersections and shows the entropic C-function is monotonic but not always a finite degree-of-freedom count.

  3. Conductivities and excitations of a holographic flavour brane Weyl semimetal

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    AC conductivities of the D3/D7 holographic Weyl semimetal show peaks and troughs near the WSM-insulator transition, traced to quasinormal-mode poles with small imaginary parts.
